About this listen

In physicist Stephen Hawking's brilliant opus, A Brief History of Time, he presented us with a bold new look at our universe, how it began, and how our old views of physics and tired theories about the creation of the universe were no longer relevant. In other words, Hawking gave us a new look at our world, our universe, and ourselves.

Now, Hawking presents an even more comprehensive look at our universe, its creation, and how we see ourselves within it. Imagine sitting in a comfortable room listening to Hawking discuss his latest theories and place them in historical context with science's other great achievements--it would be like hearing Christopher Columbus deliver the news about the new world.

Hawking presents a series of seven lectures in which he describes, more clearly than ever, the history of the universe as we know it. He begins with the history of ideas about the universe, from Aristotle's idea that the Earth is round to Hubble's discovery two millennium later that our universe is growing.

Using this history as a launching pad, Hawking takes us on a fascinating journey through the telescopic lens of modern physics to gain a new glimpse of the universe--the nature of black holes, the space-time continuum, and new information about the origin of the universe. He uses this scientific basis to come up with a "unified theory of everything" that the author claims will be "the ultimate triumph of human reason."

Must read book

Awesome book!
You must have much higher attention span to read this book. I personally consider fiction is better option for audio book. The problem with non fiction and technical books like this is you have to rewind if you miss anything or want to hear it again for better clarity.

Grand theory of nothing - philosophy

Started with a bang, slowly burnt out and finally became a black hole. String theory is too comical to fit everything. Each point in space may have its own laws. Currently what we know is space time is different but how we will behave there is not known. Whether space time change our life, evolution or earth time is questionable.
