I just noticed that each book is a little old, and am wondering if there are any inconsistencies i should be aware of that have been discovered or proven recently.

Just got: "A brief history of time (updated version)" and "The universe in a nutshell".

Haven't had a chance to really read either, except for the first chapter in "a brief history of time", are they good books?

UNIVERSE IN A NUTSHELL...That is a good book. It is not a long book but a deep book. Expect to do a lot of thinking. biggrin.gif

Believe me, from personal experience, a wheelchair is not something you want to have to have.

It's "Hawking," not "Hawkings." The spelling is right there in the thread title!

And if you're looking for stuff written by him, it would help to search for articles authored by him, not articles containing his name.
