A good chunk of Hawking's rhetoric is based on the slowing down of the expansion of the universe, which we found out to be wrong in 1998. The opposite has been observed - the universe's expansion is accelerating. But most of the rest of the book is still a high-quality way to intimidate the public who don't have sufficient physics to easily follow what Dr. Hawking says about energy. His frivolous use of electronvolts in a popular book astounds me. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A landmark volume in science writing by one of the great minds of our time, Stephen Hawking's book explores such profound questions as: How did the universe begin--and what made its start possible? Does time always flow forward? Is the universe unending--or are there boundaries? Are there other dimensions in space? What will happen when it all ends? Told in language we all can understand, A Brief History of Time plunges into the exotic realms of black holes and quarks, of antimatter and "arrows of time," of the big bang and a bigger God--where the possibilities are wondrous and unexpected. With exciting images and profound imagination, Stephen Hawking brings us closer to the ultimate secrets at the very heart of creation. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Many years later, this book fell into my hands again. And well, who am I to deny Stephen Hawking my full attention?
With each passing year, my appreciation for this book has only grown. Stephen Hawking was a remarkable theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author, known for his contributions to physics and his ability to explain complex concepts in a way anyone could understand. Until his death, he made significant contributions to physics despite his physical limitations, and his legacy continues to inspire millions...
