Summary

Stephen Hawking: The Universe in a Nutshell

One of the most influential cosmologists of our time, Stephen Hawking takes us through the very edge of theoretical physics, where the truth is often stranger than imagination, to explain the universe in layman's terms. Many four-color illustrations help us explain this journey through a supernatural wonderland where particles, membranes and strings move in eleven dimensions; where black holes evaporate and disappear, taking their secrets with them.

The Universe in a Nutshell is essential reading for all of us who want to understand the universe in which we live. Like the famous A Brief History of Time, this book evokes the excitement felt in the scientific community when the secrets of the universe begin to unfold before us.

The behavior of the immensely large universe, writes Stephen Hawking, can be understood by depicting its history in imaginary time. In this sense, it has similarities with Hamlet's walnut shell, and that walnut contains everything that happens in real time. Hamlet was therefore absolutely right: We can be closed in a walnut shell and consider ourselves the king of the endless expanse.

After A Brief History of Time, this second important science-popular work by Hawking has already won a literary award and attracted the attention of millions of readers around the world. With more than 200 color illustrations, it is the clearest presentation so far

of the cosmology of the universe we live in.

The book was translated by Damir Mikuličić
