Voice Synth 1  |   andres_ferraro | Oct 27, 2009 |  Stephen Hawking clearly possesses a natural teacher's gifts, easy, good-natured humor and an ability to ilustrate highly complex propositions with analogies plucked from daily life. HanoarHatzioni | Jun 29, 2009 | This book is good for those people who are interested in the universe, and only understood by the serious ones. I had trouble comprehending much of the lectures, but I felt that I did learn a lot of new information and ways of looking and the universe, time, and space. Not a book for the casual reader. (  ) dman999327 | Apr 24, 2009 | In Stephen Hawking style, books becomes incomprehensible to reasonable mind somewhere midway. It's collection of lectures dealing with origin of universe, time and black holes but he is not lucid to non-scientific mind. (  ) ashishg | Dec 1, 2008 | (2002 edition). I think this short book might be the one that Hawking complained about as being published without his permission, cashing in on the success of _The Universe in a Nutshell_. It's a series of general-public-oriented lectures, predating the 1998 discovery of accelerating expansion. fpagan | Dec 28, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
Professor Hawking transformed our view of the universe in his landmark bestselling book A Brief History of Time, and most recently in the bestselling Universe in a Nutshell. Here he reviews ideas about the universe from Aristotle to Newton and Einstein, applying the principle of quantum mechanics to the Big Bang, black holes, and the universe's ultimate fate. He goes on to advance a "no boundary" theory of time and space that could lead to one unified theory and a true understanding of our universe. The Theory of Everything presents the most complex theories, both past and present, of physics; yet it remains clear and accessible. It will enlighten readers and expose them to the rich history of scientific thought and the complexities of the universe in which we live.
