About this ebook
Like prior editions of the book - but even more so - A Briefer History of Time will guide non-scientists everywhere in the ongoing search for the tantalizing secrets at the heart of time and space . . .
This is Stephen Hawking's somewhat 'briefer' account of his up-to-date and most recent scientific observations and findings. A great companion to his original worldwide bestseller, A Brief History of Time.
From curved space to quantum theory, the authors have expanded on areas of special interest and recent progress, such as developments in string theory and exciting progress in the search for a force of complete, unified theory of all the forces of physics.
Thirty-eight full-colour illustrations enhance the text and make A Briefer History of Time an exhilarating addition in its own right to the literature of science.

This book is like a mashup and patchwork of many ideas of scientists and concepts which will lead to your eternal satisfaction. The concepts in this book is easily understandable to a person studying high school.... which means that the language is fluent and very much easy to understand. It felt like a feast, reading this book. This book is extremely awesome!!

You sit on a chair with this book and it warps around the universe and you'll never see the same world again. Fasten your seat belt.
