Summary of A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking - Includes Analysis



Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time is about the universe, both the grand-scale universe of stars and planets, general relativity, and the tiny universe of atoms and subatomic particles, quantum mechanics. The reason the book covers both dimensions is that understanding both is the only way to understand the way the universe works as a whole. Some theories explain the workings of the grand scale of the universe and others the workings of the minute scale, but they tend to contradict one another. And, currently, there is no theory that explains both...

Well read and clear summary. I’m not of a science background so I will be listening to it again to absorb it a bit better. I found it hard years ago, as a non scientist to read /get into Hawking’s book (blasphemy I know!) so I liked this overview and analysis as a muggle.

Why can we remember the past but not the future?

Thought it was very insightful and enjoyed the history of physics. For someone who hasn’t considered it since high school found it highly beneficial. Likely
Outdated now being 2005 published will have to get an updated book to see what has been discovered in the last 20 years.

Good book for anyone with minimal theoretical physics knowledge and looking to get a little taste!

As represented in Instaread’s “Takeaways, Analysis and Review” Stephen Hawking’s “A Brief History of Time” is an attempt to explain theories about the origins and nature of the universe to the lay reader. Instaread condenses the core of Hawking’s work into 8 Key Takeawyas with an Overview and an analysis of Hawking’s writing style.

Instaread Summaries can be valuable in two ways. They can either spur your interest to read the whole book or can leave you a little wiser after a 32-page read. For readers with a reasonable understanding about the cosmos I am sure that this Analysis would be a valuable aid in deciding whether Hawking’s tome should be their next read. While I have an interest in science, studies or speculations about the building blocks of the universe overwhelm me. Although Instaread’s Analysis tempts me to delve into the subject book, I think that I got more out of the Analysis than I would from its subject.

Whether your comprehension of astro-physics is basic or in-depth, Instaread’s “Key Takeaways, Analysis & Review” is a good place to commence your investigation of “A Brief History Of Time”.

I did receive a free copy of this book without an obligation to post a review.

Mankind has been studying the universe—both the macro universe of the galaxies and stars and the micro universe of subatomic particles—since ancient times, and it is still a mystery. Stephen Hawking, one of the greatest minds of the 20th and 21st centuries, in his book A Brief History of Time attempts to shed some light on the nature of both universes. While the book is written in plain language, what seems to come through is there remain more questions than answers. But, Hawking at least points the way to further research into efforts to develop a unified theory, or an explanation of ‘everything.’
Even though it’s in nontechnical language, this is a book that’s likely to appeal mostly to those interested in science, which is a shame, because what Hawking has to say is important. If you don’t read the book itself, I would at least suggest reading A Brief History of Time: by Stephen Hawking/Key Takeaways, Analysis & Review by Instaread. This handy little book, that can be read in 15 minutes, will give you the essence of Hawking’s book, and it just might entice you to dive into the full work.

What a fascinating read! I loved this summary put together by Instaread, and it convinced me that I want, no need, to read more. This summary and analysis break down Stephen Hawking's book into 8 key takeaways, with each point being developed. I loved that I could get a clear understanding of the actual book in just 15 minutes of reading.

It's quite explaining. But to be true that I feel deceived for purchasing this book. It's like not capturing the point of the original book. Highly not recommended, you better buy the book written by Stephen Hawking himself

A fascinating and easy to read insight on subjects I know very little about.
