Posted on 18 August 2017 by Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking was the most renowned scientist since Einstein, known both for his groundbreaking work in physics and cosmology and for his mischievous sense of humor He educated millions of readers about the origins of the universe and the nature of black holes, and inspired millions by defying a terrifying early prognosis of ALS, which originally gave him only two years to live In later life he could communicate only by using a few facial muscles, but he continued to advance his field and serve as a revered voice on social and humanitarian issues.Hawking not only unraveled some of the universe s greatest mysteries but also believed science plays a critical role in fixing problems here on Earth Now, as we face immense challenges on our planet including climate change, the threat of nuclear war, and the development of artificial intelligence he turns his attention to the most urgent issues facing us.Will humanity survive Should we colonize space Does God exist These are just a few of the questions Hawking addresses in this wide ranging, passionately argued final book from one of the greatest minds in history.Featuring a foreword by Eddie Redmayne, who won an Oscar for playing Stephen Hawking, an introduction by Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne, and an afterword from Hawking s daughter, Lucy, Brief Answers to the Big Questions is a brilliant last message to the world.
