The Universe in a Nutshell (Stephen Hawking)

*The Universe in a Nutshell* by Stephen Hawking explores the nature of the universe, combining scientific theories like quantum mechanics and relativity to explain how space, time, and matter interrelate. Hawking discusses concepts such as black holes, the Big Bang, and the possibility of multiple universes, all while highlighting the quest for a unified "Theory of Everything" that explains all physical laws. The book aims to make these complex ideas accessible, illustrating how understanding the universe's origins and structure deepens our appreciation of the cosmos and our place within it.
