what is the book "A Brief History of Time" about?

Question

i dont understand a lot of it can someone explain it to me

Answer 1

It's basically a layman's guide to the creation of the universe as theorized by Stephen Hawking. Even though it's written to be readable by people without a background in astrophysics, it can be a tedious read and sometimes the concepts can be difficult to wrap your head around (So says my girlfriend).

Answer 2

It is an amazing book that gives an explanation to such cosmological events as the "big bang" quantum mechanics in the Planck era, gravitational constant, and explains much of astronomy in a very easy way. Often times people with out a background in advanced mathematics have a hard time understanding the connection of space/time, but he explains it with out calculations.
It is a great book.
