A Brief History of Time

Stephen Hawking’s landmark popular science work explores the fundamental questions of cosmology, from the origin of the universe to the nature of black holes. Written for a general audience, the book navigates complex concepts such as the Big Bang, the expansion of space, and the arrow of time, aiming to make the cutting-edge physics of the late 20th century accessible to non-specialists. The text balances rigorous scientific explanation with a broader philosophical inquiry into the limits of human knowledge and the search for a unified theory of everything.
