A Briefer History of Time

    A Briefer History of Time 

A short book on the theory of the universe. I know it sounds crazy but if you take a deeper look into it you will understand what I am talking about. In the book a Briefer Time of History by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow it talks about many theories and talks all about physics and astronomy and about all of the discoveries that people have come across the years of that have been created of thousands of years.For each chapter it talks about different exciting  theories that have been developed and theories that are still trying to be proved to this day. If you are interested in how the universe works but you haven't really studied astronomy or physics that much this book would be great for you. Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow talk about advanced theories for example he explained quantum physics in one chapter of the book. One of the many interesting chapters that has really interested me was the theory about black holes. The chapter really got me interested into black holes and some theories connect to each other. Through out the whole book  almost every chapter draws you in and before you know it you've finished the book with vast more amounts of knowledge.

I will admit some theories will not come to you for example in the third chapter the writers talks about quantum physics, this is not a easy theory to understand so don't expect every theory to be a walk in the park to understand. The book holds very detailed magnificent illustrations some almost look real. This book is one of a kind it even tells you about sciences to come in the future and some science that we can only imagine like traveling at the speed of light (also known as time traveling). A Briefer History of Time contains 12 chapters with each chapter holding about 5-7 pages per chapter. Stephen Hawking has another book similar to this one called a Brief History of Time but clearly labeled on the cover A Briefer History of time is more concise and it has all of the latest research. I feel like if you've always had questions about the universe, space, time, physics that no one could answer this book would be a perfect fit for you, take a chance to learn about what a worm hole really is, or what quantum gravity is. When it comes to knowing the facts this book has them from theories you think you know like the back for hands for theories, that you have never even heard of, take a chance and explore the unknown.

The Grand Design By Stephen Hawking

The Book Cover

Stephen Hawking the Author

This book is a great book if you  want to get a overview of our cosmos. It goes over things like string theory quantum theory and the future of our planet. The first chapter goes over basically an overview of our book. I really like Stephen Hawkings writing style because it is easy to  understand yet incredibly interesting. He also makes you want to delve deeper into the subjects he talks about like string theory and quantum theory. It is also a very slim book and I wish in order to make this book even easier to understand he could expand more on some of the more complex topics. I also think that this book is a very good starting place for someone who wants to get started in physics. Quantum theory is basically the theory that electrons and such are almost everywhere at the same time. This books talks extensively about that. Something else it talks about that I wish it would talk about a little bit more is the theory of relativity. This I did not understand as well as I wanted to be able to. Stephen Hawking the author is an amazing person actually he has been diagnosed with ALS. He has been very revolutionary in the world of physics. In conclusion if you are interested in getting into the world of physics and are very interested in this then this is a great place to start. All in all the Grand Design amazingly describes our cosmos and the future and the past. It also discribes how it was formed. Something that I found very interesting was how he explained the history of the people on Earth and how some of the inhabitants were quite advanced in there thinking of the cosmos. Although there were some who had rather far fetched beliefs. This book is amazing if you want to learn anything and everything about whats outside of our world.
