this is trash

Stephen Hawking's "A brief history of Time" is an extraordinary book; it is 'brief' and precise. The book covers Space & Time, Black Holes, Worm Holes, Universe theories of the beginning and predictions of the end, unified theories, and cosmology theories.
The book is written relatively and intentionally in a simple way for average readers to understand, succeeding in avoiding math and physics equations as much as possible. However, in my opinion, some parts of the book are still challenging to grasp. Aside from this, "A brief history of Time" is a great 'brief' lesson of time. I enjoyed this book very much and would recommend it to anyone despite their background and field of study. 

this book marries a boy's wonder to the genius's intellect.

Good book to not only understand the origin of universe but also basic fundamentals of physics

I got the version with no pictures in it, so I can't understand some concepts mentioned in the book. May reread later when I become (more) interested in physics or astronomy. It's one of the books I just picked randomly, even though my significant other mentioned it at least once. Leer comentario completo

Beautifully written, in the sense that I, a mere layperson, could understood a whole book on theoretical physics with minimum eye-glaze or supervision. I would have loved this book being taught in a ... Leer comentario completo
