“So remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don't just give up. Unleash your imagination. Shape the future.”
As always, Stephen, with your intelligence, eloquence, wit and empathy, you have floored me. You will be missed. Couldn't look at your picture at the end of the book without breaking into tears.
I'd be lying if I said I understood all of this book, but it was nice to be blinded by science and leave it feeling just a little bit more clever.
Haven't read the brief history of time, so this one was Stephen's first book I read.
The book offers brief (profound nonetheless) answers to possibly the ten biggest questions we as humans could ask.
He does not waiver when conveying his thoughts about God, and just states the facts for what they are, plain old science.
Am not the only person who has admired this genius for a long long time.
I may not have understood all that he has said in his documentaries or his book, but just the fact that a human being, despite all the odds not being in his favor, has contributed to understanding the universe and is considered Newton and Einstein's peer all done in borrowed time, is a super hero.
To quote Obama, Have fun out there among the stars.
