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.

為了讓更多人能真正走進宇宙的思考，Stephen Hawking與Leonard Mlodinow重新整理了《A Brief History of Time》，創作出這本更易讀、內容更新的《A Briefer History of Time》。書中刪除繁複數學推導，改以清晰章節介紹時空、相對論、量子力學與宇宙的未來。透過三十八幅全彩插圖與簡潔文字，讀者能更輕鬆地理解宇宙的秩序與神祕，重新體會科學的美與深度。Stephen Hawking's worldwide bestseller, A Brief History of Time, has been a landmark volume in scientific writing. Its author's engaging voice is one reason, and the compelling subjects he addresses is another: the nature of space and time, the role of God in creation, the history and future of the universe. But it is also true that in the years since its publication, readers have repeatedly told Professor Hawking of their great difficulty in understanding some of the book's most important concepts. This is the origin of and the reason for A Briefer History of Time: its author's wish to make its content accessible to readers - as well as to bring it up-to-date with the latest scientific observations and findings.Although this book is literally somewhat 'briefer', it actually expands o
