In 1988, Professor Stephen Hawking wrote "A Brief History of Time" in which he took us on a journey through classical physics, Einstein's theory of relativity, quantum physics and string theory in order to explain the universe that we live in. This book presents an account of Hawking's quest to fuse[...]

Provides an expansion on the great subjects of the original. This book has subjects of wide interest been given entire chapters of their own, including relativity, curved space, and quantum theory. The CD Rom of full-colour illustrations is an addition in its own right to the literature of science.[...]

Boka forteller om livet til vitenskapsmannen Stephen Hawking. Boka gir ett innblikk i både privatlivet til Hawking, og i hans karriere som forsker innenfor teoretisk fysikk og astrofysikk. Den setter vitenskapen inn i en menneskelig sammenheng, og viser hvordan vitenskap og liv er uløselig knytta [...]

Miksi maailmankaikkeus on olemassa? Miksi juuri tietyt luonnonlait ovat voimassa? Minkä vuoksi maapallolle on kehittynyt elämää? Ennen kaikkea - onko olemassa teoria, joka yhtenäisesti selittäisi tämän kaiken?Yli kaksikymmentä vuotta Ajan lyhyen historian jälkeen Stephen Hawking hahmottele[...]

Stephen Hawking (s. 1942) on vuosisatamme merkittävimpiä tiedemiehiä. Tässä pääteoksessaan hän kertoo, miten nykyinen maailmankuvamme on kehittynyt aiempien käsitysten pohjalta yhä täydellisemmäksi. Hawking johdattelee lukijan syvän avaruuden kaukaisiin galakseihin ja mustiin aukkoihin.[...]

It has become an international publishing phenomenon, translated into forty languages and selling over nine million copies. The book was on the c[...]

How could quantum gravity, a theory that could explain the earlier moments of the big bang and the physics of the enigmatic objects known as black holes, be constructed? Why does our patch of the universe look just as Einstein predicted, with no hint of quantum effects in sight? This book addresses [...]
