Immediate buy at a library sale, interesting topics and fun to look up what has been discovered since the publish date 1988 and compare. Some diagram captions I had to laugh at - "WORLD-SHEET OF TWO OPEN STRINGS JOINING" ( ) 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.
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.
