A Brief History of Time

I was just walk­ing around my dorm today and came across a poster about a talk to be held in my uni­ver­sity about Stephen Hawking’s book A Brief His­tory of Time.

I took a look at the related books area and instantly decided to set a mis­sion for myself: I’m going to read most (if not all) of Stephen Hawking’s writ­ings. They are so ele­gant and yet, simple. Hawking’s writ­ings read like a series of thought exper­i­ments: it’s not laden with terms and jar­gons for show­ing off’s sake, yet he man­ages to explain and pre­dict the most dif­fi­cult sci­ences of our nature. Truly, simple is beautiful.
