Hawking’s vast knowledge of the universe has always been fascinating to me, and it deeply captivated me when I first read this book several years ago. As a beginner in astronomy, I had much to learn, but that didn’t discourage me. Instead, it only encouraged me to delve deeper into the subject.

Many years later, this book fell into my hands again. And well, who am I to deny Stephen Hawking my full attention?

With each passing year, my appreciation for this book has only grown. Stephen Hawking was a remarkable theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author, known for his contributions to physics and his ability to explain complex concepts in a way anyone could understand. Until his death, he made significant contributions to physics despite his physical limitations, and his legacy continues to inspire millions...

This book was far more interesting and more accessible than I thought it would be. ( )

A Brief History of Time was written in 1988 and has been obsolete for a while. A good chunk of Hawking's rhetoric is based on the slowing down of the expansion of the universe, which we found out to be wrong in 1998. The opposite has been observed - the universe's expansion is accelerating. But most of the rest of the book is still a high-quality way to intimidate the public who don't have sufficient physics to easily follow what Dr. Hawking says about energy. His frivolous use of electronvolts in a popular book astounds me. ( )

Blew my mind. ( )

My brain hurts...but in a good way! Adding this to my list of essential non-fiction! ( )
