Reseña del editor
This is the story of one of the most remarkable figures of the late 20th century - Professor Stephen Hawking, the Cambridge genius who has earned an international reputation as the most brilliant theoretical physicist since Einstein. His book, "A Brief History of Time", has sold eight million copies worldwide and familiarized a whole generation with complex but exciting scientific theories. When Kitty Ferguson approached Stephen Hawking with the idea of writing a book about him and asked him to help her make certain she understood his theories, he agreed to do so and also supplied her with material about his childhood and life. It is not a biography per se. It is rather the story of one man's quest to find the "theory of everything". In these pages you will encounter a multitude of amazing paradoxes: Beginnings may be endings. Two great scientific theories taken together seem to give us nonsense. Empty space isn't empty. Black holes aren't black. Cruel circumstances can lead to happiness, although fame and success may not, and a man whose appearance inspires shock and pity takes us laughing to where the boundaries of space and time ought to be - but are not.
Biografía del autor
Kitty Ferguson was born in San Antonio, Texas. She studied at the Juilliard School of Music in New York and was for many years a successful professional musician, conducting and performing oratorio, early music and chamber music. In 1986 she moved to England where her husband was a Visiting Fellow and later Life Member of Clare Hall, Cambridge University. During this and many subsequent periods of residence at Cambridge, Kitty Ferguson audited graduated lectures and seminars in the Department of Applied Maths and Theoretical Physics and got to know some of the legendary figures in those fields, including Stephen Hawking. In 1987 she retired from music to devote herself full time to writing about science.
