The Universe in a Nutshell pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Stephen Hawking’s phenomenal, multimillion-copy bestseller, A Brief History of Time , introduced the ideas of this brilliant theoretical physicist to readers all over the world.
Now, in a major publishing event, Hawking returns with a lavishly illustrated sequel that unravels the mysteries of the major breakthroughs that have occurred in the years since the release of his acclaimed first book.
The Universe in a Nutshell
• Quantum mechanics
• M-theory
• General relativity
• 11-dimensional supergravity
• 10-dimensional membranes
• Superstrings
• P-branes
• Black holes
One of the most influential thinkers of our time, Stephen Hawking is an intellectual icon, known not only for the adventurousness of his ideas but for the clarity and wit with which he expresses them. In this new book Hawking takes us to the cutting edge of theoretical physics, where truth is often stranger than fiction, to explain in laymen’s terms the principles that control our universe.
Like many in the community of theoretical physicists, Professor Hawking is seeking to uncover the grail of science — the elusive Theory of Everything that lies at the heart of the cosmos. In his accessible and often playful style, he guides us on his search to uncover the secrets of the universe — from supergravity to supersymmetry, from quantum theory to M-theory, from holography to duality.
He takes us to the wild frontiers of science, where superstring theory and p-branes may hold the final clue to the puzzle. And he lets us behind the scenes of one of his most exciting intellectual adventures as he seeks “to combine Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and Richard Feynman’s idea of multiple histories into one complete unified theory that will describe everything that happens in the universe.”
With characteristic exuberance, Professor Hawking invites us to be fellow travelers on this extraordinary voyage through space-time. Copious four-color illustrations help clarify this journey into a surreal wonderland where particles, sheets, and strings move in eleven dimensions; where black holes evaporate and disappear, taking their secret with them; and where the original cosmic seed from which our own universe sprang was a tiny nut.
The Universe in a Nutshell is essential reading for all of us who want to understand the universe in which we live. Like its companion volume, A Brief History of Time , it conveys the excitement felt within the scientific community as the secrets of the cosmos reveal themselves.
尽管我有很强的科学背景,这本书有时还是让我头疼。然而,问题是,像这样的书慢慢过时只是因为新的数据。粒子物理学家在大型强子对撞机中探索并发现了许多有趣的东西。引力波的探测为我们进一步了解黑洞和其他超大质量物体创造了许多机会。与本书内容相关的热门科学话题。现在我在想,经历了这一切之后,这本书会发生怎样的变化。
评分作为一个former science major who was banished from the science kingdom, 我还有脸说其实我的偶像一直都是物理学家么,呜呜呜。 还有这个标签是怎么回事……
评分脑洞很大,多维空间的思考还是很有趣的。对数学想象力有点要求,建议看过费曼的QED再看这本,理解起来会容易很多。
评分他们的世界观真让人崩溃
评分有看没有懂但是还是很娱乐系列
我很怀疑,当当网给我发的是盗版书,以我的文化水平居然可以看到不少明显的印刷错误和错别字。不过值得欣慰的是,这些小瑕疵并不能影响我的阅读,因为我根本就看不懂!!!哈哈哈!!! 虽然霍金确实是一个很棒的科普作家,可以将这么多物理前沿理论用尽量通俗易懂的文字和图表...
评分当初拿起这本书是先了解一下这种理论是什么样的,但读了两遍却只能勉强看出一些皮毛。明白了一些极其粗浅的关于时间、空间、关于宇宙的认识,刷新了以往的认知,这些科学家真的是很了不起! 以下是我作为门外汉的一点不切实际的猜想! 书中说时间就像一列小火车在无限的轨道上...
评分其实,挺害怕看这一类书,就像是自己在揭自己的短处,还是采用循序渐进的方式,到最后整本看完时,全身上下被打击的除了一无是处之外,再剩不下什么了。先不说难啃的概念和拗口的叙述,单是每章的题目,就完全可以拒人以千里之外了。对于一个甚至都不算是天文爱好入门者...
评分孩童时期的理想就是当一个天文学家,探究浩瀚的宇宙,名字中有一宇字,更加强化了这种意识,虽然纠结于现实,不得不从事其他工作,但对宇宙的热爱却从未衰减,无奈脑力有限,对于四维空间始终无法理解,好在有本书让我绕开了瓶颈另辟蹊径,感谢。 关键就是——退一步思考。 举...
评分????背景:书名出自《哈姆雷特》——“即使把我关在果壳之中,我仍然可以视自己为无限空间之王。”现代量子宇宙学认为,整个宇宙是由一个果壳状虚时间历史发展来的,果壳上的量子皱纹包含着宇宙中所有结构的密码。 ????主要内容:《时间简史》出版之后霍金的一些主要研究,涉及...
