Stephen W. Hawkins, the brilliant professor of mathematics at Cambridge University, authored a popular book about space and time for the lay person. The title of the book is A Brief History of Time. In a studied effort to explain in the simplest terms the nature of scientific theory, Hawkins calls for the development of a universal theory to explain the origin of the universe. Hawkins notes that today scientists describe the universe with two basic partial theories, the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics.
