"If Ms. Frizzle were a physics student of Stephen Hawking, she might have written THE UNIVERSE IN YOUR HAND, a wild tour through the reaches of time and space, from the interior of a proton to the Big Bang to the rough suburbs of a black hole. It's friendly, excitable, erudite, and cosmic."

—Jordan Ellenberg, New York Times besteselling author of How Not To Be Wrong

Quantum physics, black holes, string theory, the Big Bang, dark matter, dark energy, parallel universes: even if we are interested in these fundamental concepts of our world, their language is the language of math. Which means that despite our best intentions of finally grasping, say, Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, most of us are quickly brought up short by a snarl of nasty equations or an incomprehensible graph.

Christophe Galfard's mission in life is to spread modern scientific ideas to the general public in entertaining ways. Using his considerable skills as a brilliant theoretical physicist and successful young adult author, The Universe in Your Hand employs the immediacy of simple, direct language to show us, not explain to us, the theories that underpin everything we know about our universe. To understand what happens to a dying star, we are asked to picture ourselves floating in space in front of it. To get acquainted with the quantum world, we are shrunk to the size of an atom and then taken on a journey. Employing everyday similes and metaphors, addressing the reader directly, and writing stories rather than equations renders these astoundingly complex ideas in an immediate and visceral way.

Utterly captivating and entirely unique, The Universe in Your Hand will find its place among other classics in the field

“有一天,”小王子说,“我看了43次日落”。 一天看了43次日落,怎么可能呢?总是有那么多的不可能啊! 那时候,我还不懂得,常识不一定代表真实。我们往往被自我认知阈限,对身周的一切习以为常,对遥远的陌生不以为然。我以为,43次日落只存在于童话。没...

行程的另一个起点缘于图书馆跟这本书的偶遇,至今仍是我觉得跟图书最美好的一次不期而遇。它陪我度过了好多难忘的夏日时光。我,这本书,整个宇宙,夏日的虫鸣。if there’s one book on the universe you’ve got to read in this lifetime, I can’t think of a better book to recommend.

用简洁的语言描述量子力学、暗物质暗能量、弦论等耳熟能详但并不理解的概念,作为入门科普读物读起来很流畅,个别专业词需要查资料,用五个月的时间一点点看完,鼓舞了我读英文书的信心。
