ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Grand Design" by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow takes readers on a journey through the history of scientific inquiry, examining humanity's persistent questions about the universe and our place within it. The authors explore how our understanding of the cosmos has evolved from ancient myths to modern physics, highlighting key scientific revolutions and the development of natural laws. They delve into the intricacies of quantum theory and M-theory, suggesting a radical view that the universe may not have a single history or even an independent existence. The book grapples with the fundamental questions of why there is something rather than nothing and whether the apparent fine-tuning of the universe implies a designer or if the multiverse offers a scientific explanation.
