Product Description
A Brief History of Time, published in 1988, was a landmark volume in science writing and in world-wide acclaim and popularity, with more than 9 million copies in print globally. The original edition was on the cutting edge of what was then known about the origins and scenery of the universe. But the ensuing years have seen extraordinary advances in the equipment of observing both the micro- and the macrocosmic world–observations that have confirmed many of Hawking’s theoretical predictions in the first edition of his book.
Now a decade later, this edition updates the chapters throughout to document persons advances, and also includes an entirely new chapter on Wormholes and Time Travel and a new introduction. It make vividly clear why A Brief History of Time has transformed our view of the universe.Amazon.com Review
Stephen Hawking, one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists in history, wrote the modern classic A Brief History of Time to help nonscientists know the questions being questioned by scientists today: Where did the universe come from? How and why did it start? Will it come to an end, and if so, how? Hawking attempts to reveal these questions (and where we’re looking for answers) using a minimum of technical jargon. Among the topics kindly covered are gravity, black holes, the Huge Bang, the scenery of time, and physicists’ search for a grand unifying theory. This is deep science; these concepts are so vast (or so tiny) as to cause vertigo while reading, and one can’t help but marvel at Hawking’s ability to synthesize this hard theme for people not used to thinking about things like alternate dimensions. The journey is certainly worth taking, for, as Hawking says, the reward of understanding the universe may be a glimpse of “the mind of God.” –Therese Littleton

Here is the last chapter by French leader Maurice, Dr. Bucaille,

If you are lost by reading Carl Sagan or Hawking, read the answer in the above book. Most of the authors are like very excellent soccer player, they take the ball, maneuver very nice moves, people cheers.. but when it is time to score a goal, they shoot too wide. This book is no exception.

The umbilicus of this book is very large. It is one of the reasons I bought it, in spite of the fact that it is very large. Anacolutha virtually ooze out of its orifice, in a gush of putrescent verbiage. Despite it’s immense dimensions, it is surprisingly devoid of daikon spritzer; I usually find some around. To enter into its Weltanschaung is a quixotic instance of deja vu, preceded by a perfunctory act of sesquipedalian seppuku. In conclusion, I would say that you are probably missing the point.

I was open-minded before I read this “book”. So hideous theory cannot clarify our Universe. It looks like a religious movement with its invented concepts of black holes, huge bang etc. This hideous theory deserves a public birning and we need a new generation of honest scientists and not that “mafia circle” promoting their books to gain a dirty money.
Viva a new Science!!!

… At the present time I am studying Physics at ‘A’ level, which,
although it helped me to know a lot of what was going on in the
book it was nontheless a bit confusing in places, especially, I establish,
in the last three chapters. Although Steven Hawking has indeed cut
out an incrediable ammount of the jargon in this book it is still an
advantage to know at least the basics of Physics and of physics
related subjects, if you don’t you will find this book a bit of a hard
read. But, this is a very intresting book and I definatly recomend
it to anyone studying physics at any level (It has certainly helped me
in my studies) This book is generally excellent reading for all but is a
bit tough in places. Especially useful to anyone studying physics.
