Astronomy & Space Science - On the Origin of Time: Stephen Hawking's Final Theory

Description

Book Synopsis: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Stephen Hawking’s closest collaborator offers the intellectual superstar’s final thoughts on the cosmos—a dramatic revision of the theory he put forward in A Brief History of Time.“This superbly written book offers insight into an extraordinary individual, the creative process, and the scope and limits of our current understanding of the cosmos.”—Lord Martin ReesPerhaps the biggest question Stephen Hawking tried to answer in his extraordinary life was how the universe could have created conditions so perfectly hospitable to life. In order to solve this mystery, Hawking studied the big bang origin of the universe, but his early work ran into a crisis when the math predicted many big bangs producing a multiverse—countless different universes, most of which would be far too bizarre to harbor life. Holed up in the theoretical physics department at Cambridge, Stephen Hawking and his friend and collaborator Thomas Hertog worked on this problem for twenty years, developing a new theory of the cosmos that could account for the emergence of life. Peering into the extreme quantum physics of cosmic holograms and venturing far back in time to our deepest roots, they were startled to find a deeper level of evolution in which the physical laws themselves transform and simplify until particles, forces, and even time itself fades away. This discovery led them to a revolutionary idea: The laws of physics are not set in stone but are born and co-evolve as the universe they govern takes shape. As Hawking’s final days drew near, the two collaborators published their theory, which proposed a radical new Darwinian perspective on the origins of our universe. On the Origin of Time offers a striking new vision of the universe’s birth that will profoundly transform the way we think about our place in the order of the cosmos and may ultimately prove to be Hawking’s greatest legacy.

Details

Are you ready to dive into the fascinating theories of the cosmos? Look no further than "On the Origin of Time," the groundbreaking final book by the legendary Stephen Hawking. With his closest collaborator, Hawking presents a dramatic revision of his previously established theory in "A Brief History of Time." This New York Times Bestseller will unlock the secrets of the universe and take you on an exhilarating journey through the mind of one of the greatest intellectuals of our time.

What sets "On the Origin of Time" apart is its ability to offer profound insights into the creative process and the boundaries of our knowledge about the cosmos. Lord Martin Rees himself describes the book as superbly written, nudging us to understand both the extraordinary life of Stephen Hawking and the vastness of our current understanding. Prepare to have your mind expanded and your perspective shifted.

One of the most captivating questions that Hawking sought to answer was how the universe could have birthed conditions that are perfectly suitable for life. Delving into the concept of the big bang, this book tackles the mystery head-on. Hawking's research encountered a major stumbling block when the math predicted the existence of multiple big bangs, resulting in countless unimaginably different universes. However, fear not, as Hawking and Thomas Hertog, his friend and collaborator, used their collective expertise to develop a groundbreaking new theory.

What they discovered will leave you in awe: The physical laws of the universe are not fixed in stone. In fact, they transform and simplify gradually as the universe takes shape. This revolutionary idea challenges everything we thought we knew about the nature of our reality. Explore the extreme depths of quantum physics and trace the evolution of particles, forces, and even time itself as you embark on this mind-bending journey through Hawking's final theory.

"On the Origin of Time" is not just a book; it is a legacy. As the last publication from Stephen Hawking, it offers a profound new perspective on the universe's birth. Prepare to have your understanding of our place in the grand order of the cosmos radically transformed. To embark on this cosmic adventure with Stephen Hawking, grab a copy now.
