Description
Stephen Hawking's groundbreaking work on the origins and nature of the universe has become a cornerstone of modern scientific understanding. First published in 1988, this book has sold over nine million copies worldwide in forty languages, reflecting its impact on the scientific community. The intervening years have seen significant advances in our understanding of the universe, with new discoveries confirming many of the theoretical predictions made by Professor Hawking in his original work. Notably, the Cosmic Background Explorer satellite (COBE) has provided further evidence for the existence of the wrinkles in space-time predicted by Professor Hawking. In response, he has updated his original text to incorporate this new knowledge, as well as his own recent research. The result is a comprehensive and authoritative introduction to the universe, covering topics from the Big Bang to black holes. This revised edition includes a new introduction, an entirely new chapter on wormholes and time travel, and updated chapters throughout, providing readers with a detailed and insightful exploration of the universe's most fundamental mysteries.
