A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes is a book on theoretical cosmology by English physicist Stephen Hawking. It was first published in 1988. Hawking wrote the book for readers who had no prior knowledge of physics and people who are interested in learning something new about interesting subjects. In A Brief History of Time, Hawking writes in non-technical terms about the structure, origin, development and eventual fate of the Universe, which is the object of study of astronomy and modern physics. He talks about basic concepts like space and time, basic building blocks that make up the Universe (such as quarks) and the fundamental forces that govern it (such as gravity). He writes about cosmological phenomena such as the Big Bang and black holes. He discusses two major theories, general relativity and quantum mechanics, that modern scientists use to describe the Universe. Finally, he …

Un libro che ha segnato molte carriere (inclusa la mia)

5 stars

Stephen Hawking, grazie al suo lavoro di ricerca e ai suoi libri divulgativi, ha segnato la carriera di molti giovani fisici, indipendentemente dal campo in cui hanno poi scelto di lavorare. Nella sua vasta produzione, il libro che più di tutti ha influenzato le scelte di molti studenti di fisica è stato indubbiamente Dal Big Bang ai buchi neri. Il libro tocca vari temi, tutti connessi tra loro e raccontati nell’ottica del cosmologo moderno, che prova ad applicare la meccanica quantistica per risolvere i misteri dell'universo. La natura dello spazio e del tempo (che verrà successivamente approfondita ne L'universo in un guscio di noce, ritenuto una sorta di seguito di questo primo libro divulgativo), l'espansione dell'universo si uniscono insieme con gli ingredienti della meccanica quantistica nelle speculazioni su quegli strani oggetti cosmici noti come buchi neri.

Got close and then stopped listening for a couple weeks. When I came back, it was incomprehensible to be because I had forgotten most of the essential foundation laid by the rest of the book :(

Making science accessible to everyone! This really inspired me to love science, or maybe I already loved science.
