A Brief History of Time: From Big Bang to Black Holes

These are just some of the questions considered in an internationally acclaimed masterpiece by one of the world's greatest thinkers. It begins by reviewing the great theories of the cosmos, from Newton to Einstein, before delving into the secrets which still lie at the heart of space and time, from the big bang to black holes, via spiral galaxies and strong theory. To this day A Brief History of Time remains a staple of the scientific canon, and its succinct and clear language continues to introduce millions to the universe and its wonders.

I did struggle somewhere midway when I understood the least. But I'm glad I persevered. Although I barely retained any of what was said, I still like to listen about those concepts.
It's not the author's fault, though I could've used a bit more metaphors to make it stick. [a:Neil deGrasse Tyson|12855|Neil deGrasse Tyson|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1662154804p2/12855.jpg] is definitely more my speed.
You have to appreciate Hawking's dad jokes though.
