The Arrow of Time pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
Not to be confused with Richard Morris's Time's Arrows ( LJ 3/15/85) and Stephen Jay Gould's Time's Arrows, Time's Cycles ( LJ 3/15/87), this is the first American edition of a book originally published in Great Britain. Coveney and Highfield--a scientist and journalist, respectively--demonstrate how the everyday perception that time moves in one direction is consistent with advanced scientific theory. At the center of their theory is an intriguing interpretation of the second law of thermodynamics, which describes the forces of entropy. The authors show that this concept has broad relevance in such fields as cosmology, evolution, and the emerging science of chaos. Not for the merely curious, this book cites Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time ( LJ 4/15/88) and James Gleick's Chaos ( LJ 8/87) and will appeal to readers with the relatively high level of scientific sophistication of those books. Generalists will find the aforementioned book by Morris to be more approachable.
作者借助时间之箭的概念回顾了一整部物理学史,希望在不同时期的物理学描述中寻找到有助于解释时间之箭的理论可能。 最末几章谈到了混沌系统以及混沌理论与细胞、组织、生命、群体现象之间的可能关联。作者时不时地把时间之箭附和其中(这种做法贯穿全书),这无疑是这本著作的...
