Man has always wanted answers to the big questions — Where did we come from? How did the universe evolve? What is the design and meaning behind it? Science fiction has managed to answer them fairly, but real science can be far stranger and much more satisfying.
As a scientist deeply fascinated about physics, cosmology, the universe, and the future of humanity, Stephen Hawking has questioned everything with an unwavering mind and researched to find solutions. He believed that the problem is most people think that real science is too complicated to understand, but the truth is, spending committed time and appreciating the basic ideas will give a clear understanding of the laws of nature.
Through this book, Hawking tries to expand our understanding of the universe and its phenomenon. Questions such as whether there is a god, whether or not the future can be predicted, time travel be made possible, and whether or not we will be outsmarted by artificial intelligence, and many such unanswered theories have been explained. As human kind faces catastrophic changes, the mysteries relating to its development have been unravelled in this book.
