The Universe Is In A Walnut Shell, Paperback Book, By: Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking's remarkable book ABrief History of Time - which has sold several million copies - brought the ideas of this brilliant theoretical physicist to readers around the world. Because of the difficulty of reading the book, Hawking returned with another book that complements the first and is full of illustrations in which he reveals the secrets of the major scientific developments that have been achieved since the publication of that famous book. In this book, Hawking takes us to the very top of theoretical physics - where truth is often stranger than fiction - to explain the principles that govern our world in simple, general terms. Hawking invites us to accompany him on his extraordinary journey through space-time. Colorful illustrations in the book help simplify this journey into a wonderland; where particles, sheets, and strings move in eleven dimensions; Where black holes evaporate and disappear, taking their secrets with them; Whereas the original cosmic seed from which our universe arose was still a small walnut.
