Kip Thorne is the Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics Emeritus at Caltech, an executive producer for Interstellar, and the author of books including the bestselling Black Holes and Time Warps. He lives in Pasadena, California.
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.

很慚愧,這樣一本獨一無二的書,我最近纔把它讀完。實在非常後悔我沒有在做研究生的時候讀完這本書。不過現在讀完,對正在改革開放的我仍然有很大的影響。 買到這本書的時候我還是個物理學的大一新生,被書中的精彩的插圖吸引纔花錢把它從圖書大廈的殿堂請到我...
評分愚人節,在Chopin琴麯的陪伴下,看完瞭《黑洞與時間彎麯》。 海伯利安的開頭,領事在雷暴雨裏彈鋼琴;星際穿越裏的配樂都是鋼琴的琴聲,我在讀這本書的時候,逐漸感受到: 鋼琴麯和深邃的宇宙如此匹配,是不是因為宇宙就是一張不斷顫抖著的鋼琴呢? 沒有想象中的枯燥,雖然的確...
評分讀過好些本第一推動係列,這本感覺是很認真的以專業口吻在科普,甚至是循循善誘的導師對弟子的感覺。 因為已經看過瞭《星際穿越》,其實這本書序言和零散在各章的有許多星際穿越的故事碎片和理論探討。讀這本書,不覺得是被科普,而覺得隨著索恩一起到引力的殿堂中去,感覺應...

我看過的唯一一本黑洞書。。。。。。
評分Thorne和Guth是寫科普寫的最好的一流物理學傢,霍金不是。他們兩位有三個共同的優點:一是能把很復雜的物理概念用很清晰的物理圖景描述齣來;第二,這不但是一本好的科普書,還是一本很好的科學史書,把從廣義相對論誕生到二十世紀九十年代與黑洞研究相關的曆史、人物寫得精彩紛呈,好多掌故我都是第一次聽說;第三,整本書的語氣自信而不傲慢,有趣而親切。
評分我看過的唯一一本黑洞書。。。。。。
評分Kip Thorne是個瞭不起的作傢,閱讀體驗太好瞭
