Summary
Now, Hawking presents an even more comprehensive look at our universe, its creation, and how we see ourselves within it. Imagine sitting in a comfortable room listening to Hawking discuss his latest theories and place them in historical context with science's other great achievements--it would be like hearing Christopher Columbus deliver the news about the new world.
Hawking presents a series of seven lectures in which he describes, more clearly than ever, the history of the universe as we know it. He begins with the history of ideas about the universe, from Aristotle's idea that the Earth is round to Hubble's discovery two millennium later that our universe is growing.
Using this history as a launching pad, Hawking takes us on a fascinating journey through the telescopic lens of modern physics to gain a new glimpse of the universe--the nature of black holes, the space-time continuum, and new information about the origin of the universe. He uses this scientific basis to come up with a "unified theory of everything" that the author claims will be "the ultimate triumph of human reason."

There is a lot to know in the unknown. Now I know I know even less than before.

S.H..Legend..Thank God for science LOL. Brilliant
Have enjoyed all of the books from Stephen Hawking, this one is fantastic, listen and learn but be prepared to have your mind shaken and filled with more questions.

Interesting book, albeit at times complex.
A very interesting and well structured audiobook. Perhaps owing to my basic understand of modern day physics, I found some chapters quite complex, but nonetheless I will be following it up with A Briefer History Of Time.

interesting ... only few queries
an interesting subject and and a capable attempt to simply a voluminous field of research. sort of forces you to reconsider our place and priorities in life. i shall have to listen to it again and research topics since to me some of the examples used to explain some points proved incoherent. worth reading nonetheless

Repeated information
This book repeats almost word for word his last book I listened to but was much shorter and still cost a credit.

Very interesting
Really enjoyed this book, I found it very interesting and even from someone who knows very little about this subject I could follow along just about, the readers voice is a treat to listen to also, although I slightly wish it had an option for Steven’s voice also 😂 I’m sure he would laugh at that as he had a great sense of humour. Definitely worth a listen 🎧

Genius
Totally absorbing, relatively easy to understand, mostly! Have read three times now, beginning to sink in.

More than I can understand
I have a fair (by all means average) understanding of the concepts discussed however it was largely easy to follow and very interesting. Would recommend to anyone with an interest in physics, science and the universe!

Good but hard going.
Really interesting listening but at times lost me with theories. I did learn quite a bit & he was certainly a very clever man.
