Take advantage of an opportunity to explore the cosmos with the greatest mind since Einstein. This series of lectures introduces the listener to "the history of ideas about the Universe" as well as presenting today's most important scientific theories about time, space, and the nature of the cosmos. In these lectures, Professor Hawking - who transformed our view of the universe in his landmark book A Brief History of Time - explores the most complex theories of physics, both past and present, yet the lectures remain clear and accessible.
