Synopsis "Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays"

THIRTEEN EXTRAORDINARY ESSAYS SHED NEW LIGHT ON THE MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVERSE...AND ON ONE OF THE MOST BRILLIANT THINKERS OF OUR TIME. In his phenomenal bestseller A Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking literally transformed the way we think about physics, the universe, reality itself. Now, in these thirteen essays and one remarkable extended interview, the man widely regarded as the most brilliant theoretical physicist since Einstein returns to reveal an amazing array of possibilities for our understanding of the universe. Building on his earlier work, Hawking discusses imaginary time, how black holes can give birth to baby universes, and schientists' efforts to find a complete unified theory that would predict everything in the universe. He also reflects on the value of life and his perceptions of death; looks at how science theory converges with-and diverges from-science fiction; and in several fascinating and candid autobiographical pieces describes the way in wich ALS-Lou Gehrig's diseaase-has affected but not constrained his personal and intellectual life. With his characteristic mastery of language, his sense of humor and commitment to plain speaking, Stephen Hawking invites us in this book to know him better-and to share his passion for the voyage of intellect and imagination that has opened new ways to understanding the very nature of the cosmos. 'Succinct, illuminating,and-considering the inherently baffing nature of contemporary cosmology-remarkably easy to read.' -The Wall Street Journal 'A second chance at enlightenment...[Hawking] deftly unravels... complex matters in simple, lay language...Very readable.' -San Francisco Chronicle

Ocupó, hasta 2009, la cátedra Lucasiana de Matemáticas que en otro tiempo tuvo Newton en la Universidad de Cambridge, y fue condecorado con el Premio Príncipe de Asturias de la Concordia en 1989. Reconocido universalmente como uno de los más grandes físicos teóricos del mundo, el profesor Hawking ha escrito, pese a sus enormes limitaciones físicas, docenas de artículos que significan en conjunto una aportación a la ciencia que aún no somos capaces de evaluar adecuadamente. A su primera obra de divulgación, Historia del tiempo. Del big bang a los agujeros negros (Crítica, 1988) y El universo en una cáscara de nuez (Crítica, 2002), se le suman Brevísima historia del tiempo —escrita con Leonard Mlodinow— y las antologías A hombros de gigantes. Las grandes obras de la Física y la Astronomía (Crítica 2003), la edición ilustrada de esta última obra (Crítica 2004), Dios creó los números. Los descubrimientos matemáticos que cambiaron la Historia (Crítica 2006) y La gran ilusión. Las grandes obras de Albert Einstein (Crítica, 2008).
