I was gutted when I heard about it, a brief history of time is a fantastic read, it was aimed at someone who has no knowledge of scientific theories but it definitely helps if you have a strong interest and have some knowledge of the shit he goes into.

I actually blame him for my obsession with space, the universe, multiverse, aliens and especially black holes, them things fucking amaze me.

For instance the last few nights I've been watching documentaries on the simulation theory and the precise value of nothing, just last week I spent 3 hours watching documentaries about time.

Cheers Stephen for turning me into a full on geek
