Here's part of the content - you would like to know it all? Delve into this book today!..... : Hawking has achieved success with works of popular science in which he discusses his own theories and cosmology in general; his A Brief History of Time stayed on the British Sunday Times best-sellers list for a record-breaking 237 weeks.

...His physics tutor, Robert Berman, later said It was only necessary for him to know that something could be done, and he could do it without looking to see how other people did it. . . . his mind was completely different from all of his contemporaries.

... Along with Thomas Hertog at CERN, in 2006 Hawking proposed a theory of top-down cosmology, which says that the universe had no unique initial state, therefore, it is inappropriate for physicists to attempt to formulate a theory that predicts the universe's current configuration from one particular initial state.

...Preskill argued the opposite, that since quantum mechanics suggests that the information emitted by a black hole relates to information that fell in at an earlier time, the concept of black holes given by general relativity must be modified in some way.


There is absolutely nothing that isn't thoroughly covered in the book. It is straightforward, and does an excellent job of explaining all about Stephen Hawking in key topics and material. There is no reason to invest in any other materials to learn about Stephen Hawking. You'll understand it all.
