Publisher's Summary

Please note: This is key takeaways and analysis of the book, not the original book.

Preview:

Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time is about the universe, both the grand-scale universe of stars and planets (general relativity) and the tiny universe of atoms and subatomic particles (quantum mechanics). The reason the book covers both dimensions is that understanding both is the only way to comprehend the way the universe works as a whole. Some theories explain the workings of the grand scale of the universe, and others explain the workings of the minute scale, but they tend to contradict one another. And, currently, there is no theory that explains both....

Very misleading title.

Unless you look closely at the cover photo, the extremely short runtime, or the other one-star reviews, you might not realize that this isn't the actual book, but someone's summary of it. Glad I only wasted $3 on it rather than one of my credits.

THIS IS NOT BY STEPHEN HAWKING

I’m ANGRY it came up when I was trying to get the book on my phone. I’m trying to hear books, not a book report on the book I was looking for. What a waste of my credit!!! I thought it was the introduction to the book, because why would anyone expect Amazon to put this book report as the top option for a famous popular science book?! Audio books are for people who might not have good eyesight. Awful!!!
