A new edition of the New York Times bestsellernow a three-part Nova special on PBS-TV coming in Fall 2003: a fascinating and thought-provoking journey through the mysteries of space, time, and matter. Now with a new preface (not in any other edition) that will review the enormous public reception of the relatively obscure string theorymade possible by this book and an increased number of adherents amongst physicists The Elegant Universe "sets a standard that will be hard to beat" ( New York Times Book Review ). Brian Greene, one of the world's leading string theorists, peels away the layers of mystery surrounding string theory to reveal a universe that consists of eleven dimensions, where the fabric of space tears and repairs itself, and all matterfrom the smallest quarks to the most gargantuan supernovasis generated by the vibrations of microscopically tiny loops of energy. Today physicists and mathematicians throughout the world are feverishly working on one of the most ambitious theories ever proposed: superstring theory. String theory, as it is often called, is the key to the Unified Field Theory that eluded Einstein for more than thirty years. Finally, the century-old antagonism between the large and the small-General Relativity and Quantum Theory-is resolved. String theory proclaims that all of the wondrous happenings in the universe, from the frantic dancing of subatomic quarks to the majestic swirling of heavenly galaxies, are reflections of one grand physical principle and manifestations of one single entity: microscopically tiny vibrating loops of energy, a billionth of a billionth the size of an atom. In this brilliantly articulated and refreshingly clear book, Greene relates the scientific story and the human struggle behind twentieth-century physics' search for a theory of everything. Through the masterful use of metaphor and analogy, The Elegant Universe makes some of the most sophisticated concepts ever contemplated viscerally accessible and thoroughly entertaining, bringing us closer than ever to understanding how the universe works.
《生活大爆炸》里的Sheldon同学是一位弦物理学家,研究弦理论的是当代最聪明的一批人,最为悖论的是,他们都不知道这个理论是不是正确,或许从一开始就走在了错误的方向上,但这并不妨碍物理学家们前仆后继的追逐这座“物理学的圣杯”,为了人类精神的荣耀。仔细想想个中情由也...
评分弦论不是物理,或者说也不是科学,因为完全无法证伪。 科学其实就是找规律。打个比方,大家都做过的按规律填数。物理学通常的方法是找规律,等差、等比、指数、对数还是什么别的规律? 但是还有一个耍赖的方法,你写出来5个数,要填第六个,我就列一个五元方程组,解出来五个参...
评分第一次接触超弦理论,本人对相对论和量子力学的理解也处于高中生的科普水平,一口气读下来,没有什么障碍,真是酣畅淋漓,大呼过瘾!作者的文笔在科普作家里堪称世界一流,深入浅出,一路讲故事般娓娓道来,引人入胜. 本书以近代物理史上的三次冲突为线索,演绎出狭义相对论,广义相对论...
评分关于本书,豆瓣上已经有太多的大神级专业书评文章。作为一名业余读者,我只好发挥自己专业所长,结合所学的一点粗浅的哲学知识,来说说这本弦理论科普书中所蕴含的散发着哲学味道的文艺范。 在近百年的历史中,众多的科学先驱已经为我们架构起一座科学而系统的宇宙认知体系,...
