A Brief History of Time

Who else has read it?


I read it in the layman's context...I am still working on understanding the math behind it...(not my strong suit)


Still, the concepts are easy enough to grasp, and if you're into physics at all it's a good read...



Written, of course, by the one and only Stephen Hawking.

Re: A Brief History of Time

Well, that depends on whether or not you like theoretical physics...


It's probably a bit outdated now, but he puts some of the harder theories to simpler terms...so it helped me understand the subject matter a bit better than I had before I read it.
