A Brief History of Time
From the Big Bang to Black Holes
Book • 1998
In 'A Brief History of Time', Stephen Hawking delves into fundamental questions about the universe, including its origin, the nature of space and time, and the fate of the cosmos.
The book discusses key concepts such as the Big Bang, black holes, and the theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics.
Hawking also explores the possibility of time travel and wormholes, and he reflects on the intersection of science and philosophy, including the search for a unifying theory of everything and the implications for our understanding of existence and the universe.
