在《A Brief History of Time》中，Stephen Hawking帶領我們思考宇宙與時間的本質。從經典物理到現代宇宙學，他以理性與想像交織的筆法，描繪宇宙的誕生、演化與未解之謎。書中不僅闡述理論，更提出深刻的哲學提問——若宇宙有起點，那是什麼樣的「開始」？這本書讓複雜的科學成為可親近的思考，引領無數人對宇宙懷抱好奇。Was there a beginning of time? Could time run backwards? Is the universe infinite or does it have boundaries? These are just some of the questions considered in an internationally acclaimed masterpiece by one of the world's greatest thinkers. It begins by reviewing the great theories of the cosmos from Newton to Einstein, before delving into the secrets which still lie at the heart of space and time, from the Big Bang to black holes, via spiral galaxies and strong theory. To this day A Brief History of Time remains a staple of the scientific canon, and its succinct and clear language continues to introduce millions to the universe and its wonders.
