À propos de cet audio
FROM ONE OF THE MOST BRILLIANT MINDS OF OUR TIME COMES A BOOK THAT CLARIFIES HIS MOST IMPORTANT IDEAS
Stephen Hawking’s worldwide bestseller A Brief History of Time remains a landmark volume in scientific writing. But for readers who have asked for a more accessible formulation of its key concepts—the nature of space and time, the role of God in creation, and the history and future of the universe—A Briefer History of Time is Professor Hawking’s response.
Although “briefer,” this book is much more than a mere explanation of Hawking’s earlier work. A Briefer History of Time both clarifies and expands on the great subjects of the original, and records the latest developments in the field—from string theory to the search for a unified theory of all the forces of physics. Thirty-seven full-color illustrations enhance the text and make A Briefer History of Time an exhilarating and must-have addition in its own right to the great literature of science and ideas.
Ce que les critiques en disent
Praise for the original edition of A Brief History of Time
“[Hawking] can explain the complexities of cosmological physics with an engaging combination of clarity and wit. . . . His is a brain of extraordinary power.”—The New York Review of Books
“Lively and provocative . . . Mr. Hawking clearly possesses a natural teacher’s gifts—easy, good-natured humor and an ability to illustrate highly complex propositions with analogies plucked from daily life.”—The New York Times
“Even as he sits helpless in his wheelchair, his mind seems to soar ever more brilliantly across the vastness of space and time to unlock the secrets of the universe.”—Time
“This book marries a child’s wonder to a genius’s intellect. We journey into Hawking’s universe while marvelling at his mind.”—The Sunday Times (London)
“A masterful summary of what physicists now think the world is made of and how it got that way.”—The Wall Street Journal
“Charming and lucid . . . [a book of] sunny brilliance.”—The New Yorker
Amazing, brilliantly executed

Amazing book.

I would be a five star review had the authors have the same care towards explaining in more detail the findings of quantum mechanics. I feel like chapter 03 in particular was rushed with a ton of information and implications that are hard to digest without proper context, so I felt more like I was listening to a story that actually learning something.
Also, there’s too much about god (the catholic one). I’m aware many of the brilliant scientists depicted in the book were believers (nothing wrong with that), but the book itself dedicates quite a lot to conjectures on the nature and the limits of god and it’s hypothetical role in the universe. It’s just not necessary and frankly quite annoying.
But overall it is a great book, and it opened my mind to so many new and exciting concepts on how the universe works. It feels like a great starting point to all the concepts illustrated.
First half of the book is fantastic, the rest not so much
