British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking—one of the brilliant scientists of our time—is known not only for the boldness of his ideas, but also for the clear and witty way he presents them. He draws the reader to the forefront of research, where truth seems stranger than fiction, and in simple words explains the principles that govern the Universe. Stephen Hawking’s co-authorship with Leonard Mlodinow—an expert in quantum theory and chaos theory—forms a successful creative tandem, which has already been confirmed by their joint work “A Brief History of Time,” a huge success.
“ The Grand Design” is a new exciting book by these remarkable authors. The goal of this book is to provide answers to the questions that trouble us about the existence of the Universe—answers grounded in the latest scientific discoveries and theoretical developments. They lead us to a unique theory describing an enormous, amazingly diverse Universe—one that will allow us to unravel the Grand Design.
