The Theory of Everything

"The Theory of Everything" — is the story of the Universe told by Stephen Hawking in a familiar — clear and witty — manner, complemented by images from the Hubble Space Telescope. Illustrations and diagrams created specifically for this book clarify the theories and concepts that scientists at the forefront of space science grapple with every day. The book brings together seven lectures dedicated to Earth, the history of the Universe, the Big Bang, black holes, and string theory. However, with particular enthusiasm, Stephen Hawking discusses the ongoing search for the theory of everything, the emergence of which, in the author's opinion, will mark the triumph of human reason. A book for everyone who, gazing at the night sky, has wondered what lies in its inky blue depths.
