Sheesh, thats fast! So, whats the title mean? Well I assume you have not read A Brief History of Time by Prof. Steven W. Hawking then?! If you had have done [and actually understood it!] then you'd know what 0.000000003335640952 seconds stands for! Well let me enlighten you a little [no pun intended!] 0.000000003335640952 seconds is actually the time it takes for light to travel a distance of only 1 metre.

He has 12 honorary degree's and was awarded ...

Science is great. I love science, me. I don’t know why this is, but I’ve always been fascinated with puzzles and things that are science based.

While the first problem isn’t necessarily a science-based thing, but rather a combination of local knowledge and logical thinking, these ...

There are likely to be two reactions on the face of a layman when they are told that they really SHOULD read 'A Brief History Of Time.' The first is stupefied horror that they could even hope to understand such a complex subject by such an eminent scientific figure. Why you might as well suggest they develop their OWN theory of cosmic creation! The other is likely to be a snort of derision for anyone presuming they could write a history of the whole of time in what is, let us be honest, a relatively slim volume. Both opinions are really all so much tommyrot. This book is an absolute gem. The subject matter is, despite the title, not so much a ...
