Physicist Stephen Hawking suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. The condition has progressed to the point where he can no longer speak for himself. Hawking, therefore, uses a voice synthesizer to deliver this series of popular lectures on black holes, current physics theories, and the nature of time and space. The synthesizer paces sentences oddly and slurs an occasional word; Hawking jokes about being unable to get rid of its American accent. However, listeners will soon adapt to the oddities of delivery, and once they do, will find themselves inspired by the sweep and clarity of Hawking's mind, and by his warmth and bravery.

With a title inspired as much by Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker series as Einstein, The Theory of Everything delivers almost as much as it promises. Transcribed from Stephen Hawking's Cambridge Lectures, the slim volume may not present a single theory unifying gravity with the other fundamental forces, but it does carefully explain the state of late 20th-century physics with the great scientist's characteristic humility and charm. Explicitly shunning math, Hawking explains the fruits of 100 years of heavy thinking with metaphors that are simple but never condescending--he compares the settling of the newborn universe into symmetry to the formation of ice crystals in a glass of water, for example. While he explores his own work (especially when speaking about black holes), he also discusses the important milestones achieved by others like Richard Feynman. Though occasionally an impenetrably obscure phrase does slip by, the reader will find the bulk of the text enlightening and engaging. The material, from the nature of time to the possibility that the universe has no beginning or end, is rich and deep and inevitably ignites metaphysical thinking. After all, Hawking is famous for his "we would know the mind of God" remark, which ends the final lecture herein. --Rob Lightner --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

说出来我自己都不信,这居然是我认真读完的第一本霍金的著作——要知道,他成名很久了。想想原因,一是曾经也看过《时间简史》,看了没多久看不下去了,有点难懂,就放弃了;二是当时兴趣也不大,没有看下去的动力,当然这是最主要的。 而现在为什么能看完呢,一是得益于大刘,...

比《时间简史》、《大设计》、《果壳中的宇宙》翻译得好多了。 内容简洁易懂,用语科学规范,译者(原上海天文台馆长赵君亮)对援助中出现的小错误给予了准确的注释。 剩下的字只是为了凑数字了,否则没办法发布…………………………⋯………………………………………………...

关于广义相对论和黑洞,宇宙学的科普。虽然很多来龙去脉非常熟悉,快速重温一遍仍是值得的。读霍金的书不必在乎他的名气,只看他想要讨论的内容即可。

评分

在扇贝上读的英文本,当然不是很懂。大体的脉络能了解。拥有宇宙视角可以让你看淡很多纷纷扰扰。所有人类的事情从宇宙的尺度来看,你肯定会淡然很多。

文本难度倒不大...时空类科幻片概念手册

评分

宇宙简史和时间简史有许多重合之处,但显然时间简史是更专业化更细化了。就算不能真正弄明白,却可以与天才的大脑有短暂的碰撞,借天才之耳静听宇宙回响。

一定要再读读中文版 虽然读起来有些吃力 对于文科生来说也算走出舒适区拓宽眼界了 我爱浩瀚宇宙 致敬霍金先生#1904
