The most famous astrophysicist of our time will tell you simply about the difficult!
Rapid advances in technology and new knowledge about the structure of the visible and invisible world force theoretical physicists to seek new explanations for the established order of things. And the most intriguing reasoning remains about space and time.
Since the publication of the world bestselling book A Brief History of Time, Professor Stephen Hawking has closely followed the development of astrophysics until it is finally time to bring the general public up to date on what has changed at the forefront of science. In the meantime, we have come close to understanding the nature of the universe in all its complexity. In a breathtaking dialogue with the reader, using the formulations available to everyone, the author reveals the essence of quantum mechanics, time travel, black holes and the theory of relativity. Stephen Hawking traditionally focuses on the theory of everything — as we ordinary people call it — or the unified field theory, the Holy Grail of modern physics.
