What a great final word. He caught my attention with A Brief History of Time. A classic! His books across the years have always made their way onto my TBR to entertain & educate me. It was lovely that his daughter participated. Where are we headed? If you‘re interested in Hawking‘s opinion on several big questions … God, AI, climate change, etc … you need this book. The hardcover is on my Amazon list. Loved it!

On a non-fiction kick.

I‘ve never read Hawking before and I‘m glad I took a chance with this book! It‘s really good! Like Neil geGrasse Tyson, Hawking explains science in a simple way so that it can be understood by anyone. Definitely worth a read!

#theworldismyoyster is the fabulous August prompt for #titlesandtunes hosted by @BarbaraBB & @Cinfhen !!

My picks for that came easily and so I‘m posting early, for a change!!
I‘m slowly making my way through this last book by Stephen Hawking, who took „the world being his oyster“ to another level!! 🪐 🧬He conveys his fascination with and curiosity for the world so well, it‘s really inspiring 💫
⬇️⬇️

CoffeeAndABook The song for me represents this deep promising feeling of the world being my oyster. Back when I was young & had my first big love, a fabulous gorgeous man who could dance like a god. One night we went out for cocktails at a fun restaurant called the Whistelstop Café and this song came on. We‘d seen Kadja Nin at a concert shortly beforehand and both loved this song. He stood up and asked me to dance right there in the middle of the restaurant!! ⬇️ (edited) 1y
CoffeeAndABook So we danced (this was not a place that has a dancing floor or anything) around the tables and barspace and the whole place clapped afterwards. This is not what I do. Ever. It was scary but also magical 🌀 I have to add, I had just the right amount of Margarita in me to make it possible without stumbling around ☺️ (edited) 1y
Cinfhen I LOVE the story behind the song choice❤️🎶🙌🏻 all first loves should be as delicious 🕺🏻💃🏾😁 1y

Cinfhen How‘s your foot??? 1y
CoffeeAndABook Oh @Cinfhen it‘s still not well 😖 I‘ve got to learn to be patient!!!!! 😤 1y
Cinfhen I know a broken foot takes some time to heal - and im sure you‘re going stir crazy - missing your walks with Zelda 🙁 1y
BarbaraBB What a wonderful book choice 🩷 1y
CoffeeAndABook @Cinfhen Yes totally stir crazy!! I still take short walks with Zelda but I‘m sure they‘re driving HER stir crazy because we‘re limping along at such a slow pace 🙈 1y

Book is too good ...as always the big concepts and theories are explained in very simple language.
These questions we must have asked or thought of once in while..or it may have crossed our mind...the answers to these questions is definitely worth a read...they are mind opening... would definitely widen your horizon.

This isn't a book I would usually pick up, however I throughly enjoyed it! It's simple to understand and makes you question a lot of things, with Stephen's humour sprinkled in, I found it entertaining and educational.

Last read of the year probably!
I really liked this, even though it was repetitive at times and I found the whole colonising space bit slightly alienating. Hawking is great at breaking down super complicated things into chewable portions and made me really excited about space and black holes! The afterword by his daughter was very emotional and made me appreciate the book even more.
All in all a great way to finish this year!

So, apparently I have read all of 16 books this year so far. I am striving to make it 20, but all in all this was not a great reading year ... Hopefully, the slump will end soon!

AkashaVampie aww sorry to hear u are in a slump. Have u checked out any of my #FallBackIntoReading posts. I have been doing them for the whole Fall season. I usually post Tuesdays and Fridays with articles and quizzes to maybe help with getting into books again. Maybe try looking at some. Hope they help! 4y
scripturient-ink @AkashaVampie I'll check it out, thanks! 4y
AkashaVampie @scripturient-ink oh shoot... I'm just seeing this now. Hope they help. Ur welcome, hun. 4y

Hello friends! Sorry for my lengthy absence, I barely read anything this year with the looming apocalypse and all.
But I just created an account on The StoryGraph in an attempt to motivate myself to get back to my books, feel free to follow me there (username: scripturient)!

My fundamental understanding of God and creation has been altered by this book. Some questions still linger😱. Unfortunately, the world will never be able to seek those answers from Sir Stephen Hawking.

A great summary of his writings followed by a lovely piece by Lucy at the end. Well worth the read even just as a reminder of his brilliance and perseverance.

At some point during our 13.8 billion years of cosmic history, something beautiful happened. The information processing got so intelligent that life forms became concious. Our universe has now awoken, becoming aware of itself.

When people ask me if a God created the univers, I tell them that the question itself makes no sense. Time didn't exist before Big Bang so there is no time for God to make the universe in.

But it would be an empty universe indeed if it were not for the people I love, and who love me. Without them, the wonder of it all would be lost on me.

Just finished Brief Answers to the Big Questions. Amazing book. Feels like a conversation with the late Stephen Hawking. Makes you think about the bug questions and also gives a glimpse in the future space exploration technologies. Must read.

I enjoy most science books so this is a pick for me. There were several points in which I agreed with Hawkings especially some of his AI ideas and explanations. Frankly though I feel we should conquer our every day problems before adding robots that will overtake mankind.

#nonfiction2019 #science It is calming to hear words of someone who spent his life thinking the big picture! We get so easily distracted by daily woes of economy, environment etc, but Hawking reminds us, in a few hundred years super-humans will be zipping around the cosmos, settling on Mars, etc. Life will be unimaginable to ours today! I loved listening to audio, with snippets of Hawkings speaking, and a lovely afterward by his daughter!

I didn't understand a lot of the theoretical physics in there, but I tried! His answers about what may cause the end of the world, the dangers of artificial intelligence, the possibilities of time travel and the existence of God were very clear and interesting.

jb72 I‘m waiting on my hold from the library for this book. Sounds like it‘ll be good. 6y
tealwish @jb72 The audio book was good and had parts where Stephen did the talking in his own voice, but I also wonder if I would have understood better if I read the physical copy. Hope you enjoy it! 6y
jb72 @tealwish Thanks. I‘m on hold for the ebook so that should work. 6y

The book from Stephen Hawking "Brief answers to the big questions" is a must-read. Full with interesting speculations and information, it really makes you conserned about the big problems and questions nowadays, but it also gives you hope that with knowledge and fantasy we can cope with them and make the impossible, besause it's our mission to make sure we continue to exist and explore the universe and find an answer to all our questions.

I loved this as an audiobook. Before passing Hawking wrote out answers to some questions. Other answers came from speeches he gave over the years. It‘s all very accessible and very interesting.

Sooo, this is not my everyday book.. although I promised to delve deeper into life during 2019. I found the book interesting, but not as much as I hoped it would be. The chapters on AI though really got me thinking about the present and the future, and the hard choices we need to make as a species.

Each chapter starts with a question and ends with an answer. Intriguing, universal, questions are asked and Hawking gives some approachable and easily understood answers. Relatable science for us non-science types.

Stephen Hawking isn‘t an anti-social genius. He‘s brilliant, no doubt. He‘s also witty, sarcastic, charming, and completely relatable in his book Brief Answers for the Big Questions, published posthumously.
