Which of these bizarre phenomena, if any, can really exist in our universe? Black holes, down which anything can fall but from which nothing can return; wormholes, short spacewarps connecting regions of the cosmos; singularities, where space and time are so violently warped that time ceases to exist and space becomes a kind of foam; gravitational waves, which carry symphonic accounts of collisions of black holes billions of years ago; and time machines, for traveling backward and forward in time. Kip Thorne, along with fellow theorists Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose, a cadre of Russians, and earlier scientists such as Oppenheimer, Wheeler and Chandrasekhar, has been in the thick of the quest to secure answers. In this masterfully written and brilliantly informed work of scientific history and explanation, Dr. Thorne, the Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech, leads his readers through an elegant, always human, tapestry of interlocking themes, coming finally to a uniquely informed answer to the great question: what principles control our universe and why do physicists think they know the things they think they know? Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time has been one of the greatest best-sellers in publishing history. Anyone who struggled with that book will find here a more slowly paced but equally mind-stretching experience, with the added fascination of a rich historical and human component.

读后感

“I ask myself, as I come to the end of fifteen years of on-and-off writing (mostly off), “What is the single most important thing that you want your readers to learn?” My answer: the amazing power of the human mind—by fits and starts, blind alleys, and ...  

确实是一本非常有趣的书，关于宇宙奇点(黑洞中心)的描述让人想入非非，大爆炸既然源于奇点，产生于一个时空极大扭曲、没有体积、能量极大的“点”，匪夷所思。。。 然而老子开篇也有一段关于天地宇宙的论述：道可道，非常道，名可名，非常名；有，名天地之始，无，名天地之母.....  

别看这本书名字挺吓人，但实际这书用非常通俗的语言，讲述了二十世纪现代物理学的发展过程。这本书不是干巴巴的物理学科普，而是有人有物有情的物理历史故事。这书算是科技史，但又深入到那些科学家思维的深处，跟着他们的思考过程，自己仿佛也走了一遍探索现代物理学最深奥的...

读过好些本第一推动系列，这本感觉是很认真的以专业口吻在科普，甚至是循循善诱的导师对弟子的感觉。 因为已经看过了《星际穿越》，其实这本书序言和零散在各章的有许多星际穿越的故事碎片和理论探讨。读这本书，不觉得是被科普，而觉得随着索恩一起到引力的殿堂中去，感觉应...  

用户评价

Kip在我心中变得日益伟大，很想在他活着的时候见他一面。这本书优点太多了，渐渐也有了自己的读的方式，最后三章关于黑洞本质，量子引力，时间机器的讨论还没看。 准备写一篇读书笔记，特别是四五六三章。

Best astrophysics book for me!

Kip Thorne是个了不起的作家，阅读体验太好了

我看过的唯一一本黑洞书。。。。。。
