About this listen

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. Stephen Hawking enlightens readers and exposes them to the rich history of scientific thought and the complexities of the universe in which we live.

This is a fantastic journey through the world of quantum physics and cosmology, even if some of it is hard to grasp. However, the reader speaks v e r y, v e r y s l o w l y. Listening at 1.5x improved it considerably.

I love this simple yet complicated explanation of everything in our universe. Even though it was written a few years ago it's still cutting edge. I've read this book about three times now. Just starting to retain enough to tell someone else of the miraculous explanations I have heard. The book is simple I just have a bad memory that's why I will read it probably three more times! Enjoy.

A must read and reread!

exploration, laws, history with the given subject in the field of science from what i could understand.

It was so good to listen to. Steven hawking to me was one of the best people I have known ( not personally )

Never read a book this good

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.

Mind expanding

Admittedly it is hard to explain tough material in laymen's terms but Hawking does a decent job.

Not as good as Carl Sagan but OK.
