Black holes are stranger than anything dreamed up by science fiction writers.” In 2016 Professor Stephen Hawking delivered the BBC Reith Lectures on a subject that fascinated him for decades – black holes. In these flagship lectures the legendary physicist argued that if we could only understand black holes and how they challenge the very nature of space and time, we could unlock the secrets of the universe. Review: Great lecture - Interesting lectures. It seems to me to be humbling to give a review on lectures given by the great mind of Stephen Hawking. He steps to levels of insight that the rest of us barely can recognise the existence of such ideas. But saying that, here goes. Great lectures, provocative and maybe wrong. This is obviously the case, as all human understanding by all humans has the capacity to be wrong. I read these lectures with an open mind, and great admiration. They prompted lateral and not so lateral thinking. We are all limited by our human ability to understand things. Fantastic book. Highly recommended. Review: Black holes - Great scientific book that makes good reading for the curious at heart. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children over 36 months - Black Holes: The Reith Lectures Book - Reading books is a kind of enjoyment - This product will be an excellent pick for you ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 250,607 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 534 in Astronomy (Books) 5,106 in Earth Sciences & Geography 5,859 in Scientific, Technical & Medical | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 8,429 Reviews | ## Images ![Black Holes: The Reith Lectures - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81DAK5xNjQL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great lecture *by N***R on 29 August 2026* Interesting lectures.

I am also a Cambridge alumni; missed Stephen Hawking by some 7 years. I would have loved to have read his thinking on the recently discovered Big Ring and Great Arc. ## Frequently Bought Together - Black Holes The Reith Lectures - A Brief History of Time - THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/48161608-black-holes-the-reith-lectures](https://www.desertcart.at/products/48161608-black-holes-the-reith-lectures) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-11-14*
