A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking

A Brief History of Time — written by Stephen Hawking, is one of the most famous books on cosmology and theoretical physics, explaining the mysteries of the universe in a way that is accessible to general readers.

In this groundbreaking work, Hawking explores the origin, structure, and fate of the universe, addressing profound questions such as: How did the universe begin? What is time? What happens inside a black hole? and Is there a boundary to the universe?

He discusses complex scientific concepts like the Big Bang, black holes, quantum mechanics, and relativity, while also exploring the philosophical implications of our understanding of space and time.

👉 Main Ideas:

• The universe began with the Big Bang and continues to expand.

• Time has a beginning, and possibly an end.

• Black holes are not entirely black — they emit radiation (now known as Hawking radiation).

• Science can help us approach the ultimate question: Why does the universe exist?
