TOW #21 - IRB halfway review - Universe in a Nutshell, Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking is widely considered to be one of, if not the, greatest living scientists. His contributions to math science, and theoretical physics are undeniably earth-shattering. He is also known to have sent John Oliver to the hospital with one of the sickest burns of all time, especially for a theoretical physicist. His book, The Universe in a Nutshell, is about the universe and some popular theoretical physics concepts that are prominent in today's science world. He presents these theories masterfully, imparting the complexity and brilliance of the theories in language that a filthy 11th grade peasant like me could understand. Hi Caroline. He presents these with as much evidence as possible, and his analysis of that evidence is very clear, concise, and detailed. So far, he has described the backing of quantum physics, M theory, superstrings, and Multidimensional theory. He goes about this by citing several studies and displaying the mathematical calculations and equations that have been made so far to describe these. With precision, he breaks down the implications of these studies skillfully and with great patience. With the equations, he breaks them down better than freaking CPM did for the precalc curriculum. His efforts to make this book readable by the general public go quite a way - so far, this book has been fantastically easy to understand, yet still interesting and engaging.
