Stephen Hawking
À propos de cet audio
In physicist Stephen Hawking's brilliant opus, A Brief History of Time, he presented us with a bold new look at our universe, how it began, and how our old views of physics and tired theories about the creation of the universe were no longer relevant. In other words, Hawking gave us a new look at our world, our universe, and ourselves.
Now, Hawking presents an even more comprehensive look at our universe, its creation, and how we see ourselves within it. Imagine sitting in a comfortable room listening to Hawking discuss his latest theories and place them in historical context with science's other great achievements--it would be like hearing Christopher Columbus deliver the news about the new world.
Hawking presents a series of seven lectures in which he describes, more clearly than ever, the history of the universe as we know it. He begins with the history of ideas about the universe, from Aristotle's idea that the Earth is round to Hubble's discovery two millennium later that our universe is growing.
Using this history as a launching pad, Hawking takes us on a fascinating journey through the telescopic lens of modern physics to gain a new glimpse of the universe--the nature of black holes, the space-time continuum, and new information about the origin of the universe. He uses this scientific basis to come up with a "unified theory of everything" that the author claims will be "the ultimate triumph of human reason."

This is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. This narrative history employs the methods of "history from beneath" - literature, epic traditions, private letters, and accounts - to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled.

How can we make intelligent decisions about our increasingly technology-driven lives if we don’t understand the difference between the myths of pseudoscience and the testable hypotheses of science? Pulitzer Prize-winning author and distinguished astronomer Carl Sagan argues that scientific thinking is critical not only to the pursuit of truth but to the very well-being of our democratic institutions.

In The Quantum Universe, Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw approach the world of quantum mechanics in the same way they did in Why Does E=mc2? and make fundamental scientific principles accessible - and fascinating - to everyone.The subatomic realm has a reputation for weirdness, spawning any number of profound misunderstandings, journeys into Eastern mysticism, and woolly pronouncements on the interconnectedness of all things. Cox and Forshaw's contention? There is no need for quantum mechanics to be viewed this way.

Histoire
A mesmerizing, behind-the-scenes business thriller that chronicles how Sega, a small, scrappy gaming company led by an unlikely visionary and a team of rebels, took on the juggernaut Nintendo and revolutionized the video-game industry. In 1990, Nintendo had a virtual monopoly on the video-game industry. Sega, on the other hand, was just a faltering arcade company with big aspirations and even bigger personalities. But all that would change with the arrival of Tom Kalinske, a former Mattel executive who knew nothing about video games and everything about fighting uphill battles.

Great read but not for everyone
This is an incredible read and such a good way of breaking down big concepts into understandable information. As someone who does not have a science background I did find myself having to pause and YouTube a lot of the concepts to get a better understanding. This process of learning was enjoyable for me and not frustrating but I can see how it could be frustrating for some people.
Overall, great book. You’re not going to walk away from it understanding everything he says 100% but you will definitely have a better understanding and a fresh perspective on the universe.

Listen, repeat
My last brush with physics was in high school and was very, very basic. I have often wanted to read or listen to a book by Stephen Hawking but always gave up before I started. I would read reviews that indicated that without a good science background, this or that book would be difficult or frustrating. "The Theory of Everything" seemed less intimidating despite the title. First, it is short. Second, the reviews seemed to lean towards this being a manageable book for someone without a science background. I found the first couple of lectures, there are seven lectures in total, to actually be quite understandable and very interesting. At some point in lecture 3, I stopped and restarted the book as I found myself losing the plot. My second go around got me into lecture 4 before I felt understanding slipping away. At that point I decided to power through until the end. What I discovered is that with each lecture I would ride a wave of understanding until I hit the crest of the wave from where I would drop into the murky depths of confusion. Despite this rollercoaster ride, in the end I did enjoy this book which I am determined to listen to again and again until I "get it". Michael York does a superb job of narration. The book itself is really well written and even made me laugh a few times. Finally, the ending almost made me restart the book right away but I have decided to let what I have heard percolate for a while before I listen again. I would recommend this book to anyone curious about physics, the universe and everything.
