翻译质量还算中规中矩,至少译者把想要原文表达的意思表达出了。这也是我对翻译作品的一贯要求:把含义交给翻译家,把艺术交给天才,把感悟交给自己。 下面是一些随想,小小感慨一下: 1)有限与无限 雷锋同学曾经说过,我要把有限的生命投入到无限地为人民服务中去。这至...
评分虽然开头有点造作, 但接下来的章节都写得特别好, 几乎对每一种流行的看法都有阐述, 而且深入浅出, 适合任何层次的人阅读, 尤其是对了解大爆炸模型有帮助. 我原本算有个比较清晰的宇宙观, 但看完该书后反而变模糊了, 宇宙学就是个混账东西, 太过在意反而使自己脱离现实.
评分的确,越深入思考,越觉得生命无意义:无论如何挣扎,如何赋予过去、现在和未来意义,最终的一切(甚至时空)都会在宇宙最后的三分钟后泯灭。文章的最后有个问题,一个对于生命来说的终极问题:如果宇宙是一个没有终点的旅程、一个没有目标的旅程,存在有意义吗?如果宇宙的存...

评分书中有很多理论的入门解释和思想实验,看多了容易混乱抓不住重点。我试着理顺下脉络,就是找找中心思想。希望给有需要的人带来帮助。 一、世界末日 地球每相隔几百万年就会受到地外小行星、彗星威胁,假如人类有足够长久的社会存在,一定可以运用高度发展的技术...

Ragnarok. Armageddon. Doomsday. Since the dawn of time, man has wondered how the world would end. In "The Last Three Minutes, " Paul Davies reveals the latest theories. It might end in a whimper, slowly scattering into the infinite void. Then again, it might be yanked back by its own gravity and end in a catastrophic " Big Crunch." There are other, more frightening possibilities. We may be seconds away from doom at this very moment. Written in clear language that makes the cutting-edge science of quarks, neutrinos, wormholes, and metaverses accessible to the layman, "The Last Three Minutes" treats readers to a wide range of conjectures about the ultimate fate of the universe. Along the way, it takes the occasional divergent path to discuss some slightly less cataclysmic topics such as galactic colonization, what would happen if the Earth were struck by the comet Swift-Tuttle (a distinct possibility), the effects of falling in a black hole, and how to create a " baby universe." Wonderfully morbid to the core, this is one of the most original science books to come along in years."It is always a pleasure to read this kind of meditation when it is carried out by a thinker of the breadth and awareness of Paul Davies." "--New York Times" "Davies guides the reader on an imaginary journey into deep time, as the celestial clockwork winds out to infinity, bearing our descendants with it."--Laurence A. Marschall, "The Sciences" "Davies has written a highly readable book that makes a commendable companion to "The First Three Minutes."--Elizabeth Maggio, "Washington Post"
