Stephen hawking the grand design blog review

           When did the world and the universe begin? Who created this world and why? Those are the main questions that we as humans and even as readers have in our everyday lives. As long as I could remember I have always thought about those two questions. No matter how hard I tried there is no real answer that i could believe in or trust. But Stephen Hawking has spent his entire life's work on finding the answer of those questions threw physic's and mathematical equations. As a result of all those years he has now pored all his ideas into one book. With one main mission to try to tell people his theory of the beginning of what we call the universe! The real idea of it isn't really saying that there is no such thing as god, but simply saying that this is just a scientific idea not a absolute answer. He states threw science that something comes from nothing, rather than something coming from something. Which didn't make sense at all, because when I got really interested into this subject a few years ago. Other books from Nobel winning scientist's either have stated that something comes from something or it all has happened threw "The Big Bang", but not really ever telling you how did the big bang really occurred. To me this book has opened a lot of new doors and with Stephen Hawking showing how to explain something really difficult and make it sound really understandable. Which is a first for me because last time I read a book in this genre i could only understand half of it, but with this book I could understand the book in a macro perspective rather than a micro perspective!
