My timing in reading this book coincided with my exploration of philosophy books. Surprisingly, Hawking provided scientific answers to philosophical questions—how cool is that? He made me realize that scientists are not just looking for answers to new questions; they are finding new ways to obtain those answers. With the advancement of technology, they can provide precise and universal answers applicable to all beings and non-beings, such as atoms.

Despite my dislike for physics, I loved this book. This book is not just about physics. If you have any interest in philosophy, the universe, human history, or our future, then there's a good chance you might like this book. Some chapters get technical, but I skimmed through them, and so can you. It was refreshing to learn about a scientific approach towards humanity.

I wish we taught physics to kids in this manner. Hawking really made it simple enough for anyone to understand, with each chapter starting with a question. Our school textbooks, on the other hand, start with answers. Hawking shows how little those answers matter if you're not interested in the question.

I recommend this book to EVERYONE living on planet Earth.
