    According to the author, the purpose of this book is to picture the universe and by doing so, separating wheat from chaff in the scientific theories. I liked it because even when I did not understand a whole bunch of it, I could grasp that our universe came to existence and is going to a big nothingness. There is no purpose or goal in any of what we do, and therefore, we must do the best we can with what we have, because there is no real point in suffering or bad behaviour. Another thing I liked a lot is the idea that the universe is kind of "running" from us, and that it doesn't matter how fast science advances, we will be always billions of years behind any possibly observable phenomenon; hence we are doomed when our goal is to explain these kind of cosmological things.

    I thought the author will be kind enough to explain why gravity is negative energy and exactly how it balance all other forces to make the universe essentially zero mass and zero energy... well... he did explained why a flat universe mean gravity nullify all positive energy... but a very shallow explanation... make me wonder if the physicist really figured out all the details and reasons why.

    Maybe, brilliant scientist like him and Richard Darkin could spend less time wrestling with those evangelists lar!
