Stephen Hawking’s phenomenal, multimillion-copy bestseller, A Brief History of Time , introduced the ideas of this brilliant theoretical physicist to readers all over the world.
Now, in a major publishing event, Hawking returns with a lavishly illustrated sequel that unravels the mysteries of the major breakthroughs that have occurred in the years since the release of his acclaimed first book.
The Universe in a Nutshell
• Quantum mechanics
• M-theory
• General relativity
• 11-dimensional supergravity
• 10-dimensional membranes
• Superstrings
• P-branes
• Black holes
One of the most influential thinkers of our time, Stephen Hawking is an intellectual icon, known not only for the adventurousness of his ideas but for the clarity and wit with which he expresses them. In this new book Hawking takes us to the cutting edge of theoretical physics, where truth is often stranger than fiction, to explain in laymen’s terms the principles that control our universe.
Like many in the community of theoretical physicists, Professor Hawking is seeking to uncover the grail of science — the elusive Theory of Everything that lies at the heart of the cosmos. In his accessible and often playful style, he guides us on his search to uncover the secrets of the universe — from supergravity to supersymmetry, from quantum theory to M-theory, from holography to duality.
He takes us to the wild frontiers of science, where superstring theory and p-branes may hold the final clue to the puzzle. And he lets us behind the scenes of one of his most exciting intellectual adventures as he seeks “to combine Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and Richard Feynman’s idea of multiple histories into one complete unified theory that will describe everything that happens in the universe.”
With characteristic exuberance, Professor Hawking invites us to be fellow travelers on this extraordinary voyage through space-time. Copious four-color illustrations help clarify this journey into a surreal wonderland where particles, sheets, and strings move in eleven dimensions; where black holes evaporate and disappear, taking their secret with them; and where the original cosmic seed from which our own universe sprang was a tiny nut.
The Universe in a Nutshell is essential reading for all of us who want to understand the universe in which we live. Like its companion volume, A Brief History of Time , it conveys the excitement felt within the scientific community as the secrets of the cosmos reveal themselves.

評分孩童時期的理想就是當一個天文學傢,探究浩瀚的宇宙,名字中有一宇字,更加強化瞭這種意識,雖然糾結於現實,不得不從事其他工作,但對宇宙的熱愛卻從未衰減,無奈腦力有限,對於四維空間始終無法理解,好在有本書讓我繞開瞭瓶頸另闢蹊徑,感謝。 關鍵就是——退一步思考。 舉...

史蒂芬 為什麼要 故意的 把graphics和text分成兩個獨立的故事來講。你叫我怎麼看 一直在兩種敘述裏來迴切換 嚴重 影響 readability。不喜歡 差評 讀中文版的時候也遇到過這個問題 討厭 差評。
評分腦洞很大,多維空間的思考還是很有趣的。對數學想象力有點要求,建議看過費曼的QED再看這本,理解起來會容易很多。
評分最後兩章對未來的展望很有意思。
評分作為一個former science major who was banished from the science kingdom, 我還有臉說其實我的偶像一直都是物理學傢麼,嗚嗚嗚。 還有這個標簽是怎麼迴事……
評分Do most of us worry how many insects and earthworms we squash underfoot?
