In the intervening years there have been extraordinary advances in our understanding of the space and time. The technology for observing the micro- and macro-cosmic world has developed in leaps and bounds.
During the same period cosmology and the theoretical sciences have entered a new golden age and Professor Stephen Hawking has been at the heart of this new scientific renaissance.

quantum mechanics
to
time travel
,
black holes

uncertainty theory
and the search for science's Holy Grail - unified field theory (or in layman's terms
the 'theory of absolutely everything'
),
Professor Hawking once more takes us to the cutting edge of modern thinking.
