Which of these bizarre phenomena, if any, can really exist in our universe? Black holes, down which anything can fall but from which nothing can return; wormholes, short spacewarps connecting regions of the cosmos; singularities, where space and time are so violently warped that time ceases to exist and space becomes a kind of foam; gravitational waves, which carry symphonic accounts of collisions of black holes billions of years ago; and time machines, for traveling backward and forward in time. Kip Thorne, along with fellow theorists Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose, a cadre of Russians, and earlier scientists such as Oppenheimer, Wheeler and Chandrasekhar, has been in the thick of the quest to secure answers. In this masterfully written and brilliantly informed work of scientific history and explanation, Dr. Thorne, the Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech, leads his readers through an elegant, always human, tapestry of interlocking themes, coming finally to a uniquely informed answer to the great question: what principles control our universe and why do physicists think they know the things they think they know? Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time has been one of the greatest best-sellers in publishing history. Anyone who struggled with that book will find here a more slowly paced but equally mind-stretching experience, with the added fascination of a rich historical and human component.
Kip Thorne is the Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics Emeritus at Caltech, an executive producer for Interstellar, and the author of books including the bestselling Black Holes and Time Warps. He lives in Pasadena, California.
愚人节,在Chopin琴曲的陪伴下,看完了《黑洞与时间弯曲》。 海伯利安的开头,领事在雷暴雨里弹钢琴;星际穿越里的配乐都是钢琴的琴声,我在读这本书的时候,逐渐感受到: 钢琴曲和深邃的宇宙如此匹配,是不是因为宇宙就是一张不断颤抖着的钢琴呢? 没有想象中的枯燥,虽然的确...
评分很惭愧,这样一本独一无二的书,我最近才把它读完。实在非常后悔我没有在做研究生的时候读完这本书。不过现在读完,对正在改革开放的我仍然有很大的影响。 买到这本书的时候我还是个物理学的大一新生,被书中的精彩的插图吸引才花钱把它从图书大厦的殿堂请到我...
评分读过好些本第一推动系列,这本感觉是很认真的以专业口吻在科普,甚至是循循善诱的导师对弟子的感觉。 因为已经看过了《星际穿越》,其实这本书序言和零散在各章的有许多星际穿越的故事碎片和理论探讨。读这本书,不觉得是被科普,而觉得随着索恩一起到引力的殿堂中去,感觉应...
评分这是一本带你初入物理天堂的好书。 首先,对于一个文科生而言,这是一本能够带给你很多“新鲜”知识的好书。作者开始讲一个故事开始,而后从介绍近现代的物理理论史娓娓道来,可以说是囊括了整个物理学界在近代史的发展脉络,以前我只知道爱因斯坦很牛,简直就是心...
