About the Universe in Two Words

The rapid progress in technology and new knowledge about the structure of the visible and invisible world compel theoretical physicists to seek new explanations for the established order of things. The most intriguing discussions remain about space and time.
Since the... publication of the global bestseller «A Brief History of Time», Professor Stephen Hawking has closely followed the developments in astrophysics, until it finally became necessary to introduce the general public to what has changed at the forefront of science. Meanwhile, we have come very close to understanding the nature of the Universe in all its complexity. In an exciting dialogue with the reader, using accessible formulations, the author reveals the essence of quantum mechanics, time travel, black holes, and the theory of relativity. Traditionally, Stephen Hawking gives central importance to the theory of everything — as we, laypeople, have come to call it — or the unified field theory, the Holy Grail of modern physics."
