Resumen del Editor

Number one New York Times best seller

One of the greatest minds of our time explores profound questions such as: How did the universe begin — and what made its start possible? Does time always flow forward? Is the universe unending — or are there boundaries? Are there other dimensions in space? What will happen when it all ends?

Told in language we all can understand, A Brief History of Time plunges into the exotic realms of black holes and quarks, of antimatter and “arrows of time,” of the big bang and a bigger God — where the possibilities are wondrous and unexpected. Stephen Hawking brings us closer to the ultimate secrets at the very heart of creation.

Distracting audio

I found the narrator very distracting. From the intro, apparently this is a remaster of an old recording. Sound quality is fine. But can often hear narrator misspeak, turn pages, etc. - stuff that would normally be rerecorded. He's also an (audio) overactor - weird pronunciation choices, an overly humorous tone. Returning
