About the Book The universe holds a lot of mysteries that are way beyond the abilities of a normal person to unravel. But, fortunately, the great mathematician and theoretical physicist, Professor Stephen Hawking has simplified some of those mysteries for us to understand. In his posthumous work, Brief Answers to the Big Questions, Stephen Hawking tries to answer some of the most frequently-asked questions, such as, “How did the universe begin?” and “Is there life beyond our solar system?”, among others. About the Author Born exactly 300 years after Galileo’s death, Professor Stephen William Hawking was an English mathematician and theoretical physicist. Hawking always wanted to pursue mathematics, but since it wasn’t available at University College he chose to pursue physics. In 1963, Hawking was diagnosed with ALS. But, that didn’t stop him from fulfilling his destiny and he went to receive as many as 13 honorary degrees. His noted works include A Brief History of Time, Brief Answers to the Big Questions and The Grand Design, among others.
