A Brief History of Time is a popular science non-fiction book written by Stephen Hawking. It was written to make the esoteric subject of astrophysics (and theories about how the universe began) accessible to laypeople, with minimal technical jargon. The book begins with an introduction to physics concepts such as gravity and black holes, and concludes with analysis and search for a grand unifying theory (GUT).

The version of the book he is reading is likely the tenth anniversary edition published in 1998, as the first top line of white text indicating the edition name is visible in the screencap, and that version has a gold cover.[1] [2] [3]
