Abstract


Explaining science to the layman is a task in itself and is typically referred to as popular science. Stephen Hawking, a living legend of our times, 'reigns supreme' in the field of 'popular science', be it either through television shows or through authoring various books on science. Presented here is a review of one of his recent books The Grand Design, co-authored along with another expert of popular science Leonard Mlodinow. At this stage, one must keep in mind that one of the aims of metaphysics is to prove or disprove the presence of God, and thereby explain scientifically the origin of this Universe.
