I never cared for theorists who sit around theorizing about the universe and then write books about their "theories", which to me sound like conspiracy theories, based in pure fantasy. This fictional account of the universe would fit into that category. The way this book presents Hawking as the next Einstein is annoying. Black holes, expanding universe, Big Bang theory, this book is pure propaganda. Plato's Allegory of the Cave is more based in truth than anything to be found in this book.
