 - Not for the Mathmatically ChallengedIf you liked "The Road to reality" and have an understanding of the Mathmatics of Quantum Physics and Relativity then you will enjoy this book. Otherwise don't bother. Rating:  - SweetThe complexity of space and time easily transcribed, though a more laymens terms kind of explaination would have been more interesting. Rating: - Fascinating, yet complex.I found this to be a fascinating overview of some of the major issues in cosmology from both Hawking and Penroses point of view. What is amazing is the actual level of agreement between the two. Perhaps only the real physicists appreciate the nuances of their differences of opinion. I would recommend this book for anyone who's gone to the trouble of picking up a basic understanding of relativity ( special and/or general ). The math is not terrbily daunting in most places and you get a real overview for the big picture of the state of relativity and quantum gravity. Rating: - Requires understanding of physicsTo really appreciate this book requires an understanding of physics. Not the superficial stuff where you still believe that Newton was right, but Quantum Mechanics, Topology, and General Relativity. Rating: - For some guysThe subject and the contents of this book is very interesting. However, you have to know quite a lot mathematics ..... Far above my level! |
