具体描述

Stephen Hawking's worldwide bestseller, "A Brief History of Time", has been a landmark volume in scientific writing. Its author's engaging voice is one reason, and the compelling subjects he addresses is another: the nature of space and time, the role of God in creation, and the history and future of the universe. But it is also true that in the years since its publication, readers have repeatedly told Professor Hawking of their great difficulty in understanding some of the book's most important concepts. This is the origin of and the reason for "A Briefer History of Time": its author's wish to make its content accessible to readers - as well as to bring it up-to-date with the latest scientific observations and findings. Although this book is literally somewhat 'briefer', it actually expands on the great subjects of the original. Purely technical concepts, such as the mathematics of chaotic boundary conditions, are gone. Conversely, subjects of wide interest that were difficult to follow because they were interspersed throughout the book have now been given entire chapters of their own, including relativity, curved space, and quantum theory. This reorganization has allowed the authors to expand areas of special interest and recent progress, from the latest developments in string theory to exciting developments in the search for a complete, unified theory of all the forces of physics. Like prior editions of the book - but even more so - "A Briefer History of Time" will guide non scientists everywhere in the ongoing search for the tantalizing secrets at the heart of time and space. Thirty-eight full-color illustrations enhance the text and make "A Briefer History of Time" an exhilarating addition in its own right to the literature of science. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

读后感

或许这样说是绝对了一些，但是我们确实无法理解彼岸的东西，正如笛卡儿说的：人类一思考，上帝就发笑。或者如爱因斯坦说的：宇宙中唯有两件事物是无限的：那就是宇宙的大小与人的蠢笨。然而宇宙的大小我却不能肯定。 霍金当然没有这么说，但是他的说法是：每一种理论在诞生的时...

前两天看了一个关于宇宙大爆炸的纪录片。 对于质量如果存在仍然有很多的争论。 但是当你抬头仰望天空，其实你所看到的就是宇宙的历史。 宇宙大爆炸其实时时刻刻就发生在你的身边。 科学离我么如此之近。 有时间我会再看一遍时间简史，当年高中时候看，感觉还是读的一知半解

2001年的夏天，学生年代的学生我们，被一个学生年龄的歌手牵起一阵风潮。谢霆锋在那年推出专辑《玉蝴蝶》,里边两首主打歌“玉蝴蝶”和“潜龙勿用”马上唱遍街头巷尾。“玉蝴蝶”这一首流行曲借着北京爱乐乐团的演出向电影大师奇斯洛夫斯基的《两生花》致敬，而“潜龙勿用”居然...  

本体论哲学家霍金与上帝的终极之战 故事有一个冗长的开头。 我们身处的世界是怎样的？自人类文明开始，这类诘问就伴随而生，人们困惑于周边纷纭复杂的事物和现象，想要知道，这一切都是怎样构成的，又该如何解释它，它的本质是什么，规律又是什么？ 哲...  

用户评价

非常好的科普书籍，把相对论以及有关宇宙、时间、等等若干问题用易懂的文字描写出来。几乎没有方程式推导。

我以为它是a brief history of time......

最后一章最赞

非常好的科普书籍，把相对论以及有关宇宙、时间、等等若干问题用易懂的文字描写出来。几乎没有方程式推导。

最畅销的科普书籍！你不仅能了解很多物理知识，更关键的是带着你思维旅行
