The Theory of Everything: The Origin and Fate of Universe (2002), Stephen HawkingBased on a series of lectures given at Cambridge University, Professor Hawking's work introduced "the history of ideas about the universe" as well as today's most important scientific theories about time, space, and the cosmos in a clear, easy-to-understand way. The Theory of Everything presents the most complex theories, both past and present, of physics. It will enlighten readers and expose them to the rich histor...

Genre: Science, Cosmology.Publication Date: 2002A book on Gravity, Black holes, matter-anti matter, light, quantum mechanics, time and space. Its a cosmological thriller.

An artist's sketch of a black hole's event horizonSometimes when we look at the evening sky, observe a shooting star far away or admire the beauty of moon, we are overpowered by this idea of our seemingly insignificant existence in the Universe. For if we compare our very own presence, that of our world or our country, even of our planet or our galaxy with the Universe, it is bewildering that we seem to occupy not even a speck of dust as compared to the vastness of the Universe. Many of us are t...

This book is a boon for physics lover. The author didn't include complicated mathematical equations. He kept language simple and easily understandable. The author mixes science with philosophy. It exhibits a subtle sense of humor in the book. It's a short read. Stephen Hawking poses interesting questions about God. All in all, a recommended reading.Read full review - Books Charming

After reading A Brief History of Time, I wanted to read Stephen Hawking's other books immediately.The Theory of Everything consists of lectures and notes by Prof. Hawking. His writing still amazes me whenever I get to have a look at his books.

The only other book that I have read from Stephen Hawking is A Brief History of Time. I wasn’t a big fan of that book, because I felt that it didn’t really do a great job in its task as a popular science book. Unfortunately, this book is far too similar to A Brief History of Time and I’m even sure many passages are almost a plain copy.It starts of with the usual approach that some popular science books still use today, a very short synopsis of the history of science, from the ancient Greeks unti...

Right from childhood, astronomy has always fascinated me. But as an adult with growing responsibilities, my focus shifted, and I could not read much of it after my school. The Theory of Everything by Stephan Hawking was a great read to get my attention back to it. This book is a boon to astronomy and astrophysics lovers. Professor Hawking has tried to illustrate some really complex ideas in a very simple language for everyone to easily understand. No complicated formulae are used. The book is a

Language is lucid. However, at times theories are quite complex and simple pictorial illustrations if incorporated might have had been useful. The book starts off with the ancient theories on universe evolution and gradually explains reasons for non-feasibility of the same in a structured manner. It is followed by explaining that why universe is non-static, future of stars, different evolutionary models, flaws in them, the paradox which is created if we assume singularity to be existent at the t...

The Theory of Everything is a book written by Stephen Hawking that explains all the theories related to the creation and working of the universe. Hawking describes these hypotheses in a simple manner such that any person can understand them. He starts by explaining the ancient ideas of the universe and ends by explaining string theory and quantum gravity. It’s truly a good book for understanding black holes, the big bang, general relativity, quantum physics, and many more theoriesIn my opinion,

I wasn't sure what to expect when I approached this book. Being such a huge Einstein fan and knowing how he struggled in his own, final quest for the Theory of Everything just before he died, well, I didn't know what to think. Had Hawking finally cracked that elusive nut?I was originally homeless when I first discovered this book, and living in my car with my 2 cats. I would head to the library on special days to kill time, and immediately go to this book and throw myself into its pages. I'd alw...

*Book review by Danyal Talpur* The book the "theory of everything" is written by Stephen Hawking. This book is mostly about Cosmology. This book is comprised of seven lectures, these lectures are on the creation and the fate of the universe, Black holes, direction of time, and the theory of everything. The writing style of Stephen Hawking is very simple and easy, he illustrates very complex ideas with daily life examples. In the first lecture, Stephen Hawking gives an outline of the history of

Audiobook was not the smart choice for this for me. I'm not an auditory learner and didn't take this into account. So I don't think I retained any of this information. However, while I listened I was completely enthralled. He really does a great job of simplifying deluxe principles. Thermodynamics seem to be the focus here.

[ AUDIOBOOK ]Story: 4/5Audio: 4/5Narrated by Michael York.I don’t tend to read non-fiction, but when I do, I happen to search for things that would make me understand the world a little better. Stephen Hawking was a remarkable man that wondered about important topics such as the existence of black holes and everything that comes with them. In here he talks about the expansion of the universe, the different theories of how it was created and it also brings a few questions to the table –questions

I had tried reading this book when I was in school. I remember how I understood all the words, as Prof. Hawking has refrained from using terms too technical, but couldn't stitch together a picture. And I was only gonna put so much effort into looking cool; so I left reading it halfway.I finally read this book, having graduated in Physics; and can empathize with school-me. Chapter 2 has Friedmann models and singularities and CMBR. I felt they had been well explained for the general audience, but

I shall never forget listening to this brilliant book gazing at the stormy night sky throughout. The text really came alive. Stephen Hawking's vivid writing feeds the tiny spark of curiosity one would have about our universe, and turns it a into a consuming conflagration. (P.S. Self reminder to revisit the Feynman and his 'Sum over histories' part with some priming on the topic)

Black holes, stars, the beauty of a supernova and the universe. Take these together and mix them with a scientist: Boom! An explosion! A Big Bang! The theory of almost everything we are eager to understand about the beginning of the times. This review will include a brief history of this book [PUN]!Not only did Stephen Hawking describe those concepts easily in this book, but he also made us have free access to his deep studies. He was born exactly 300 years after Galileo's death and became one o...

Hawking has unraveled the most complicated parts of science in the most simple way almost anyone can understand, digest and enjoy it."Why don't we notice all these extra dimensions if they are really there? Why do we see only three space and one time dimension? The suggestion is that the other dimensions are curved up into a space of very small size, something like a million million million million millionth of an inch. This is so small that we just don't notice it. We see only the three space a...

Excellent start, very comprehensible and enjoyable to read. The first three chapters are marvelous. Towards the end, either it reaches my horizon limits in physics, or the author is too occupied to justify his own theories to care about the reader's understanding. I was lost in the end. All in all, a recommended reading.

This book is about theories of everything, really? No, but nearly. It tell us about theories in the universe, important scientific discoveries, facts and future development. It's nice to read something like this. It adds something to the general knowledge we know about the world and the universe we live in.

Not a novel per se but a collection of lectures by Mr Hawking, which explores the origins of the universe and tries to find the answer to "Why does the Universe exist, anyway?". Stephen Hawking tries to explain the origin of the Universe or The Big Bang without going into the technicalities and also gives a brief overview of various theories present that try to explain the state of the Universe (even the String theory). The writing is simple but still multiple readings will be required to comple...
