A brief history of time. Hawking S.

“Brief History of Time” by Stephen Hawking is one of the pillars of modern popular science literature.

In this book, the author tries to answer the most difficult and intriguing questions about the universe:

- When and why did the universe begin?

- Is the universe unlimited or does it have a limit?

- Did time always flow along the usual vector?

- Are there possible travel travel?

- What awaits space in the distant future?

Stephen Hawking does not draw unequivocal conclusions, since no one has yet dared to the front line of science. However, he translates into a lively and figurative language the most difficult provisions of theoretical physics and transfers the reader to the amazing expanses of antimatter, superstrod, quarks, black holes and gravitational waves - to where God seems even more incomprehensible and omnipotent. Relying to unexpected images, and not the formulas-the exception is only the Einstein e = mc2,-Stephen Hawking brings us closer to unraveling the secrets lying in the heart of the universe.
