Purchase options and add-ons

Seven lectures by the brilliant theoretical physicist have been compiled into this book to try to explain to the common man, the complex problems of mathematics and the question that has been gripped everyone all for centuries, the theory of existence. Undeniably intelligent, witty and childlike in his explanations, the narrator describes every detail about the beginning of the universe. He describes what a theory that can state the initiation of everything would encompass. Ideologies about the universe by Aristotle, Augustine, Hubble, Newton and Einstein have all been briefly introduced to the reader. Black holes and Big Bang has been explained in an unsophisticated manner for anyone to understand. All these events and individual theories may be strung together to create a theory of the origin of everything and the author strongly believes that the origin might not necessarily be from a singular event. He advocates the idea of a multi-dimensional origin with a no-boundary condition to remain true to the theories of modern physics and quantum physics. The book provides a clear view of the world through Stephen’s mind where he respectfully dismisses the belief that the Universe conforms by a supernatural and all-powerful entity. About the Author Stephen Hawking: An English cosmologist, theoretical physicist, author as well as the Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology under the University of Cambridge, Stephen Hawking is a scholar with more than a dozen of honorary degrees. In was in 1963 that Stephen Hawking contracted a rare motor neuron disorder which gave him just two years to live, yet he went to Cambridge to become what he is today.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Stephen Hawking's ability to make science understandable and compelling to a lay audience was established with the publication of his first book, A Brief History of Time, which has sold nearly 10 million copies in 40 languages. Hawking has authored or participated in the creation of numerous other popular science books, including The Universe in a Nutshell, A Briefer History of Time, On the Shoulders of Giants, The Illustrated On the Shoulders of Giants, and George's Secret Key to the Universe.

(Stephen William Hawking; Oxford, Reino Unido, 8 de Enero de 1942 - Cambridge, 14 de marzo de 2018) Físico teórico británico. A pesar de sus discapacidades físicas y de las progresivas limitaciones impuestas por la enfermedad degenerativa que padecía, Stephen William Hawking es probablemente el físico más conocido entre el gran público desde los tiempos de Einstein. Luchador y triunfador, a lo largo de toda su vida logró sortear la inmensidad de impedimentos que le planteó el mal de Lou Gehrig, una esclerosis lateral amiotrófica que le aquejaba desde que tenía 20 años. Hawking es, sin duda, un ejemplo particular de vitalidad y resistencia frente al infortunio del destino.

Fue miembro de la Real Sociedad de Londres, de la Academia Pontificia de las Ciencias y de la Academia Nacional de Ciencias de Estados Unidos. Fue titular de la Cátedra Lucasiana de Matemáticas (Lucasian Chair of Mathematics) de la Universidad de Cambridge desde 1979 hasta su jubilación en 2009. Entre las numerosas distinciones que le han sido concedidas, Hawking ha sido honrado con doce doctorados honoris causa y ha sido galardonado con la Orden del Imperio Británico (grado CBE) en 1982, el Premio Príncipe de Asturias de la Concordia en 1989, la Medalla Copley en 2006, la Medalla de la Libertad en 2009 y el Premio Fundación BBVA Fronteras del Conocimiento en 2015.

Alcanzó éxitos de ventas con sus trabajos divulgativos sobre Ciencia, en los que discute sobre sus propias teorías y la cosmología en general; estos incluyen A Brief History of Time, que estuvo en la lista de best-sellers del The Sunday Times británico durante 237 semanas.

La Editorial Alvi Books le dedicó, como tributo y reconocimiento, este espacio en Amazon en 2016.

A Profound Journey into the Cosmos: The Theory of Everything
Hawking's ability to convey complex scientific concepts in a manner accessible to both experts and laypersons alike is truly remarkable. With a rare talent for clear and concise explanations, he effortlessly guides readers through the most profound theories and discoveries in physics, including general relativity, quantum mechanics, black holes, and the elusive quest for a unified theory.What sets The Theory of Everything apart is its ability to evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity about the universe. Through Hawking's words, we are transported on an intellectual voyage that challenges our preconceived notions and invites us to expand our understanding of reality. It is an enlightening experience that makes us question our place in the cosmos and encourages us to ponder the grandest questions of existence.The prose in The Theory of Everything is beautifully crafted, blending scientific rigor with a captivating narrative. Hawking's distinctive voice shines through the pages, infused with his dry wit and infectious enthusiasm for unraveling the mysteries of the universe. The book strikes a perfect balance between scientific rigor and engaging storytelling, making it an absolute joy to read.

Hawking gives a complete vision of the world, its beginnings, and the fundamental laws that govern it, while exploring complex scientific subjects in a strikingly approachable manner. His ability to clarify complex theories makes this book a treasure mine for both physics enthusiasts and newcomers.
While the book is a little difficult in some areas because to the complex subject matter, Hawking's eloquence and clarity show through, guaranteeing an enjoyable read. The book's worth greatly outweighs its price, providing a fascinating experience that digs into the mysteries of the universe. "The Theory of Everything" is an essential addition to the library of anybody interested in the secrets of the cosmos.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a more in-depth understanding of the world without sacrificing quality or depth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Stephen Hawking's essays on astronomy and cosmology.
Reviewed in the United States on 25 May 2023

I have always been fascinated with everything to do with astronomy, cosmology, quantum physics and anything to do with time and the universe. This is why when I saw this 176-page hardcover book (The theory of everything: The origin and fate of the universe by Stephen w. Hawking) I decided to purchase it.

I had read his book “A brief history of time” many years ago but I had not read this book which was published back in 2002. This volume has seven lectures Stephen Hawking made over the years. They include “Ideas about the universe, the expanding universe, black holes, black holes ain’t so black, the origin and fate of the universe, the direction of time and the theory of everything.”

I found this book to be very interesting and informative even though I have read his theories in other publication over the years. If you are curious about how this great scientist views some of the mysteries of the cosmos you should check out this book. Still a great read even though it was published more than twenty years ago.
Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: The Samurai Soul: An old warrior’s poetic tribute to warriors).

O livro é uma coletânea de palestras ministradas por Stephen Hawking. Ele, de forma muito didática, apresenta teorias ligadas às origens do universo desde o Big Bang até o desenvolvimento de suas teorias sobre os buracos negros. Com introdução de Marcelo Gleiser, é um livro imperdível para os interessados nos estudos cosmológicos.

Reviewed in Germany on 13 January 2021

First of all: The book is a great read, but my 1 star rating is aiming at the quality of the book, not at the content.

When I got the book it was brand new and still shrink-wrapped. Nevertheless the cover just fell of as soon as I opened the book for the very first time. Next thing is, that there are plenty of missprints, sometimes there is even glue and dirt between some pages.
Once I was done reading it, the book fell off completely and I decided to just dump it...

IMO that's unacceptable for a 20€ book!
