The Theory of Everything: The Origin and Fate of the Universe

Really informative

The Theory of Everything feels like a quiet invitation into the mind of someone who spent a lifetime asking the biggest questions of the universe. It carries the weight of years of knowledge, yet the way Hawking explains things feels surprisingly gentle and approachable. Instead of satisfying your curiosity, this book multiplies it. The more you read, the stronger the urge to understand, question, and explore becomes. What I liked most is that this book doesn’t make you feel small for not knowing enough. If you’re someone who is curious about science but also slightly intimidated by it, this is a safe and beautiful place to begin. The fear slowly fades, and curiosity takes its place. For readers from a non-science background, a few sections may take re-reading, but that effort feels rewarding rather than exhausting. Talking about the physical quality of the book, it is up to the mark considering the price it is being sold at. The overall build feels decent and readable for regular use. This isn’t just a book about physics or the universe — it quietly reshapes the way you look at questions themselves. And once that shift happens, there’s no going back.

Bought it as a gift. Smaller in size than expected

First of all: The book is a great read, but my 1 star rating is aiming at the quality of the book, not at the content. When I got the book it was brand new and still shrink-wrapped. Nevertheless the cover just fell of as soon as I opened the book for the very first time. Next thing is, that there are plenty of missprints, sometimes there is even glue and dirt between some pages. Once I was done reading it, the book fell off completely and I decided to just dump it... IMO that's unacceptable for a 20€ book!

I have always been fascinated with everything to do with astronomy, cosmology, quantum physics and anything to do with time and the universe. This is why when I saw this 176-page hardcover book (The theory of everything: The origin and fate of the universe by Stephen w. Hawking) I decided to purchase it. I had read his book “A brief history of time” many years ago but I had not read this book which was published back in 2002. This volume has seven lectures Stephen Hawking made over the years. They include “Ideas about the universe, the expanding universe, black holes, black holes ain’t so black, the origin and fate of the universe, the direction of time and the theory of everything.” I found this book to be very interesting and informative even though I have read his theories in other publication over the years. If you are curious about how this great scientist views some of the mysteries of the cosmos you should check out this book. Still a great read even though it was published more than twenty years ago. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: The Samurai Soul: An old warrior’s poetic tribute to warriors).
