I read the 1st edition, but if you're going to buy a new one, the newest edition is titled "A Briefer History of Time" (seriously). I've read about 4 books by/about Hawking, and I'm reading a 5th one soon. Oh and if you're a fan of Hawking, astronomy, or cosmology, and you have kids or nieces or something, I suggest you buy them this wonderful children's book: <a href="http://www.georgessecretkey.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.georgessecretkey.com/</a>. It's essentially "A Brief History of Time" for kids. :) It has great illustrations and relatively up to date info on the origins of the universe and such. About that game regarding snakes and wormholes, pretty nice idea....It does update the game "snakes and ladders" for the 21st century no? keep them up guys. :) @wes

Relativity is such an interesting topic. I hope to do an article about it someday. @Frank Could you clarify a bit further? Perhaps I'm not aware of those (more recent?) theories, but AFAIK wormholes are still quite alive and supported not only in the sci-fi arena but in the scientific community as well. @daniel

I think you mean "Brief History of Time" instead of "Universe"? Or am I mistaken? Yes "Parallel Worlds", as well as the newer "Physics of the Impossible" will do as well, though not much has changed in the layman's explanation. @wes
