None No current Talk conversations about this book. I don’t pretend to understand all the concepts of science or mathematics, or space. But I like it when scientific and history books make the matter they discuss more relatable and explainable for laypeople. I did giggle at some of the comments. ( ![]() I tried but uh I have no basic understanding of physics. A decade later and I still have no idea what the fuck he's talking about. My force of will expanded my read count to 150 pages longer than 18 year old me. I TRIED. I FAILED. Partea despre timp, istoria teoriilor fizicii și univers în general (cam 2/3 din carte) a fost foarte interesantă, accesibilă de înțeles și pt nivel de fizică de liceu și suprinzător de captivantă (fizică citită ”light”, cu plăcere, cine-ar fi crezut?!). Partea despre găuri negre (1/3 din carte) m-a plictisit și nu mi s-a părut că ar avea legătură cu restul, ci doar că-i place lui Hawkings subiectul (de aici minus un punct). Oricum, recomandată oricui vrea să aibă un nivel basic de fizică și astronomie - și să nu se plictiseacă obținându-l. First hundred pages are excellent, but then it gets to the then current day and becomes more a standard academic ‘this is what I think’ book. Brilliant. An overview of all the interesting physics that I hoped to understand. Unfortunately, Hawking doesn't manage to achieve that for me despite his use of excellent analogies and diagrams; maybe the odd formula or two would have helped?
Through his cerebral journeys, Mr. Hawking is bravely taking some of the first, though tentative, steps toward quantizing the early universe, and he offers us a provocative glimpse of the work in progress. Is contained inIs expanded inIs replied to inHas as a reference guide/companion
