A Briefer History of Time

This is one hell of a book. Stephen Hawkin is brilliant, and sure knows how to get a dumb kid like me to wrap his head around some of the most complicated concepts there are.

I haven't been able to stop thinking about the universe and basic questions of existence since I finished. It raises wonderful questions like, Who is God? What is God? What is outside the universe? How did the universe begin? What existed before? What is a soul? Is there a soul? Does time travel exist? Are we travelling through time as we speak? (Yes!)

And did you know science CANNOT predict where the universe came from or what created it? It's just not possible to figure out. Which is why, presumebly, a lot of scientists believe in God.

Worth a read. It's like 120 pages long and written for people like you and me. Great to take to the pool, or the beach, or just read in bed or on the couch.
