Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.

Was there a beginning of time? Could time run backwards? Is the universe infinite or does it have boundaries?

These are just some of the questions considered in the internationally acclaimed masterpiece by the world renowned physicist - generally considered to have been one of the world's greatest thinkers.

It begins by reviewing the great theories of the cosmos from Newton to Einstein, before delving into the secrets which still lie at the heart of space and time, from the Big Bang to black holes, via spiral galaxies and strong theory. To this day A Brief History of Time remains a staple of the scientific canon, and its succinct and clear language continues to introduce millions to the universe and its wonders.

'This book marries a child's wonder to a genius's intellect. We journey into Hawking's universe while marvelling at his mind.' The Sunday Times

'Lively and provocative . . . Mr. Hawking clearly possesses a natural teacher's gifts--easy, good-natured humor and an ability to illustrate highly complex propositions with analogies plucked from daily life.'--The New York Times

as good as it can get without compromising the science too much. still a steep listen for those who aren't deep into the subject. still worth the effort if you're interested in the subject or curious to understand the process of scientists, there's knowledge to draw from here and there even if you don't understand the science, since it gets philosophical to be able to complement concepts and relevant beliefs.

I can't listen to this it's far too quiet. Any amount of background noise and it may as well not play at all, even when the phone is at full volume.
