How was our universe created? a well known question in which all of mankind still does not fully understand but instead we use ideas such as God and other weird things as answers. But Stephen Hawking the most well known physicist since Albert Einstein explains in depth the Big Bang. He also described how there are pre made black holes already in the universe before anything was really created.
A Brief History of Time attempts to explain a range of subjects in cosmology, including the big bang, the black hole and light cones in depth and precision. Its main goal is to attempt to explain some complex mathematics. I would not recommend this book to anyone who has a simple mind. I would very much prefer that you know some background on physics and the equation E=mc2. Not really the equation, actually Stephen explains how e-mc2 works in the book. So you wouldn't really need to know that but just how physics was formed.
I learned alot from this book like Max Plank's quantum theory, and how everything in the universe either has a set history or that everything occurs at random. What I love about this book is that it brings religion into the topic. It made me think that although humans know that there are other planets and that the sky above is actually a bunch of gases mixed together, they still believe in God. Christianity also created a lot of trouble to science for example Galileo was killed for finding different planets and although being christian he was considered a sinner in expanding the knowledge for humanity. In religion there is always talk about the Apocalypse like the world would end in 6/6/06 but did it?... no....well then that would bring the question would the world end in 2012? If it doesn't then science would also be flawed.
If you think about it we accomplish so much without religion, during the Age of Reasoning, without religion there were so much scientific advances, Leonardo da Vinci. There have been advances in thought about ourselves rather than trying to please the one above. I'm not trying to say that religion is bad and that you should give up on religion because I understand that somewhere in the human mind there is a consciousness that wants reason of why they are here and cannot live on just a hypothesis. Even if they have to make it up themselves. Religion i think is an ideology with a set of rules that improve our society. But sometimes doesn't. There are many advantages. Buddhism is a set of rules in which some people live by. More or less a way of living. Its like a set of morals you would have like when you wake up in the morning and you automatically aim for the bathroom. Its a way of living.
Whats funny is that the other day there was a family guy episode called multiverse. It starts off with stewie inventing a dimension traveling device and went to a universe in which there was no religion and that there were so many scientific advances. It ties with the book i read, and my mini rant on religion. Stephen Hawkins described the dimension as a visible aspect in which it is so thin that although it is everywhere we cannot see it. It is a million million million million millionth of an inch.
All of this is just my thoughts or actually the book made me think these things...Don't judge me.
