Kraća povest vremena: Dopunjeno najnovijim naučnim saznanjima

Více o knize

Stephen Hawking's bestseller has become a landmark in scientific literature, captivating readers with its engaging voice and profound subjects, including the nature of space and time and the universe's history and future. However, many readers have expressed difficulty in grasping some of its key concepts. This prompted Hawking to create a more accessible version, bringing the content up-to-date with the latest scientific findings. While this book is shorter, it delves deeper into the original's themes. Technical concepts, like chaotic boundary conditions, have been removed, allowing for a clearer focus on topics of broad interest, such as relativity, curved space, and quantum theory, which now have dedicated chapters. This reorganization enables an expansion on recent advancements, including developments in string theory and the quest for a unified theory of physics. Like its predecessor, this edition aims to guide nonscientists in exploring the mysteries of time and space. Enhanced by thirty-seven full-color illustrations, this work stands as an exhilarating addition to scientific literature, making complex ideas more accessible to a wider audience.
