當思緒同時置放在極大尺度的浩瀚宇宙,與極小尺度的量子維度時,會頓時感覺自己的渺小,也會驚嘆空無空間所潛藏能量的無窮。本書作者說:我們所處的宇宙,源自一種看似什麼都沒有的【空無】。這樣的【空無】似乎一無所有,但並非全然沒有,它其實隱含著巨大能量。在偶然機緣中...
评分这是一本很不错的科普书,而且绝无伪科学或者为了吸引读者而制造噱头,当然在趣味性上稍微逊色了一些。作者的思维很清晰,没有问题,但是因为本书涉及的概念(比如量子力学)本身是很难理解的东西,所以读起来肯定不会很轻松,甚至感觉头脑浆糊。 虽然是科普书,但从他的笔调...

评分细究起来,“有”和“无”(“空”)是一对源于感官知觉的哲学概念,两者对举而相互依存。“无”(“空”)是在感官之外的,因“有”而在,与物理学概念中的“真空”其实并不是一回事,所以在这个向度上说“无中生有”,倒是有那么一点儿佛家“缘起”的味道,只不过这里的“缘...
评分沒讀過,純粹吐槽一下封面印象。 原書副標『Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing?』與海德格爾所謂的『為何存在者存在而無反倒不存在?』頗為相近,中譯翻作『萬物起源於空,空又從何而來』則純粹是墮入了『萬法歸一,一歸何所』式的妄執當中。

“WHERE DID THE UNIVERSE COME FROM? WHAT WAS THERE BEFORE IT? WHAT WILL THE FUTURE BRING? AND FINALLY, WHY IS THERE SOMETHING RATHER THAN NOTHING?”
Lawrence Krauss’s provocative answers to these and other timeless questions in a wildly popular lecture now on YouTube have attracted almost a million viewers. The last of these questions in particular has been at the center of religious and philosophical debates about the existence of God, and it’s the supposed counterargument to anyone who questions the need for God. As Krauss argues, scientists have, however, historically focused on other, more pressing issues—such as figuring out how the universe actually functions, which can ultimately help us to improve the quality of our lives.
Now, in a cosmological story that rivets as it enlightens, pioneering theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss explains the groundbreaking new scientific advances that turn the most basic philosophical questions on their heads. One of the few prominent scientists today to have actively crossed the chasm between science and popular culture, Krauss reveals that modern science is addressing the question of why there is something rather than nothing, with surprising and fascinating results. The staggeringly beautiful experimental observations and mind-bending new theories are all described accessibly in A Universe from Nothing, and they suggest that not only can something arise from nothing, something will always arise from nothing.
With his characteristic wry humor and wonderfully clear explanations, Krauss takes us back to the beginning of the beginning, presenting the most recent evidence for how our universe evolved—and the implications for how it’s going to end. It will provoke, challenge, and delight readers as it looks at the most basic underpinnings of existence in a whole new way. And this knowledge that our universe will be quite different in the future from today has profound implications and directly affects how we live in the present. As Richard Dawkins has described it: This could potentially be the most important scientific book with implications for supernaturalism since Darwin.
A fascinating antidote to outmoded philosophical and religious thinking, A Universe from Nothing is a provocative, game-changing entry into the debate about the existence of God and everything that exists. “Forget Jesus,” Krauss has argued, “the stars died so you could be born.”
Krauss大师硬科普
评分科普读物,写的没有霍金精彩,了解阅读。两年前买的书现在才读完,惭愧
评分万物起源于空,空又从何而来?
评分哲学不能脱离科学,神学不能回答终极问题,于是Dawkins写结束语也就不意外了。
