A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson Full Audiobook
ne of the world’s most beloved writers and New York Times bestselling author of A Walk in the Woods and The Body takes his ultimate journey-into the most intriguing and intractable questions that science seeks to answer.
In A Walk in the Woods, Bill Bryson trekked the Appalachian Trail-well, most of it. In A Sunburned Country, he confronted some of the most lethal wildlife Australia has to offer. Now, in his biggest book, he confronts his greatest challenge: to understand-and, if possible, answer-the oldest, biggest questions we have posed about the universe and ourselves. Taking as territory everything from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization, Bryson seeks to understand how we got from there being nothing at all to there being us. To that end, he has attached himself to a host of the world’s most advanced (and often obsessed) archaeologists, anthropologists, and mathematicians, travelling to their offices, laboratories, and field camps. He has read (or tried to read) their books, pestered them with questions, apprenticed himself to their powerful minds. A Short History of Nearly Everything is the record of this quest, and it is a sometimes profound, sometimes funny, and always supremely clear and entertaining adventure in the realms of human knowledge, as only Bill Bryson can render it. Science has never been more involving or entertaining.

Good book but now very dated.
Don't listen, has ads.
The narrator states that the universe started from "nothing", which is a nonsense claim. There never was a "nothing". The universe/cosmos has likely always existed, in one form or another. And since neither matter nor energy can be created or destroyed, there could never have been "nothing".

Why does the recording get stuck on stupid at the end of each chapter?

Essy to see where Steven fry gets most of his knowledge for Q i

:-)

Thank you for posting - what a crazy cool book. So many things that are connected to each other by discovery I had no idea.
There's also a part two 😊
Thank You So So Much for uploading this ❤ 😊 🙏🏻
Is this the whole book?
Doing gym right now and listening to this feel awesome
Godless so called scientists. Anything but what the bible says.
Well, the Bible is demonstrably incorrect in many, many ways.
@@VioletJoy incorrect to who? And whats incorrect? The bible has stated many facts before modern science found out.
This book is so amazing well the stuff that's written in the book are amazing but the way the book was written in itself was pretty amazing as well
Bill Bryson has a good way of writing that makes subjects interesting and relatable. The one on The Human Body is good too. All his books are good tbh 😂
I've learned more from this book then from school.
Wtf? I listened to this for 10 hrs and it's not complete???? Where's the rest!?
Despite the title saying this is the Full Audibook, I found a MUCH longer version: ua-cam.com/video/dvz6JEjQyPI/v-deo.html
@8:18:00 this book (published in 2003) foresaw the Japan earthquake waiting to happen. Just 7 years later, it happened... A quick Google search revealed that Japan had a 9.0 magnitude earthquake that killed over 19,000. Rest in peace to those caught in that EQ.
😊
Some things in here are already outdated/incorrect but I still really enjoyed this
Why is it that this video has no ads for non paying subscribers? I thought UA-cam forced commercials on all videos now despite content creator wishes?
Bill Bryson's performs John Lennon's "Imagine": You can't Imagine no possessions I know that you can't No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of Man Can't Imagine all the people It's unimaginable (like every other concept in astrophysics apparently...)

This is half the book. The full version of the same audiobook can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/dvz6JEjQyPI/v-deo.html.
Out of all the great knowledge sources I have, this has to be the largest source, Mainly because it's a short history of flipping nearly everything.
Crap

I need to buy this book
Loved this book. Loved the narration. All of Bill Bryson’s books are amazing and in between laughing out loud and chuckling to myself I actually learn things. Love you Bill.
If you apply logic this doesn't work there couldn't have been nothing prior to the big bang since you can't get something from nothing

You lost meat the 0000000000 😂
This is the wrong narrator for this. The guy on "The Mother Tongue" by Bill Bryson audio book fit Bryson MUCH more. This guy sounds like he should be narrating commercials on talk radio. I don't know if I can listen to 9 hours of this, and I love Bryson's writing.
Wonderful wonderful book. So much fascinating information, had to take it in small doses to contemplate the subjects raised. Note for reader though, please dont try Australian accents 🥺😁
I don't need to try... born and bred Aussie. It just comes naturally! 🙄🤣🤠

15:42 part 1
On my page there is a playlist of some interesting videos if you're interested ua-cam.com/play/PLoqWIPevAakfGtyqtojfN9R9oWeokz3Cq.html
...tries to hard to be populist totally forced in style and painful to listen too
What's going on from 2:20:50 to 2:21:08? Was this recorded from a vinyl record?
Great book and narrator. Going to look up the narrator to see what else he's read.
The narrators voice and style is annoying
