really liked it

Mind blowing stuff. The scale of the descriptions are just too large to take in in a normal paced read and I was frequently doubling back and that is despite Hawkins in this series of lectures does his very best to stay at a graspable level. A bit ambiguously I found myself wanting a bit more details - at the same time never imagining I would ever understand them. Whatever level of physics you are at, it’s a highly recommended read.

Paulo Nice review Thomas, as usual.
I read it in 2016/17, I can't remember exactly, but despite Hawking being an undisputable genius (and I an old donkey absolutely incapable of learning new tricks) I strongly believe he suffered from the Shiva Complex.
Not happy with his first theory of "black holes" where he predicted that -"all objects with mass may eventually disappear" - because under that light, objects without mass (that exist?) could survive, he developed a whole new one, and under his new theory, he has given his older prediction a sinister update � "...that everything in the universe is doomed to evaporate..."
As far as my theological knowledge goes, Shiva is the only god whose "function" is to perform the task of dissolving everything and everyone into Him, by doing the Cosmic dance.
The moral of the story? let's just avoid discotheques!

I don't know my friend, I don't dare make any assumptions on these matters. Every time I think I've found a way of thinking about it, it turns into the feeling of catching smoke with my hands...

Yeah!, I know the feeling.
