The Illustrated a Brief History of Time and the Universe in a Nutshell

Meer over het boek

Stephen Hawking, regarded as one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists since Einstein, presents a classic study of cosmology in A Brief History of Time, featuring chapters on black holes, wormholes, time travel, the expanding universe, the uncertainty principle, Einstein's theories of relativity, elementary particles, and the origin and fate of the universe. Enhanced with satellite images and photographs made possible by the Hubble Space Telescope, this book provides the fascinating story of the ongoing search for the secrets at the heart of space and time. The Universe in a Nutshell offers a cutting-edge look at theoretical physics and the search for the elusive "Theory of Everything" that lies at the heart of the cosmos. In his accessible and often playful style, Hawking guides readers through topics such as supergravity, supersymmetry, quantum theory, M-theory, holography, and duality.
