The Ultimate Design

When and how did the Universe begin? Why are we where we are? Why did something replace the ominous nothing? What is the nature of reality? Why is the Universe tuned in such a delicate way that allows for human... existence? And finally — is the established order in our world evidence of a higher design by an omnipotent Creator who determined the nature of things, or can science offer an alternative explanation? Fundamental questions about the origin of the Universe and life itself, once the domain of philosophy, are now in the hands of philosophers, theologians, and scientists who never tire of debating. In this book, the authors, Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow, present current scientific hypotheses about the mysteries of the cosmos — in a popular form, in language that is both simple and precise. An amazing book that provides new unexpected answers to the main questions of existence.
