Brief history of time

Could time run backwards? Is  universe infinite or does it have boundaries? These are just some of  questions considered in an internationally acclaimed masterpiece by one of  world's greatest thinkers. It begins by reviewing  great stories of  cosmos from Newton to Einstein, before delving into  secrets which still lie at  heart of space and time, from  Big Bang to black holes, via spiral galaxies and string theory. To this day A Brief History of Time remains a staple of  scientific canon, and its succinct and clear language continues to introduce millions to  universe and its wonders.
