He educated millions of readers about the origins of the universe and the nature of black holes, and inspired millions more by defying a terrifying early prognosis of ALS, which originally gave him only two years to live. In later life he could communicate only by using a few facial muscles, but he continued to advance his field and serve as a revered voice on social and humanitarian issues. Hawking not only unraveled some of the universe's greatest mysteries but also believed science plays a critical role in fixing problems here on Earth. Now he turns his attention to the most urgent issues facing us. Will humanity survive? Should we colonize space? Does God exist? These are just a few of the questions Hawking addresses in this wide-ranging, passionately argued final book from one of the greatest minds in history. Featuring a foreword by Eddie Redmayne, who won an Oscar playing Stephen Hawking, an introduction by Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne, and an afterword from Hawking's daughter, Lucy." --|c(Source of summary not specified) 650 0 Science|xPhilosophy.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85118582 650 0 Philosophy and science.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85101000 650 0 Religion and science.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85112579 650 0 Inquiry (Theory of knowledge)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85066548 650 0 Science|vMiscellanea.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008111306 650 7 Science|xPhilosophy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1108336 650 7 Philosophy and science.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1060832 650 7 Religion and science.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1093848 650 7 Inquiry (Theory of knowledge)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/973795 650 7 Science|xMiscellanea.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1108320 650 7 Science.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1108176 655 7 FAQs.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/ gf2014026101 655 7 FAQs.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919925 655 7 Trivia and miscellanea.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/genreForms/gf2014026201 655 7 Trivia and miscellanea.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1921748 700 1 Redmayne, Eddie,|d1982-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/no2007059823|ewriter of foreword. 700 1 Thorne, Kip S.,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n83826321|ewriter of introduction. 700 1 Hawking, Lucy,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ nr2004020930|ewriter of afterword. 901 MARCIVE 20231220 948 |d20190206|cMH|tconsult overlay|lridm 994 C0|bRID
