Are there other dimensions beyond our own? Is time travel possible? Can we change the past? Are there gateways to parallel universes? All of us have pondered such questions, but there was a time when scientists dismissed these notions as outlandish speculations. Not any more. Today, they are the focus of the most intense scientific activity in recent memory. In Hyperspace, Michio Kaku, author of the widely acclaimed Beyond Einstein and a leading theoretical physicist, offers the first book-length tour of the most exciting (and perhaps most bizarre) work in modern physics, work which includes research on the tenth dimension, time warps, black holes, and multiple universes. The theory of hyperspace (or higher dimensional space) - and its newest wrinkle, superstring theory - stand at the center of this revolution, with adherents in every major research laboratory in the world, including several Nobel laureates. Beginning where Hawking's Brief History of Time left off, Kaku paints a vivid portrayal of the breakthroughs now rocking the physics establishment. Why all the excitement? As the author points out, for over half a century, scientists have puzzled over why the basic forces of the cosmos - gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces - require markedly different mathematical descriptions. But if we see these forces as vibrations in a higher dimensional space, their field equations suddenly fit together like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle, perfectly snug, in an elegant, astonishingly simple form. This may thus be our leading candidate for the Theory of Everything. If so, it would be the crowning achievement of 2,000 years of scientific investigation into matter and itsforces. Already, the theory has inspired several thousand research papers, and has been the focus of over 200 international conferences. Many leading scientists believe the theory will unlock the deepest secrets of creation and answer some of the most intriguing questions of all
一条金鱼通过凸出的玻璃缸以及其中的水观察这个世界,一辈子没出去过,如果他有思想,他会以为这个世界就是如此。我们人类会觉得他可笑,然而谁又能否认我们所能观察到的世界是不是在更大的范围内也是一个金鱼缸?我们正是其中生活的金鱼?我们在更高的文明看来是不是在歪曲真...
評分在高维中探索时间旅行,超弦理论统一十维宇宙,物理学定律将在高维中得到简化! 超空间理论认为:我们的宇宙存在于四维时空以外的更高维度;它预言了超空间的精确维度是十维;它可以将所有已知的自然力统一起来;它可以计算时空曲率及打开虫洞所需的精确能量;它的高级表现形式...
評分读《超越时空》(加来道雄著)有感 现代科学理论知识常常超越于同时代大多数人的理解。翻开我们的物理习题册,不难发现基础教育仍然停留在基于牛顿定律和电磁场的应用与理解。然而截止至20世纪,人类前沿的科学家们早已展开了对时空第四维、第五维、甚至十维空间的探讨与论证...
評分为什么地球人至今寻找不到其他星际文明? (327页到329页书摘) 一种解释是,地球智慧生命史(百万年),相对于宇宙时间尺度(数十亿年)而言,只是一瞬间;因此有理由假设许多智慧生物在人类存在之前已经消亡,也有更多星际文明尚未发展起来。 另一种解释是,当我们在田野中散...
評分我春节回家时坐飞机,本来飞机是下午3:20起飞,结果居然等到晚上8:20才飞。我坐在机场,没有什么事好做,就把这本书看完了。 想到买一本这样的书完全是受《生活大爆炸》的影响,想搞清一下谢耳朵同学平时研究的倒底都是些什么学问,在douban上查了一上,好像是说这本最好懂,...
有趣,深入淺齣。
评分寫得很有趣
评分Unification of theories in higher dimensions. 其實蠻期待最後能在哲學和宗教層麵多討論一些(喂人傢是物理科普書。寫得很生動,對我這種layman很友好,不過中間還是讀得有點吃力,怪我基礎知識太缺乏瞭。
