It is an awson writing, yet I couldn’t help all along, the need to communicate with whoever could listen UPTHERE. Our Earth, a tiny bit particle, within billions and bilions of universes, we, the people, with all our differences, our question will not answered as yet. Yet this book should be given to schools, to all schools, all over our planet, it is time that science and philosoph get together.

This book collects the scientific thoughts and evidence-based conclusions from one of the most rational and gifted minds in the recorded history of human kind. Although the book maintains the same super engaging and impressive narrative of previous books by Dr. Hawking, this ones converges specifically on his science-based conclusions about the “big questions”.

Ten short essays addressing perhaps the most fundamental questions of our era. Each is addressed with profound wisdom and great clarity. Fact is clearly separated from opinion, and the opinions are presented with respect. Writing a book as good as this would be a crowning lifetime achievement for many of us. That it was a relatively lightweight spinoff from his real work underscores his genius.
