Review: A Brief History of Time

A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

At this point reading this is more a chance to see how much of the book is still true and how much has changed. Of course, I'm the wrong person to do that since I know next to nothing of new scientific discoveries.

Having said that, I did find many of the explanations very clarifying. For example, I always knew nothing could travel faster than the speed of light, but his explanation of how this is because any object gains more mass as the speed increases and at the speed of light its mass would be infinite, is much more clear than anything else I've ever heard.

So it was a great review of everything we knew about science when it was written. It would be nice to have an update.
