A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawkins

A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawkings explains how the universe works, covering topics like time, black holes, gravity and how everything began. It doesn't tell a story but instead it breaks down big scientific ideas and theories, showing how scientists try to understand the universe and what questions are still unanswered.

This book was interesting to read, it is defintely for a more general audience rather than someone who might be a physicists. I enjoyed the parts about black holes and time, but sometimes the topics discussed were very unintuitive, meaning it was tough to fully grasp the material. It was not an easy read, but it makes you think about things you normally wouldn't. I'd recommend it if you're curious about space and okay with putting in some effort to understand it.
