The world-famous cosmologist and #1 bestselling author of A Brief History of Time leaves us with his final thoughts on the biggest questions facing humankind.
Stephen Hawking was the most renowned scientist since Einstein, known both for his groundbreaking work in physics and cosmology and for his mischievous sense of humor. He educated millions of readers about the origins of the universe and the nature of black holes, and inspired millions more by defying a terrifying early prognosis of ALS, which originally gave him only two years to live. In later life he could communicate only by using a few facial muscles, but he continued to advance his field and serve as a revered voice on social and humanitarian issues.
Hawking not only unraveled some of the universe’s greatest mysteries but also believed science plays a critical role in fixing problems here on Earth. Now, as we face immense challenges on our planet—including climate change, the threat of nuclear war, and the development of artificial intelligence—he turns his attention to the most urgent issues facing us.
Will humanity survive? Should we colonize space? Does God exist? These are just a few of the questions Hawking addresses in this wide-ranging, passionately argued final book from one of the greatest minds in history.
Featuring a foreword by Eddie Redmayne, who won an Oscar playing Stephen Hawking, an introduction by Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne, and an afterword from Hawking’s daughter, Lucy, Brief Answers to the Big Questions is a brilliant last message to the world.
Stephen Hawking was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge for thirty years and the recipient of numerous awards and honors including the Presidential Medal of Freedom. His books for the general reader include My Brief History, the classic A Brief History of Time, the essay collection Black Holes and Baby Universes, The Universe in a Nutshell, and, with Leonard Mlodinow, A Briefer History of Time and The Grand Design. He also co-authored a series of children’s books with his daughter, beginning with George’s Secret Key to the Universe. Stephen Hawking died in 2018.

評分科普
評分易懂。挺好的。
評分2018年最後幾天讀完的書。霍金的胸懷和在每個big question的答案中所流露的對全人類的關懷都讓我在年末交際之時感動不已,放佛2019年也都充滿瞭希望。
評分R4 read by Anton Lesser & Lucy Hawking
生在这个时代,能如此轻易地阅读伟人一生的思考,是何其幸运。 霍金不仅是一位伟大的科学家,更是一位心怀天下的伟人。他将一些开阔而发散的思考带入到我们枯燥的生活中:作为人类我们该如何思考种族的命运,我们对科技的发展和宇宙的探索,是改善生活的奇思妙想,还是避免毁灭...
評分有一类知识,读的时候很过瘾,开脑洞,但很难复述,而且很快也就忘记了。有那么一阵子,对时间、宇宙、黑洞、量子这类科普很着迷,看见了这类书就买回来看,似乎想搞清楚一点什么。现在我有了读这类书的方法 —— 看不懂的,就直接跳过;似懂非懂的,给一个自我确认的答案。不...
評分之前有不少媒体在报道中将霍金塑造成一个科技悲观主义者,在一些媒体文章中霍金常常以担忧、警示人工智能、超人类的形象出现,但读了这本书后,我发现一些媒体有断章取义的嫌疑。 霍金虽然担心人工智能的威胁,但他依然期待人工智能的发展,而且对超人类的态度是比较喜闻乐见的...
評分霍金,当代最伟大的物理学家了吧。这本书应该是他生前最后一本书,用Q&A的方式来展现他对人类,对宇宙,对未来的理解。不仅言简意赅,对大众是很好的科普,更体现了霍金本人的价值观。在浩瀚无垠的宇宙里,人类虽渺小却好奇着自己星球外的世界,为此一代代的努力着,探索着...
