First, it took the state of cosmology as a whole and synthesised it, into a bite-sized and comprehensible – if not easily comprehensible – package. It explained Einstein’s theory of relativity: that the universe should be seen not as three-dimensional space evolving through time, but a four-dimensional thing called spacetime, and that gravity distorted this spacetime, so you age more slowly if you’re on the surface of the planet than if you’re in an aeroplane. It explained quantum mechanics, the weird physics that explains the tiny world of atoms and electrons: that you can’t know the position of a particle and its speed at the same time. It explained the past, and future, of the universe, from the big bang, through the fierce “cosmic inflation” of the early years of the universe, to its likely deaths, either by fading out or collapsing and crunching.

The other thing the book does is present Hawking’s own groundbreaking work, into black holes – the baffling “singularities”, stars that have collapsed on themselves and formed matter so dense that the laws of physics break down. They distort spacetime so much as to, in essence, rip it. Hawking showed that black holes are not as “black” as all that – they give off, according to his maths, a form of radiation, now known as Hawking radiation.
