Stephen Hawking is arguably the most famous scientist in the world, and many of us may know that black holes are his forte, but do we really have any idea what a black hole is?

Just a few or the big ideas featured in Hawking & Black Holes are:
-- How the universe originated and what this has to do with black holes
-- How the big bang actually worked
-- Why black holes aren't actually black
-- Is a Unified Theory of Everything possible (the ultimate Big Idea)?
