著者簡介
Sean Carroll is a theoretical physicist at the California Institute of Technology. His research focuses on fundamental issues in quantum mechanics, gravitation, statistical mechanics, and cosmology. He has wide-ranging interests, including in philosophy, complexity theory, and information.
Carroll is an active science communicator, and has been blogging regularly since 2004. His textbook "Spacetime and Geometry" has been adopted by a number of universities for their graduate courses in general relativity. He is a frequent public speaker, and has appeared on TV shows such as The Colbert Report and Through The Wormhole with Morgan Freeman. He has produced a set of lectures for The Teaching Company on dark matter and dark energy, and another on the nature of time. He has served as a science consultant for films such as Thor and TRON: Legacy, as well as for TV shows such as Fringe and Bones.
His 2010 popular book, "From Eternity to Here," explained the arrow of time and connected it with the origin of our universe. "The Particle at the End of the Universe," about the Large Hadron Collider and the quest to discover the Higgs boson, was released November 2012. "The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself" will appear in May 2016.

讀後感
1 本书的结构 本书分为六大部分，50章。结构庞大，但其实并不难读，总字数三十二万字。须知《洛丽塔》就有四十二万字。它貌似厚重，难于阅读，也许是由于装帧精良，丝绢般韧滑的纸张有一定厚度的缘故吧。 本书第一大部分是对本体论的基本概述，第二部分是在阐述认识论，第三部...
評分1 贝叶斯理念和决定论 贝叶斯理念、贝叶斯式的认知方式是好的。因为它让人保持开放，在相对性的世界里找到了一种平衡。没有一个想法是永远不需要被修正的。但也不能夸大对它们的不信任。语言的魔障在于那些标记权重之词汇的随意使用（绝对、肯定、关键是、最突出、唯一的、完全...

評分最初被邀请读这本书的时候，我是犹豫了一下的，毕竟这种书名（特别是副题）实在有点像那些宣称自己推翻了相对论的民科会写的名堂。不过查了豆瓣简介后，觉得基本还是靠谱的。 拿到书先翻目录，有几章的标题很抓眼球——《诗性自然主义》（第2章）、《现实涌现而来》（第12章）...
用戶評價
3 billion heartbeats, time is ticking.
评分可以給5星的物理學科普讀物。用laws of nature來講universe, life (of origins), morality, religion, human beings, logic, philosophy。量子力學解釋的很通俗易懂，對sci-fi常常提到的many-world和multi-universe做瞭區分。由於偶個人現在沒心思看和religion, morality and philosophy的部分，就沒給5星。還有，要注意的就是書裏講的理論，隻是（因為無法證明的）眾多理論中作者支持的一個。
评分哈 也到我來當第一個閱讀新鮮齣爐的好書的時候瞭
评分3 billion heartbeats, time is ticking.
评分一本加州理工學院物理學傢寫的哲學/倫理學的書，可能會是一本非常重要的書。越來越感覺，現代哲學就是物理學、腦神經學+邏輯學。（對我一個高一就物理課結業的文科生來說，有點難） 書中的哲學觀叫「詩意自然主義」。郝景芳最近在開智大會上那篇演講是對其近乎完美的詮釋。（清華物理和加州理工物理的握手）也許，這隻是尚未被稀釋給大眾吸收的常識？ 書以引用加繆做結尾。存在主義本身倡導詩意，是「詩意自然主義」粗糲的前身，加繆也顯得更有勇氣。
