A Brief History of Time (book)

"A Brief History of Time," written by physicist Stephen Hawking, explores fundamental concepts of the universe, including black holes, the Big Bang, and time itself. Hawking aims to make complex ideas in cosmology accessible to a broader audience, discussing how modern physics seeks to understand the universe's origins and structure. He contrasts classical physics with revolutionary theories like relativity and quantum mechanics. The book emphasizes the quest for a unified theory to explain everything from the smallest particles to the vast cosmos, while contemplating the nature of time and humanity's place within it.
