The book “Brief Answers to the Big Questions” by Stephen Hawking was incomplete when the author passed away in March 2018. A review at physicsworld.com by Matin Durrani shares:

Hawking was still working on Brief Answers to the Big Questions when he died last March. To fill the gaps, the publishers decided to draw on Hawking’s “enormous personal archive” of responses he’d given as speeches, interviews, essays and articles to the many questions people had asked him. The book was then completed in collaboration with “his academic colleagues, his family and the Stephen Hawking Estate”. A percentage of the royalties are earmarked for the Motor Neurone Disease Association and the Stephen Hawking Foundation.

Eddie Redmayne, Oscar-winning actor, who portrayed Stephen Hawking in the 2014 film, The Theory of Everything, shared in the foreword to the book:

We have lost a truly beautiful mind, an astonishing scientist and the funniest man I have ever had the pleasure to meet.

Let us get to know the man and his ideas!
