Book review: The Theory of Everything, part 2

In this episode, I dabble in lectures 3 through 5 of Stephen Hawking’s book, ‘The Theory of Everything’. We are talking Hawking’s shocking explanations of stars, black holes, and the Big Bang! Hawking tells a joke about the pope. I explain surface area using a baseball as an analogy — sports! I even ruminate briefly on how I imagine an infinite universe.  00:00 Intro 00:54 Lecture 3 09:13 Lecture 4 14:50 Lecture 5 Cover image from NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio, public domain (https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14619 ).
