In this work, Stephen Hawking discusses the breakthroughs in physics theory that have occurred since the publication of A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME. With a child's sense of wonder throughout, he takes readers along on his search for the ultimate "theory of everything" at the heart of the cosmos, discussing complex questions about quantum physics in a ...
"The Theory of Everything" is a unique opportunity to explore the cosmos with the greatest mind since Einstein. Based on a series of lectures given at Cambridge University, Professor Hawking's work introduced "the history of ideas about the universe" as well as today's most important scientific theories about time, space, and the cosmos in a clear ...
Hawking reviews the great theories of the cosmos and all the puzzles, paradoxes, and contradictions still unresolved. He explains Galileo's and Newton's discoveries and takes the reader through Einstein's general theory of relativity and on to quantum mechanics. Finally, he explores the worldwide effort to combine the two into a single quantum ...
This volume reports on where the science of black holes, gravitational waves, and time travel will likely lead, as reported by spacetime's most important theoreticians and observers. Here are six essays by those who walk that line, moving ever further out in discovering the patterns of nature.
To commemorate the 300th anniversary of the publication of Isaac Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, Stephen Hawking and Werner Israel have assembled a series of unique review papers by many of the world's foremost researchers in cosmology, relativity and particle physics. The resulting volume reflects the significant and ...
