7 posts | 2 read | 2 reading | 9 to read
This is Stephen Hawking's updated, expanded and illustrated edition of his celebrated work which includes the most recent developments in the field, many of which were forecast by him. At the same time, he explains his complex theories through a fresh visual dimension. Over one hunded and fifty stunning colour illustrations have been specially commissioned for this purpose to help the reader understand what have become popular mythic images of our century, but which nonetheless remain difficult, abstract ideas to grasp. It includes a new introduction written specially for this edition.

1) Physical books whenever possible.
2) The library and Barnes and Noble
3) I do while driving or working out. But I like the ones that have more production. Lots of sound effects, multiple voices actors, ect.
4) Audible mostly
5) I just recently did a book haul from B&N but I'm most excited for A Brief History of Time

We lost one of mankind‘s greatest minds today. Stephen Hawking was amazing, his theories on space & time outshone every other scientist, he would‘ve given Einstein a run for his money. He published books & papers about his discoveries,he theorised that black holes emit a form of radiation, now known as Hawking Radiation. Plus he became a pop culture icon with appearances on The Simpson‘s & The Big Bang Theory. He will be missed. #RIPStephenHawking

Day 3 - Recent non-fiction read: I have tried to read and understand this book twice now and have only made it to around page 13. Although I haven't finished it, it's the most recent non-fiction attempt. #Marchintoreading @RealLifeReading

JoeStalksBeck I need this!!! 7y
ruthemmielang Bravo for trying to read that! I wouldn't make it past the first chapter because it would make me feel stupid 7y
Aurora0044 @ruthemmielang Oh no, it still makes me feel plenty stupid, lol, but thank you for the encouragement ❤😁 7y

❓❓WHAT? I've read this passage 10 times...slowly, and I still can't grasp what he is trying to say. I want to read and understand this book so bad but I think it's still out of my league, for now. I'll come back to it another time ☹️

Dontworry Aurora, it's easier than it looks. It's like a scientific mocking. He is trying to convene that the 18th & 19th century physicists thought so high of themselves that they neglected the real deal explained by Newton but it turned out fine later on and everything remained normal. 2y

What did I get myself into? I have to read each sentence about 3-5 times at snail pace to even attempt to understand this book. I have wanted to read it since high school, so I'm determined. Anyone else who's already read it, or perhaps wants to read with me so I won't feel so dumb all alone over here? 😂😫🤔
