Der große Entwurf
Der große Entwurf: eine neue Erklärung des Universums | Leonard Mlodinow, Stephen W. Hawking
Die letzten dreißig Jahre seines wissenschaftlichen Lebens verwandte Albert Einstein auf die Suche nach der Weltformel, die alle elementaren Naturkräfte in einer einzigen schlüssigen Theorie erklärt. Aber die Zeit war nicht reif für eine solche Entdeckung. Auch nicht, als Stephen Hawking 1988 Eine kurze Geschichte der Zeit veröffentlichte. Sein Welt-Bestseller hat jedoch die Suche nach der einen Theorie von allem populär gemacht wie kein anderes Buch. Jetzt überrascht uns Hawking mit der Nachricht, dass wir womöglich kurz davorstehen. In Der große Entwurf schlägt das Jahrhundert-Genie einen ungewöhnlichen Weg vor, wie sich die widerstreitenden Theorien über Relativität und Quantenphysik zusammenfügen lassen. Für Hawking wäre dann bewiesen, was er heute nur vermuten kann: dass sich das Universum selbst erschaffen hat. Im Lichte von 40 Jahren eigener Forschung und mit Blick auf die bahnbrechenden astronomischen Entdeckungen und theoretischen Durchbrüche der letzten Jahre präsentiert Der große Entwurf eine aufregend neue und provokative Theorie über den Ursprung und die Entwicklung des Universums. In seiner klaren, eleganten und bilderreichen Sprache unternimmt es Hawking gemeinsam mit Leonard Mlodinow, uns Antworten zu geben auf die ersten und letzten Fragen unserer Existenz.

Another book that has been on my TBR lost a long time.

TheKidUpstairs I love science reads, but Hawking has always intimidated me. Maybe someday I'll try. 3y
TheSpineView @TheKidUpstairs I have a couple of Hawking's books but hesitate for the same reason as you. When asked it blame it on my TBR piles! 😠3y

For all people who get wonderstruck by stars and the universe. Science terms are understandable and not that difficult.

“We each exist for but a short time, and in that time explore but a small part of the whole universe. But humans are a curious species. We wonder, we seek answers. Living in this vast world that is by turns kind and cruel, and gazing at the immense heavens above, people have always asked a multitude of questionsâ€

First book of Stephen Hawking‘s I‘ve ever read and I‘m really into it despite only being on chp 2. It‘s always good to get out of our comfort zones. Maybe I‘ll rewatch The Theory of Everything after this 🌎ðŸªðŸ“‘

What a loss for the world today. RIP Stephen Hawking.

I think one of these will be my next non-fiction read, in honour. Probably still won't be for a while though as I am slow with non-fiction these days.

The book is awsm contain full of scientific information and describes the fundamental reason behind strange thing happening in the universe and we believe it is due to God.

I mean, what do I say? It's incredible stuff explained as concisely and clearly as humanly possible, I found it utterly fascinating (and the bad jokes oddly endearing). I would recommend reading a Brief History of Time first, a lot of material is restated but the earlier work helps with the groundwork of the theories in focus here. It's also a beautifully produced book with full-colour illustrations. #TacklingTheTBR #nonfictionchallenge17

And now for something completely different... I'm finally returning to physics with Professor Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow, I hope I can keep up. A Brief History of Time was let down by the poor image quality (pictures help me learn!) but this one is beautifully produced, I love the colour illustrations! Thank you @DuckOfDoom my Litsy Secret Santa!

KVanRead Wherever did you get those super cool bookhands? 7y
saresmoore Yay! And the return of the book hands! 7y
Moray_Reads @KVanRead I can't remember exactly, either etsy or eBay. I see them used all the time in Rare Books catalogues at work and I just had to track some down. These are reproductions of Victorian pieces. They're very useful for taking photos! 7y

After finishing the amazing A Court of Mist and Fury this weekend, and now fighting through the subsequent book hangover, I needed something completely different from the amazing story I adored so much.

I started listening to the audiobook version and immediately realized that I needed the physical book for intense review and major note taking!
