Loved each and every part of this book.
I will definitely recommend this book to non fiction, science lovers. Your Rating:. Biography Born in , Stephen W. Hawking is the foremost theoretical physicist of his generation. After gaining his Ph. These results indicated it was necessary to unify General Relativity with Quantum Theory, the other great scientific development of the first half of the 20th Century.
In spite of being severely disabled by Motor Neurone Disease, he is highly active in physics, writing, and public life. His two major books available on audio, A Brief History Of Time and The Theory of Everything have remained highly popular all over the world and are now classic best-sellers. Anyone interested in the universe, cosmos, and how it all began can listen to them: no previous knowledge in this field is required to enjoy these audio books.
This landmark book on audio is for those of us who prefer words to equations; this is the story of the ultimate quest for knowledge, the ongoing search for the secrets at the heart of time and space. And you may want to check out the sequel to that book which attempts to clarify Hawking's ideas even further in A Briefer History of Time.
The second is The Theory of Everything , in which Hawking brings listeners to the cutting edge of theoretical physics. It is in this realm that truth is often stranger than fiction. Nevertheless, Hawking is tireless in making the principles that control the universe interesting and understandable to everyone. All of these audio books are great introductions to not only Hawking's theories, but also theoretical physics in general.
He attained his PhD in Hawking made his PhD thesis available online in and he went on to forge new roads into the understanding of the universe in the decades since. As the disease spread, Hawking became less mobile and began using a wheelchair. Talking grew more challenging and, in , an emergency tracheotomy caused his total loss of speech. A speech-generating device constructed at Cambridge, combined with a software program, served as his electronic voice, allowing Hawking to select his words by moving the muscles in his cheek.
Just before his diagnosis, Hawking met Jane Wilde, and the two were married in The couple had three children before separating.
Hawking remarried in but divorced in Hawking continued at Cambridge after his graduation, serving as a research fellow and later as a professional fellow. In , he was inducted into the Royal Society, a worldwide fellowship of scientists. In , he was appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge, the most famous academic chair in the world the second holder was Sir Isaac Newton , also a member of the Royal Society.
Over the course of his career, Hawking studied the basic laws governing the universe. He proposed that, since the universe boasts a beginning — the Big Bang — it likely will have an ending. Working with fellow cosmologist Roger Penrose, he demonstrated that Albert Einstein 's Theory of General Relativity suggests that space and time began at the birth of the universe and ends within black holes, which implies that Einstein's theory and quantum theory must be united.
Using the two theories together, Hawking also determined that black holes are not totally dark but instead emit radiation. He predicted that, following the Big Bang, black holes as tiny as protons were created, governed by both general relativity and quantum mechanics.

His theory removed the existence of an "event horizon," the point where nothing can escape. Instead, he proposed that there would be an "apparent horizon" that would alter according to quantum changes within the black hole.
But the theory has proven to be controversial. Related: Portrait of genius: Stephen Hawking exhibit photos.
