A Brief History of Time - Stephen Hawking

I read A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking. At first, I thought it was going to be one of those heavy theoretical physics books, but I was wrong. Hawking has this almost magical ability to translate things like black holes, relativity, and even the beginning of the universe into something any curious person can follow.

Were there moments when I had to reread the same paragraph twice? Definitely. I went back a few times, but that’s part of the ride. It’s the kind of book that makes you feel small in the face of the universe immensity, yet curious eager to understand more.

The book makes it clear how little we still know. With all of human intelligence and centuries of study, we still don’t have all the answers. And that’s not a problem, that’s the beauty of it.

In the end, you’re left with the feeling that we’re passengers on something enormous, trying to decipher fragments of a story that began billions of years before us. A story that keeps unfolding and might never have a final answer and that’s perfectly fine.
