Hawking does a fantastic job of breaking down complex subjects into easy to understand analogies. That said, there are some things that are still very difficult to fully grasp without some of the technical knowledge behind the concepts. But the vast majority of the book is surprisingly easy to understand and it's definitely worth reading.

Very well written book. Even if most of it went over my head, the desire for all men to learn of what modern science has unveiled is astounding. I often found the comparison/contrasting between the amount of times the word "million" was said to how many people were awarded a prize of sorts to be hilarious. Such a vast universe and we give out little metals for "understanding" a little bit more of the tapestry.

In "A Brief History of Time," Stephen Hawking embarks upon a profound intellectual odyssey, akin to the philosophical inquiries. With remarkable lucidity and erudition, Hawking unravels the enigmatic tapestry of the cosmos, elucidating complex theories of space, time, and the fundamental forces that govern our universe.
Much like the psychological intricacies I explored in my narratives, Hawking navigates the intricate realms of theoretical physics, inviting readers to contemplate the deepest mysteries of existence. His ability to distill complex scientific concepts into accessible prose, reminiscent of my own literary style, makes this book an intellectual masterpiece that transcends the boundaries of academia.
"A Brief History of Time" stands as a testament to the enduring power of scientific inquiry and its capacity to inspire profound philosophical reflection. It is a work of exceptional insight and intellectual gravitas that continues to ignite the curiosity and imagination of readers worldwide.

Thanks Jasper voor het boek! Zeer interessant, maar ga het later nogmaals lezen omdat het toch vrij complexe materie is.

Like the universe, a bit lumpy but that's just my perception. Some concepts were easily understood while others were illustrated by analogies but the analogies seemed like a bit of a stretch, sometimes almost a circular argument.
I'm sure those bits are just my inability to put 2 and 2 together but I suspect that some of those theories are just too complicated to explain in such a short book.
I'll need to read it again. I'll see you 5 days ago.

This book is all you need, if you want the universe in a nutshell. Hawking is a genius story teller. It is a truly enjoyable book, as it explains everything in your layman's language. Kudos to Stephen Hawking for this book.
