How did the universe begin and how will it end? What is matter? What is mind, and can it survive death? What are time and space, and how do they relate to ideas about God? Is the order of the universe the result of accident or design? The most profound and age-old questions of existence -- for centuries the focus of religion and philosophy -- may soon be answered through the extraordinary advances of a field of science known as the new physics. In this illuminating work, Paul Davies, author of the acclaimed "Other Worlds" and "The Edge of Infinity, " writes that the discoveries of 20th-century physics -- relativity and the quantum theory -- are now pointing the way to a new appreciation of man and his place in the universe. They could, in fact, bring within our grasp a unified description of all creation. Demanding a radical reformulation of the most fundamental aspects of reality and a way of thinking that is in closer accord with mysticism than materialism, the new physics, says Davies, offers a surer path to God than religion. Described by "The Washington Post" as "impressive," "God and the New Physics" is a fascinating look at the impact of science on what were formerly religious issues. Elegantly written, a book for both scholars and lay readers of science, it is, according to the "Christian Science Monitor, " a "provocative...rewarding intellectual romp."

此书运用物理论点来解释哲学与宗教问题,逻辑紧凑,娓娓道来是喜欢哲学但对物理观点了解不多同学不可多得的佳作。 虽然作者说科学是以逻辑实证主义为基础,脚踏实地了解世界改变世界的工具。此书探讨的主要问题却是形式的(不是形式我也看不懂),下面是我阅毕后以尝试简短解答的...
評分“北冥有鱼,其名为鲲。鲲之大,不知其几千里也。” ,与此对应,银河系的浩瀚,恒星中的太阳(50亿年),及各大行星,其中我们人类赖以生存的恒星地球,诞生于45亿年前。这样的时间概念,对于一个人,真要认真思索一下它的终极意义。探索自己和宇宙的过程中,顺其自然地出现了宗...
評分宗教与科学的关系,既非单纯的对立、也非线性的传承。西方哲学经历古典时期,中世纪,和文艺复兴宗教改革以来,对世界的理解所形成的问题域,一直都十分相似,而科学,在暂时规避了一些本体论的障碍之后,走上了新的道路。 但即使在二十一世纪的今天,我们依然不知道怎样的道路...
評分《上帝与新物理学》一书,涉及很多宇宙学方面的问题,但主要谈的是现代物理学的进展对宗教教义,尤其是基督教教义的影响。作者说:“这不是一本谈论宗教的书。本书谈的是新物理学对以前属于宗教的问题所产生的影响。” 爱因斯坦曾经说过:“没有科学的宗教是盲目的,没有宗教的...
評分这本书发表于1989年,快三十年之后的今天看来依旧毫不过时,带给我很多思考。 作者是一个物理学家,在写作本书的时候主要就如何用物理学的手段解释宇宙做了说明,同时正面打脸基督教的创世论,反对上帝的全知全能,这里作者不仅用到了科学的论证思维,也用到了很多...
