What’s it about?

There are few fields of study as daunting as the discipline known as cosmology. While other fields of study analyze a specific aspect of physics, cosmology attempts to explain the entire universe. As you can imagine, this is no small feat. To even begin to describe the universe would require collaboration between every discipline in physics, and a knowledge of the history of our very existence.

This isn’t a task that one person can achieve in their lifetime. Generations of brilliant minds would have to dedicate their lives to multiple fields of study, creating theories about the intricate workings of our universe. It’s those theories and minds that are on display in Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time. Here, Hawking explains some of the fundamental and most-famous theories and ideas in cosmology, from spacetime to energy particles, from quantum mechanics to black holes.

Of course, theories aren’t built overnight, and even the most brilliant minds in history may not be correct the first time. To appreciate our conclusions, we first need to see how we came to those conclusions, what minds worked on getting us there,
