The flow of time. Black holes. Time travel !

My inner mind is so happy because I finally read this book. The last book I have read in 2021!

I decided, after looking at the books I read in 2021 that I needed to read a science book apart from fictions I always prefer. So picked this up and I was not disappointed. 

From the beginning of the universe, A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME  takes you on a journey that is very special, it describes in a very easy way how we got to understand the world and all the rules that govern the universe. It also explores the beginning of the universe, black holes, time travel.

With the cheekiness of Stephen Hawking’s writing, you get to understand topic that are very complex and sometimes confusing, physics is somewhat a difficult area of science, but one that is amazingly interesting. Hawking makes you fall in love with his work, his theory and physics.

I won’t lie, it’s a hard book to read. It gets heavy at some points but it’s easy to read too, I mean it’s not a textbook. I had to read only a few pages a day because there were so much information that I needed to process and understand. It’s easy to get lost if you don’t really like hard sciences but it’s such a good book I think everyone should read it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BRILLIANT STEPHEN HAWKING!

The role played by time at the beginning of the universe is, I believe, the final key to removing the need for a Grand Designer, and revealing how the universe created itself. Time itself must come to a stop. You can’t get to a time before the big bang, because there was no time before the big bang. We have finally found something that does not have a cause because there was no time for a cause to exist in. For me this means there is no possibility of a creator because there is no time for a creator to have existed. Since time itself began at the moment of the Big Bang, it was an event that could not have been caused or created by anyone or anything. Time didn’t exist before the Big Bang, so there is no time for God to make the universe in. It’s like asking for directions to the edge of the Earth. The Earth is a sphere. It does not have an edge, so looking for it is a futile exercise.

A must read to all the curious minds. I recommend this book to all those who love science and universe.

I enjoyed reading this book so much, it made me very happy and reminded me why I love science.

Thankyou Stephen Hawking for this experience!
