3-minute Stephen Hawking : digesting his life, theories and influence in 3-minute morsels
Parsons, Paul, 1971-2012
Book
Professor Hawking is one of the great geniuses of our time, but how much do you really know about him and his work. He not only explores the frontiers of space-time, but takes the trouble to come back and try to explain it to us non-science brains down here (A Brief History of Time, 1988). His intellect and enthusiasm are undimmed by the motor neurone disease that hampers his body and his work on gravitational singularities (black holes), the nature of time, and the attempt to reconcile quantum mechanics with Einstein's general relativity is genuinely brain-bending.
