TODAY'S BOOK
A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking
Stephen Hawking has been in the news a lot this past week. This follows the release of his new bestseller, The Grand Design (co-authored by Leonard Mlodinow, with whom he had also written A Briefer History of Time). Specifically the words "Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist. It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going," are being quoted widely.
