Partly this went over my head, but overall I found this a fascinating insight into the latest scientific knowledge about our world and the laws that govern it.
My least favorite physics related book. I re-read it three months later after having read it thinking I must have missed something in my first reading. I did not. I was greatly disappointed each time I read it, very flat ending.
Stephen Hawking is smarter than I am. That's no big feat because two of my cats are smarter than I am. The other cat is a certifiable idiot. But Hawking is way smarter than I am. The Grand Design is Hawking's explanation, more or less, about why the universe is the way it is. The answer comes down t...
Hawking is a terrific self-promoter, and he managed to grab a lot of headlines for this book by claiming he'd killed God or whatever, but the truth is there's very little in this book that Brian Greene didn't cover - and cover better - ten years ago. In fact, a lot of this is stuff Hawking himself ...
Overall, The Grand Design was pretty bleak and uninspiring. I think the thing that disappointed me most was the lack of anything new. Several major parts of the big chapters are copied word for word from Hawking's earlier A Brief History of Time and the information on M-Theory leaves a lot to be des...
Too basic, this book is only for people who know absolutely nothing about the subject. Even then, there are better books to read that explain far more. Hawking fails to clearly define M-theory, instead preferring to discuss the history of how the field of theoretical physics developed, with not enou...
M-theory: Doubts linger over godless multiverseSTEPHEN HAWKING'S new book The Grand Design sparked a furore over whether physics can be used to disprove the existence of God. But few have noted that the idea at the core of the book, M-theory, is the subject of an ongoing scientific debate – specific...
The Big Bang only explain what happened shortly after universe is form. Time does not exists before Big Bang, and M Theory is currently the only theory that is closest to explaining everything. Plus gravity exists to balance out the force require to create life. All these in a thin book is incrediab...
