Скачать или смотреть A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking's seminal work, A Brief History of Time, and related cosmological concepts, alongside biographical details and subsequent revisions of his theories. The sources explore the historical development of cosmology, contrasting ancient geocentric models with modern physics, including the move from absolute time to Einstein's relativity and the discovery of the expanding universe via Hubble's observations. A major theme is the role of quantum mechanics and the uncertainty principle in challenging classical determinism, emphasizing the need for a unified theory to reconcile general relativity and quantum mechanics. Finally, some sources discuss Hawking's later change of mind about his original theories, the philosophical implications of cosmology concerning God and the universe's origin, and the enduring challenge of popularizing complex physics concepts for a general audience.
