By focusing on the essentials, Freistetter deftly and entertainingly makes Hawking's complex theoretical accomplishments understandable. Avoiding technicalities and jargon, he elucidates the great scientist's fascinating work on black holes, gravitational waves, the big bang, and singularities. Concluding with an appreciation of Hawking as a science communicator and popularizer, Freistetter conveys the importance of Hawking's scientific research in terms that nonspecialists can follow.
Florian Freistetter is an award-winning freelance science journalist and the author of six popular-science books on astronomy, including Isaac Newton- The Asshole Who Reinvented the Universe. He has also published more than five thousand articles on his blog, "Astrodicticum Simplex," one of the most-read German-language science blogs, and he writes a weekly column about mathematics for spektrum.de, as well as many other articles for various publications. Since 2015, he has produced and performed in humorous popular-science presentations in theaters in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland and also on television ("Science Busters") and he publishes a weekly podcast on astronomy. He has previously taught astronomy at the University of Heidelberg, Jena, and Vienna.
