"'An astonishingly good read, gripping and thought-provoking' - William Lane Craig'If you wanted to understand Stephen Hawking but couldn't face the maths, this is the book for you.' - Dr Althea Wilkinson, Jodrell BankStephen Hawking kept breaking rules. Given two years to live, he managed another 54. He wrote about quantum cosmology - and sold 20 million books. He could not speak, yet the world recognized his voice. Hutchings and Wilkinson shine light on his extraordinary ideas. The result is a story of black holes, origins, many universes, and Big Questions. 'Remarkable.' - Professor Christine Done, Durham University'Highly recommended.' - Dr Luke Barnes, author, The Cosmic Revolutionary's Handbook'A warm and well-balanced portrait of Stephen Hawking and his seminal contributions to our understanding of the universe.' - Professor Reed A. Guy, Seattle University, USADavid Hutchings is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics. Professor David Wilkinson is Principal of St John's College, Durham, and a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society."-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

It's a remarkably easy read showing the main advances in cosmology that Stephen Hawking made during his enormously significant career -- including on Big Bang, black holes, Hawking Radiation, and the nature of time itself.
The last part shows that Hawking is not the first physicist to get deeply embedded in metaphysics and philosophy, despite declaring philosophy "dead". This is where he founders, being blind to the limits of physics, and the irreducible theoretical problems with invoking multiverses and dismissing notions of God. ( )
