Hawking Wrote The Famous Book A Brief History Of Time

Hawking's book "A Brief History of Time" was released in 1988. He covers a variety of cosmological topics in it, such as the big bang, black holes, and light cones. The book was written in plain English to enable the common reader to understand his concepts.

"A Brief History of Time", one of the major accomplishments of Stephen Hawking, defied all those assumptions after several years and numerous revisions. The initial print run was quickly consumed in the United States, and soon the 200+ page description of the creation and ultimate destiny of the cosmos was flying off the shelves everywhere. It had a record-breaking 237 weeks on the Times of London bestseller list and 147 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. More than 25 million copies of the bestseller were sold.

Hawking discusses the structure, origin, development, and ultimate fate of the Universe—a topic of study for astronomy and modern physics—in "A Brief History of Time" in straightforward words. He discusses fundamental ideas like space and time, the fundamental elements of the universe (such quarks), and the fundamental forces that control it (such as gravity). He discusses cosmic events like the Big Bang and black holes in his writings. He talks about the two main theories that modern scientists employ to explain the universe: general relativity and quantum mechanics. The search for a unifying theory that coherently describes everything in the Universe is the subject of his final discussion.
