The Theory of Everything - Stephen Hawkins

May 13, 2018 Unknown 0 Comments

 
The Theory of Everything Paperback – Special Edition, by Stephen Hawking
The Stephen Hawking who recently died was an English cosmologist, theoretical physicist, and author. He was also the Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology under the University of Cambridge.
This book is a view of the world through the author’s eyes. In this book he combines seven lectures which explain to a reader in very easy language and explanation or a theory for everything under the sun. It could be about the origin of the universe. It could be a problem related to mathematics or it could be about existence. He clearly states in his lectures that it was not one event that began everything but a series of events which led to the origin. Using the individual theories he has created a theory of his own on the origin of everything. He dismisses the all powerful entity or God.
The reader will be introduced to everything – ideologies, theories, Big Bang, Black holes, time and yet he is skeptical and says that there are obstacles in this theory and is not as simple as it sounds in the text. He talks about four types of forces – weak, strong, gravity and electromagnetic. It is an extraordinary theory that talks about science and natural powers.
 This is a reprint of the book published in 2006.
