Was there a beginning of time?
Could time run backwards?
Is the universe infinite or does it have boundaries?

These are just some of the questions considered in an internationally acclaimed masterpiece which begins by reviewing the great theories of the cosmos from Newton to Einstein, before delving into the secrets which still lie at the heart of space and time.

In 1963, Stephen Hawking contracted motor neurone disease and was given two years to live.
