Besides daily newspapers, I don't read nearly enough so one of my New Year's resolution is trying to read a book each month. I had a similar resolution 2 or 3 years ago but was just "to read more"...didn't turn out that great. The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking is first book towards this resolution. It's a New York Times Best Seller and a pretty interesting, well-written book so far. Although this book was written at the lowest possible technical level, parts of it can get real "science-y", especially when discussing theories of quantum physics. Aside from the scientific aspect, reading this book makes you question human existence, paints a picture of how big the universe actually is and gives you a sense of how small we actually are. Definitely some next level shit.
This video was made by the American Museum of Natural History, awesome job, deep stuff.
