English | February 7, 2019 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B07NHGJMWK | 185 Pages | AZW3 | 5.30 MB 'Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?' ~Stephen Hawking When author Kitty Ferguson approached British physicist Stephen Hawking with the idea of writing a book about him and his theories, he agreed to help her 'in any way I can.' She also interviewed numerous other eminent physicists about the next frontier of physics. Now you hold in your hands the splendid result of this endeavor. You may only know of Stephen Hawking as a scientist confined to a wheelchair. He has actually led a life of astounding mobility, in which he has ranged about the universe. This is not a biography per se. It is rather the story of one man's quest to find, in physics parlance, the 'Theory of Everything.' The 'Theory of Everything' would be nothing short of an explanation of the universe and everything that happens in it. Stephen Hawking was born in 1942 in Oxford, England, the son of Isobel and Frank Hawking, a medical researcher. Hawking describes himself as having been an ordinary English schoolboy. He attended Oxford University and went on to pursue his graduate studies in physics at Cambridge University. It was during his college years that Hawking first began to show the symptoms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the degenerative neurological disorder known in the United States as 'Lou Gehrig's disease.' Despite this ailment, he went on to marry, have three children, and all the while build his reputation as a physicist. In these pages you will encounter a multitude of amazing paradoxes: Beginnings may be endings.... Two great scientific theories taken together seem to give us nonsense.... Empty space isn't empty.... Black holes aren't black.... Cruel circumstances can lead to happiness, although fame and success may not....and a man whose appearance inspires shock and pity takes us laughing to where the boundaries of space and time ought to be-but are not.

Late physicist Stephen Hawking's final book was published Tuesday, and he doesn't fail to take on the big issues, including the existence of God.

'Do I have faith?' he writes in Brief Answers to the Big Questions. 'We are each free to believe what we want, and it's my view that the simplest explanation is that there is no God. No one created the universe, and no one directs our fate.'
Hawking goes on to say that this realization made him decide belief in an afterlife was just 'wishful thinking' and that 'when we die, we return to dust.'
But Hawking, who died in March at age 76, also saw a silver lining in what to some could be a bleak view. Humans live on in their influence, and in their children, he wrote.

Even though Hawking said he didn't believe in a personal God, if there was one, the scientist said, he had a question for Him.
More on Stephen Hawking
'If there were such a God, I would like to ask, however did he think of anything as complicated as M-theory in eleven dimensions,' Hawking wrote.

M-theory is a theory in physics that unifies all consistent versions of superstring theory. It's probably not the question most other people would ask a Supreme Being, but then, Hawking was one of a kind.

In the book, Hawking answers other major questions, such as whether we can predict the future (in principle yes, in practice no), if time travel is possible (he can't rule it out), and if there's other intelligent life in the universe (yes).

Eddie Redmayne, who played Hawking in the 2014 film The Theory of Everything, wrote the book's foreward. He relates that before Hawking saw the movie, he told the actor he would be honest with his review, whether it was 'Good. Or otherwise.' Spoiler: Hawking liked it, though he could've done with more physics and fewer feelings, and he notes that Redmayne played 'a particularly handsome version of me.'
A Brief History Of Time
Disbelief in God notwithstanding, Hawking's ashes now rest in London's Westminster Abbey, near those of fellow legendary scientists Charles Darwin and Isaac Newton.
