The Universe in a Nutshell pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 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.
腦洞很大,多維空間的思考還是很有趣的。對數學想象力有點要求,建議看過費曼的QED再看這本,理解起來會容易很多。
評分盡管我有很強的科學背景,這本書有時還是讓我頭疼。然而,問題是,像這樣的書慢慢過時隻是因為新的數據。粒子物理學傢在大型強子對撞機中探索並發現瞭許多有趣的東西。引力波的探測為我們進一步瞭解黑洞和其他超大質量物體創造瞭許多機會。與本書內容相關的熱門科學話題。現在我在想,經曆瞭這一切之後,這本書會發生怎樣的變化。

很烧脑。本来就不好懂,翻译得又很别扭,插图还都不在应该在的地方,来来回回地翻。纸张质量很好,但是反光啊,看不清文字,本来就晕乎,搞得眼花缭乱更晕乎了。“科普"基本是蒙人的。自认为物理专业的研究生起点应该不低,但是读起来还是很费劲,并不浅显。烧脑完后基本也没啥...
評分喜欢读宇宙和哲学,因为我想知道我是谁。从物质到精神。结果这两方面都不是常人能理解的啊。看了不少有关方面的书,而且我还是物理专业的。可是还是表示很多很多不解。看来的确不是一个层次的。不过这种在好奇中读书还蛮不错的。这种阅读就像是听鸟鸣闻花香,虽然不知其中含义...
