Book of The Day

A Brief History of Time : From the
Big Bang to Black Holes
The most important ideas in this book are the beginning of the world and the
end of the world. Stephen explains the Big bang in-depth talking about how the
universe was complete matter before it all started and time didn't even exist. Then
Stephen goes on to 14 million years later talking about gravitational collapse and
when the universe is going to be drawn in by a massive Black Hole. He mentions
though that it would be very difficult to construct a complete unified theory of
everything in the universe all combined together. In this case our science is limited,
and it would take thousands of years to understand the concept of why human nature
exists.

Use the process of elimination!

more and your chances of getting the answer right are 25%
or better.
