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.
本书作者Kip Thorne是前两年诺兰的硬科幻力作《星际穿越》的科学顾问,更是LIGO引力波探测项目的主要发起者。自2009年从加州理工退休以后,他就开始从事写作和影视事业。在此之前,他就已经对面向大众解释伤人脑筋的相对论充满兴趣,这本《黑洞与时间弯曲》是这位理论大家对科...
評分 評分确实是一本非常有趣的书,关于宇宙奇点(黑洞中心)的描述让人想入非非,大爆炸既然源于奇点,产生于一个时空极大扭曲、没有体积、能量极大的“点”,匪夷所思。。。 然而老子开篇也有一段关于天地宇宙的论述:道可道,非常道,名可名,非常名;有,名天地之始,无,名天地之母.....
評分很少有人能像本書作者基普.索恩這樣對物理學發展史和關鍵概念舉重若輕。就像書中的一句話所說的——如果我們不能用簡單的思想或語言描述物理學,說明我們還沒有真正搞懂它。 天體物理學(加之高能物理學)對普羅大眾而言本應是一個難題,然而這本書卻是出奇的清晰曉...
我看過的唯一一本黑洞書。。。。。。
评分Kip Thorne是個瞭不起的作傢,閱讀體驗太好瞭
评分Best astrophysics book for me!
评分比較好的學院派科普,時候想要從事這方麵工作的人閱讀。
