PDF-(BOOS)-A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes

Stephen Hawking one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists in history wrote the modern classic A Brief History of Time to help nonscientists understand fundamental questions of physics and our existence where did the universe come from How and why did it begin Will it come to an end and if so howHawking attempts to deal with these questions and where we might look for answers using a minimum of technical jargon Among the topics gracefully covered are gravity black holes the Big Bang the nature of time and physicists search for a grand unifying theory This is deep science the concepts are so vast or so tiny that they cause mental vertigo while reading and one cant help but marvel at Hawkings ability to synthesize this difficult subject for people not used to thinking about things like alternate dimensions The journey is certainly worth taking for as Hawking says the reward of understanding the universe may be a glimpse of the mind of GodFrom Hawking dot org dot ukA Brief History of Time published in 1988 was a landmark volume in science writing and in worldwide acclaim and popularity with more than 9 million copies in print globally The original edition was on the cutting edge of what was then known about the origins and nature of the universe But the ensuing years have seen extraordinary advances in the technology of observing both the micro and the macrocosmic worldobservations that have confirmed many of Hawkings theoretical predictions in the first edition of his book Now a decade later this edition updates the chapters throughout to document those advances and also includes an entirely new chapter on Wormholes and Time Travel and a new introduction It makes vividly clear why A Brief History of Time has transformed our view of the universe Refers to later editions.
