The Illustrated a Brief History of Time

Kein Titelbild — Stephen Hawking: The Illustrated a Brief History of Time (1996)

The book was on the cutting edge of what was then known about the nature of the universe, but since that time there have been extraordinary advances in the technology of observing both the micro- and the macrocosmic worlds. These observations have confirmed many of Professor Hawking's theoretical predictions in the first edition of his book, including the recent discoveries of the Cosmic Background Explorer satellite (COBE), which probed back in time to within 300,000 years of the universe's beginning and revealed wrinkles in the fabric of space-time that he had projected. Eager to bring his original text the new knowledge revealed by these many observations, as well as his most recent research, for this expanded edition Professor Hawking has prepared a new introduction to the book, written an entirely new chapter on the fascinating subject of wormholes and time travel, and updated the original chapters. This edition is enhanced throughout with more than 240 full-color illustrations, including satellite images, photographs made possible by spectacular technological advances such as the Hubble Space Telescope, and computer-generated images of three and four dimensional realities.

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
