BRIAN & ANGELA

A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME ~ STEPHEN HAWKING (1988)

 

 

STEPHEN\'S CHAPTERS ARE A DECALOGUE

 

Our picture of the Universe

Space & Time ~ Expanding Universe

The Uncertainty Principle

Fundamental Particles ~ Forces of Nature

Black Holes ~ They ain\'t so Black !

Origin & Fate of the Universe

The Arrow of Time

The unification of Physics

Conclusion

Einstein ~ Galileo ~ Newton !

 

STEPHEN\'S  CONCLUSIONS ARE SPIRITUAL !

 

However if we discover A Complete Theory

It should be understandable ~ in broad terms

By EVERYONE !  Not just a few Scientists !

Then we shall ALL ~ Philosophers ~ Scientists

And  EVERYBODY ~ be able to participate

In the question of WHY ~ We and the Universe exist !

If we find the answer to that ~ It would be 

The ultimate triumph of Human Reason

For then we would know THE MIND OF GOD ~ AMEN !

 

Thanks for reading ~ comments welcome ~ Yours BRIAN

 

I was fortunate because when I read Stephen\'s book

in the 1990\'s  (my Dad had a copy) I was studying 

Maths ~ Physics ~ Chemistry & Computing @  Advanced

Level so most of it made sense to me !

 

Please obtain a copy and read it ! It\'s very therapeutic !
