#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA 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 … 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.

Well written, science facts.
Difficult for a layman to read. Maybe too much science and esoteric language. But informative nonetheless.
An easy read of material that is generally accepted as being incomprehensible. The narrative is often personalized and witty making the read enjoyable as well as educational.
Not as hard to read as you think, but not for the squeamish. If you want a taste of one of the world’s most brilliant minds, read this classic book.
Hawking, like his contemporary physicists who are doing similar books, wants to make the outskirts of physics understandable to the non-scientist. Like his colleagues, he succeeds if you are willing to stick with him. I am sure he would not be offended if his desire for you to understand the wacky and wonderful world of reality is not rewarded by total success. Read the book more than once. Every time you do, the point will become clearer and sharper. It’s a Scientific American romp through time and space.
The author is a towering genius of our time. He took a complex subject and made it almost understandable. I think I got about one-fifth of what he was saying and I don’t think that’s bad at all. A great book. Yes I think time travel just might be possible.
I found this to very interesting and informative. Anyone curious about Space, Time and the processes of the Universe. This book by a genuine Genius is for you.
A must read book
