The first 2 chapters were good and after that It went downhill.Used to get distracted often while listening to the audiobook..maybe because this is my first non-fiction book and looks like its not my cup of tea 😅

We will describe how M-theory may offer answers to the question of creation. According to M-theory, ours is not the only universe. Instead, M-theory predicts that a great many universes were created out of nothing. Their creation does not require the intervention of some supernatural being or god. Rather, these multiple universes arise naturally from physical law. They are a prediction of science. Each universe has many possible histories and many possible states at later times, that is, at times like the present, long after their creation. Most of these states will be quite unlike the universe we observe and quite unsuitable for the existence of any form of life. Only a very few would allow creatures like us to exist. Thus our presence selects out from this vast array only those universes that are compatible with our existence. Although we are puny and insignificant on the scale of the cosmos, this makes us in a sense the lords of creation.

Stephen Hawking. Along with Dawkins, makes one of the most inspiring writers of the era. Though mostly scientific, he manages to get the science into the minds of any person. He takes us through a journey of stars and galaxies while cautiously wading through the little quirks of physics like Quantum theory and QED. It was an amazing read and I might as well read it again for the goosebumps!

“but perhaps the true miracle is that abstract considerations of logic lead to a unique theory that predicts and describes a vast universe full of the amazing variety that we see.”

The content was good for the topics I knew (although it wasn't enough), so I can be sure that the introduction of the topics I didn't know was also good (which includes almost everything in it related to quantum superpositions.)
Could have been a bit focused on the mathematical side of things.

A bit more philosophical than his other books. He also makes grander claims here than elsewhere.

الكتاب جيد بشكل عام وخصوصا فصول ميكانيكا الكم، ولا يخلو من حس الفكاهة.
