A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking

a_brief_history_of_time

Plunge in the depth of scientific aspects of the creation of our universe

A Brief History of Time is a popular science book written by renown physicist Stephen Hawking and first published by the Bantam Dell Publishing Group in 1988. It became a best-seller and has sold more than 10 million copies. It was also on the London Sunday Times best-seller list for more than four years.

A Brief History of Time attempts to explain a range of subjects in cosmology, including the Big Bang, black holes and light cones, to the non-specialist reader. Its main goal is to give an overview of the subject but, unusual for a popular science book, it also attempts to explain some complex mathematics.

This book explores such profound questions as: How did the universe begin—and what made its start possible? Does time always flow forward? Is the universe unending—or are there boundaries? Are there other dimensions in space? What will happen when it all ends?

Told in language we all can understand, A Brief History of Time plunges into the exotic realms of black holes and quarks, of antimatter and “arrows of time,” of the big bang and a bigger God—where the possibilities are wondrous and unexpected. With exciting images and profound imagination, Stephen Hawking brings us closer to the ultimate secrets at the very heart of creation.

The book ends with: "If we find [a unified theory], it would be the ultimate triumph — for then we would know the mind of God."

A fantastic Novel!

PLOT:

A girl named Imama is a member of the Qadiani community, who achieves noor-e-hidayat during emotional discussions about religion with two schoolmates. Imama decideds to "become a Muslim" (move from Ahmadiyya to Sunni Islam), but knows her family will oppose this, so keeps her conversion a secret from her parents. This issue comes to a head when her parents want to marry her to her cousin Asjad, which is unacceptable to her as he is Ahmadiyya and now heretical to her new Sunni faith. Her parents respond by locking her up in her house to force her to marry Asjad against her will. Imama seeks help from her neighbor Salar with 150+ IQ,who was his brother's friend too and whom she was previously antagonistic with since she is a religious girl and Salar is not religious. However, Salar comes to realise that the worldly luxuries he had pursued are not life's purpose, and that instead he should help others and submit to God.
