A Brief History of Time

From the Big Bang to Black Holes

De: Stephen W. Hawking

Narrado por: Michael Jackson

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.

Glad I finally got to get through

I’m really impressed and surprise how digestible This was. I had an impression That it was going to be pretty heady stuff it turned out to be quite accessible and I am grateful for Steven’s effort and explaining this in laments terms. Much more like Carl Segan or Neil Degrasse Tyson than I would have guessed

Challenging but good

This took me a year to read because I had to stop, take a couple physics courses, and also do a lot of research along the way. Because of that I learned a ton. I will be immediately buying another Hawking book! He’s brilliant. 🌹💐🥀🥀🥀

Hawkins’ sense of humor

Two another 20 or 30 times but this book was incredibly interesting. And I really loved Stephen’s sense of humor is writing. I’m looking forward to reading more of his books.

El tiempo en un libro

Lo que mas me gusta de los libros sobre estos temas es que pinta el mapa de todo lo que nos falta por descubrir del universo.

good book, annoying narrator

Very interesting topics but the narrator keeps pausing at random times, like he's reading it for the first time.

A load of dingo’s kidneys

Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy is a far better book on astrophysics.

"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."

"But," says Man, "The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."

"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanished in a puff of logic.

"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.

Most leading theologians claim that this argument is a load of dingo's kidneys, but that didn't stop Stephen Hawking from making a small fortune when he used it as the central theme of his best selling book 'A brief history of time.’

It still doesn't discount God

Very deep and impacted. Extraordinary glimpse into the mind of a genius. I think it shows that physics and religion are attempting to explain the same thing.

Not over my head

I was pleased to understand the theory presented, even though I know there was massive amounts of work and numbers and coffee by students and professionals behind the scenes.

Phenomenal

extraordinary content with appropriate verbage, highly recommended for anyone looking to take the next step to understanding the universe

Sort of feels like I am listening to God

Moving and stirring as when listening to a sermon when I believed in that. yup
