Stephen Hawking. The best. Science of the Universe with Stephen Hawking in Pockets

Stephen Hawking is a legendary man, an English theoretical physicist and popularizer of science, known for his work in the field of black holes, one of the founders of quantum cosmology. Leonard Mlodinow is an American theoretical physicist and mathematician,... screenwriter and novelist. The Highest Design In this book, the authors present current scientific hypotheses about the secrets of the universe. When and how did the Universe originate? Why are we where we are? Why did something take the place of the ominous nothingness? What is the nature of reality? Why is the Universe configured in precisely the subtlest way that allows a person to exist? An amazing book that gives new unexpected answers to the main questions of life. Black holes and young universes For the first time, a lecture entitled “Black holes and young universes” was given at the University of California at Berkeley. Supplemented by Stephen Hawking's thoughts on this and related topics, it became part of this collection, composed of 13 essays and an extensive interview. On these pages, Hawking explains the most likely models of the structure of the Universe. He discusses imaginary time, how black holes can give birth to young universes, and scientists' attempts, begun by Albert Einstein, to find a unified field theory that could make the macrocosm predictable. A Brief History of Time A Brief History of Time is more than a lengthy commentary on the complex concepts and theories described in the legendary A Brief History of Time. The authors, who have changed a lot in astrophysics, 17 years later look at age-old questions with new eyes: about the nature of space and time, the role of God in the creation of the world, about the past and future of the Universe. The book makes clear the complex puzzles and sharp contradictions that the cutting edge of science about the Universe is trying to resolve.
