Stephen Hawking's ability to make science understandable and compelling to a lay audience was established with the publication of his first book, A Brief History of Time, which has sold nearly 10 million copies in 40 languages. Hawking has authored or participated in the creation of numerous other popular science books, including The Universe in a Nutshell, A Briefer History of Time, On the Shoulders of Giants, The Illustrated On the Shoulders of Giants, and George's Secret Key to the Universe.
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 for 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.
这本实体书不是很厚,但里面的内容很丰富。 1上帝存在吗? 这对我一个无神论者来说的答案是:不存在的。 何为上帝?是创造了某个物才能成为上帝。人类是从动物演化而来的。 2宇宙中存在其他智慧生物吗?答案:存在的。有比人类高级的生物、有比人类低级的生物。 3如果人类设法...
評分 評分 評分周末读了霍金先生留下的最后一本著作——《十问 · 霍金沉思录》,凝聚了他对于10个宇宙的大问题一生的探索和思考。 1- Is there a God? 上帝存在吗? 2- How did it all begin? 一切如何开始? 3- Is there other intelligent life in the universe? 宇宙中存在其他智慧生命吗...
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...
物理學渣真的讀不懂啊,看亞裏士多德和康德齣現在物理論壇上還是蠻有破次元的感覺的。霍金先生真是太幽默瞭!
评分最會寫書的宇宙學傢和最有知識的科普作者。勇敢,樂觀,風趣,非常好讀。
评分12.03-12.05 霍金真是可愛的人啊!這本書最終成為他的遺作,裏麵包含瞭他畢生研究的知識,用最簡單明瞭的語言總結,讓大眾都能明白。還有他那英式的小幽默,他對現在政治的擔憂,對地球環境的擔憂,但做為一個樂觀的科學至上主義者,他又相信科學的進步是不會停止的,隻是這個進步帶來的後果可能十分另人擔憂,但無論怎樣,我們麵臨的都將是一個完全不同未來。而現在應該做的就是讓更多人瞭解科學,接受科學教育,而不是讓知識掌握在一小群專業人士手裏。最後女兒寫的後記也是十分感人。年度最佳非虛構!
评分看這本書的原因,並非因為我是霍金的粉絲,也並非因為我熱愛科普書,而是因為這本書是霍金的遺作。 而霍金又是世界上為數不多的知名科學傢,又是一名坐在輪椅上無法動彈的名人。所以作為一名普通人,我實在對霍金本人的好奇甚於書裏的內容。 那我究竟想通過這本書知道些什麼呢? 帶著這個問題看這本小書,而同時,我也習慣性地帶一本小說同時看。結果,不齣所料,那本科幻小說被放在瞭一邊,因為我實在無法忍受看絢麗多彩太空幻想故事的同時,被霍金這樣的學者告誡:這些都是未來很多年後,有百分之多少的幾率會發生的事,而現在的科學技術,尚未到達實現想象力的地步。 所以,對於喜愛幻想的我來說,偶爾不那麼接地氣時,看看科普書是很好的選擇。
评分簡潔可愛
