Ich habe mich bislang immer ein bisschen vor Hawking gedrückt, also zumindest vor seinen Büchern für Erwachsene. Die Brief Questions sind ein toller Einstieg, würde ich sagen, da es jeweils nur um eine Frage und die Antwort darauf geht. Das geht manchmal trotzdem schon sehr in die Tiefe, was Quantenphysik & Co. angeht und diesem Buch würde es sicher nicht schaden, wenn man es mehrfach liest. Aber schon beim ersten Durchlauf waren ein paar echte Aha-Effekte bei Themen wie Zeitreise, schwarzen Löchern und der Besiedlung anderer Planeten dabei. Mr. Hawking hat jedenfalls nicht davor zurückgeschreckt, die ganz großen Fragen zu stellen und seriös und manchmal auch sehr witzig zu beantworten. Hilft definitiv, neue Perspektiven auf viele aktuelle Diskussionen zu entdecken und einen eigenen Standpunkt zu finden. Klare Empfehlung für jeden, der Physik in der Schule nicht abgrundtief gehasst hat. Obwohl... dann vielleicht gerade erst recht!

The final book Brief Answers to the Big Questions unravels mysteries and gives answers to theoretical questions everyone one of us has asked themselves at least once. What’s the future of humanity? When can we finally time travel! Will we colonize space? Shouldwe colonize space? Does God exist and is there intelligent life in the universe? It’s written for everyone – understandable and easy. It’s a nice compilation with a foreword from (and read by) Eddie Redmayne. The afterword is from (and read by) his daughter Lucy. A large part of the book focusses on theoretical physics and black holes. But also talks about the responsibility we have as a species. Be it to our (ONLY) planet or to the quest beyond the borders of our solar system. I read it with mixed feelings – sad because it’s the last book by Stephen Hawking - and excited because I love Stephen Hawking talking about things he’s passionate about. Don’t miss out on this book. It’s a good start if you intend to read his other works!
