This book ends with little microbiographies of Einstein, Galileo, and Newton. That... was a treat. Afskaplega fróðleg bók og merkilega aðgengileg miðað við hver skrifar hana. Maður má þó hafa sig allan við að skilja það sem um er rætt en eftir stendur að viðhorfið gagnvart tíma og geimnum hefur tekið miklum stakkaskiptum. Hawking seems by turns repelled and reassured by tautologies, and accomplishes his explanations of the history of physics with more clarity than his elaboration of newer theories, but I still grasp these concepts better when they're explained by practitioners of the science than via layman interpretation. Not the best choice for an audiobook. It's very dense with a lot of information. I'll have to give it another try with an old-fashioned paper book.
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.
