A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes is a book on theoretical cosmology by the physicist Stephen Hawking. It was first published in 1988. Hawking wrote the book for readers who had no prior knowledge of physics.
In A Brief History of Time, Hawking writes in non-technical terms about the structure, origin, development and eventual fate of the universe, which is the object of study of astronomy and modern physics. He talks about basic concepts like space and time, basic building blocks that make up the universe (such as quarks) and the fundamental forces that govern it (such as gravity). He writes about cosmological phenomena such as the Big Bang and black holes. He discusses two major theories, general relativity and quantum mechanics, that modern scientists use to describe the universe. Finally, he talks about the search for a unifying theory that describes everything in the universe in a coherent manner.
The book became a bestseller and has sold more than 25 million copies in 40 languages.[1]

Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England in 1942 and studied physics and cosmology at the University of Oxford and Cambridge. He showed that Einstein's general theory of relativity implied that the universe began with a singularity known as the Big Bang and would end in black holes. Hawking also discovered that black holes emit radiation and eventually evaporate, contrary to previous scientific consensus. He is the author of the international bestselling book "A Brief History of Time" and has received numerous scientific awards and honors. Despite being diagnosed with ALS at a young age, Hawking has continued his groundbreaking work in theoretical physics and remains active in research and public speaking.
