A Brief History of Time

From the Big Bang to Black Holes

Kein Titelbild — Stephen Hawking: A Brief History of Time (Paperback, 1990, Bantam)

A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes is a book on theoretical cosmology by English physicist Stephen Hawking. It was first published in 1988. Hawking wrote the book for readers who had no prior knowledge of physics and people who are interested in learning something new about interesting subjects. In A Brief History of Time, Hawking writes in non-technical terms about the structure, origin, development and eventual fate of the Universe, which is the object of study of astronomy and modern physics. He talks about basic concepts like space and time, basic building blocks that make up the Universe (such as quarks) and the fundamental forces that govern it (such as gravity). He writes about cosmological phenomena such as the Big Bang and black holes. He discusses two major theories, general relativity and quantum mechanics, that modern scientists use to describe the Universe. Finally, he talks about the search for a unifying theory that describes everything in the Universe in a coherent manner. The book became a bestseller and sold more than 25 million copies.

Gianluigi hat Dal big bang ai buchi neri von Stephen Hawking besprochen (BUR. Supersaggi -- SG21)

Un libro che ha segnato molte carriere (inclusa la mia)

5,0 stars

Stephen Hawking, grazie al suo lavoro di ricerca e ai suoi libri divulgativi, ha segnato la carriera di molti giovani fisici, indipendentemente dal campo in cui hanno poi scelto di lavorare. Nella sua vasta produzione, il libro che più di tutti ha influenzato le scelte di molti studenti di fisica è stato indubbiamente Dal Big Bang ai buchi neri. Il libro tocca vari temi, tutti connessi tra loro e raccontati nell’ottica del cosmologo moderno, che prova ad applicare la meccanica quantistica per risolvere i misteri dell'universo. La natura dello spazio e del tempo (che verrà successivamente approfondita ne L'universo in un guscio di noce, ritenuto una sorta di seguito di questo primo libro divulgativo), l'espansione dell'universo si uniscono insieme con gli ingredienti della meccanica quantistica nelle speculazioni su quegli strani oggetti cosmici noti come buchi neri.

Got close and then stopped listening for a couple weeks. When I came back, it was incomprehensible to be because I had forgotten most of the essential foundation laid by the rest of the book :(

Making science accessible to everyone! This really inspired me to love science, or maybe I already loved science.

I just finished listening to Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time. It was astonishing. It made me want to understand the universe in a way that no book has in the past. I actually feel like I have a grasp on what quantum physics is, when in the past I have always felt like it was a murky pool of unknowns. I can't recommend it enough, if there are any of you that didn't beat me to it. #physics #hawking #book #review #audiobook
