Publisher's summary

The brilliant mind that presented the world with A Brief History of Time offers more insights into the mysteries of the universe.

Based on a series of lectures given at Cambridge University, The Theory of Everything presents the most complex concepts of physics—both past and present—in a clear and accessible manner. Acclaimed physicist and author of A Brief History of Time—which has sold more than 25 million copies—Stephen Hawking enlightens audiences and exposes them to the rich history of scientific thought and the complexities of the universe in which we live. Hawking presents a compelling look at our universe, its creation, and how we see ourselves within it.

The Theory of Everything

Another amazing book written by Mr. Hawking. His genial brain has overcome his physical issues.

We were blessed for having his soul between us for a brief but proficuous time.

Breathless.

"There should be no boundary between human endeavour," Stephen Hawking explains during a press conference. It is this line that strikes a chord at the very centre of James Marsh's incredible biopic on one of the most brilliant scientists of our time.

Fascinating concepts

Very well done and had a lot of interesting concepts in a relatively simple way of putting them. My lack of science topics was a hinderance but still enjoyed it overall. Will have to give it another read/listen in the future.

Michael York is Great!

Love the narration. if you have read or listened to a Briefer History of Time then some of these lectures will be repetitive but still interesting.

Mind expanding

Good discussion of the history of physic's theory and attempts to unite into a grand unifying theory. I would have liked more of the math added in. Too much of "trust me it works" in the explanations. Yes I know that would have exponentially expanded the book into volumes, but it would have been nice to point to concise details for those interested.
