xxiii, 230 pages: illustrations 21 cm The world-famous cosmologist and #1 bestselling author of A Brief History of Time leaves us with his final thoughts on the universe`s biggest questions in this brilliant posthumous work. "Dr. Stephen Hawking was the most renowned scientist since Einstein, known both for his groundbreaking work in physics and cosmology and for his mischievous sense of humor. He educated millions of readers about the origins of the universe and the nature of black holes, and inspired millions more by defying a terrifying early prognosis of ALS, which originally gave him only two years to live. In later life he could communicate only by using a few facial muscles, but he continued to advance his field and serve as a revered voice on social and humanitarian issues. Hawking not only unraveled some of the universe`s greatest mysteries but also believed science plays a critical role in fixing problems here on Earth. Now he turns his attention to the most urgent issues facing us. Will humanity survive? Should we colonize space? Does God exist? ​​These are just a few of the questions Hawking addresses in this wide-ranging, passionately argued final book from one of the greatest minds in history. Featuring a foreword by Eddie Redmayne, who won an Oscar playing Stephen Hawking, an introduction by Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne, and an afterword from Hawking`s daughter, Lucy." --|c(Source of summary not specified) Stephen Hawking. in English Science Philosophy Philosophy and science Religion and science Inquiry (Theory of knowledge) Science Miscellanea 500 H39b c2018 9781984819192 251212 20260803094233.0
