Book of the Month

This month's book is the new work from physicist Stephen Hawking: The Grand Design. Another fascinating journey into
time and space from the world's most well known scientist. Again,
Hawking is able to translate complex equations and theories into
plain detail that almost anyone can follow. A sort of follow up to the Theory of Everything , the book once again focuses on the complete picture of the universe. One we have yet to fully fill in.
Much less a history lesson in theoretical physics, Hawking spends more time discussing the present and what future it is leading to.
Bouncing through the many levels of "M-theory", Hawking gives us an idea of what science is planning and where our discoveries are leading us. The complexity and simplicity of the atom and the strangeness of multiple space dimensions beyond the 3 we see everyday. A fantastic read for anyone curious about the world around them.
