The Large Scale Structure of Spacetime

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Large Scale Structure of Spacetime is a book written by Stephen Hawking and George Ellis, published in 1973 by Cambridge University Press.

(The title has no hyphen in "large scale", unlike another book on a similar topic by the same publisher.)

The Large Scale Structure of Spacetime is an in-depth 600 page long science book co-written by Stephen Hawking. The principles rely heavily on theoretical physics. Stephen attempts to describe the foundation of space itself and its nature of infinite expansion, mathematically as well as theoretically.

Hawking co-wrote the book while a professor at Oxford university. In his 1993 book A Brief History of Time, he derides The Large Scale Structure of Spacetime as "highly technical and quite unreadable," and advises readers to not seek it out.
