A Brief History of Time

Explains very complicated subject matter in a rather simple way…. But of course ,what else can we expect from a genius!

This book is really good for those interested in the universe. Now that I’m done with this one I’m going to check out his other books.

Hawking definitely challenges the average person’s ability to stretch their imagination and perspective to a scope not often reached. It’s a wonderful and informative read.

I like this book it is made by the smartest man ever but a little bit of advice to the now dead hawking it’s not a very good idea to make fun of religious people when most of the earth population is made up of it.

One of the best books that explains the complexities of our universe in an extremely digestible manner. The elegance of the writing is evident from the very beginning. Without getting into mathematical depths Stephen Hawking is able to simplify the reasoning behind some of the most fundamental principles in the world of quantum physics, theory of relativity and black holes! Buckle up and enjoy the ride!

Good!

Outstanding work and incredible information.

I enjoyed reading this book although it took me some time as there is quite a bit to absorb. I appreciate that while Hawking is a well known atheist he actually spends very little time discussing God. In fact, it is not until the last chapter that he really has anything to say about God at all. Even then he doesn’t draw the conclusion that God had nothing to do with the creation of the universe. Hawking seems content to let the reader draw his own conclusions. I can’t say that after reading this book I am now an expert on the origins of the universe, and that’s okay. That was never the point of the book to begin with. Hawking simply sets up a road map showing where the current theories of physics came from and possible destinations as to where science in general and physics in particular is taking us. I can see me reading more of Hawking’s books should the opportunity present itself.

You don’t have to be a physics geek or a member of mensa to appreciate the brilliant mind behind this book. Read this book if you want a greater understanding the universe, time and what makes it all go around. When you’re done reading it, you may find yourself going back a month or two later to pick up a thread, that’s how good it is. Hawking had a great mind, a strong spirit, and a sense of humility that will leave you laughing in parts. He lost as many bets as he won and some of the payouts were scandalously funny.

It's so unique and yet informative if your into physics or you just wonder in the middle of night when you can't sleep "why I'm I here?" Then this book is perfect I loved it till the very end
