Grand design. Stephen Hawking & Leonard Mlodinow. 2011.

When and how did the universe begin? Why are we here? Is the apparent ‘grand design’ of our universe evidence for a benevolent creator who set things in motion? Or does science offer another explanation? In Grand Design, the most recent scientific thinking about the mysteries of the universe is presented in language marked by both brilliance nd simplicity. Model dependent realism, the multiverse, the top-down theory of cosmological, and the unified M theory - all are revealed here.
