感觉无力去评价这位伟人,他的伟大至少体现在他把影响力从剑桥延伸到了另一个过度我所在的一个小角落里。 读完自传,我甚至已经忘了霍金教授是什么时候被诊断出帕金森综合症的,再翻开自传才发现根本没有专门的一章。全书写了他的童年、青年、求学、婚姻和研究的历程,而对于纠...
评分在《时间简史》的冲击波渐渐漾开的时刻,霍金本人自传《我的简史》浮出水面。同样以“简”呈现。但在极简的背后是绵长的暗流,正如这本书的装帧,黑色的封面,黑色的插页,再配以全书多幅黑白照片,凝重简约,恰如一位科学家素朴的样貌。一本极简的人生史,无论是内容还是...
评分看过他自己写的自传和几本第三方的传记,整理了11件跟霍金相关的小事: 霍金最重要的贡献是黑洞蒸发理论和宇宙创生理论,在物理学家中距离伟大还有些差距,但他在科普方面是所有科学家中影响力最大的一个,他的《时间简史》卖了3000万本,是有历以来成绩最好的科普著作。 1、霍...

My Brief History recounts Stephen Hawking’s improbable journey, from his postwar London boyhood to his years of international acclaim and celebrity. Lavishly illustrated with rarely seen photographs, this concise, witty, and candid account introduces readers to a Hawking rarely glimpsed in previous books: the inquisitive schoolboy whose classmates nicknamed him Einstein; the jokester who once placed a bet with a colleague over the existence of a particular black hole; and the young husband and father struggling to gain a foothold in the world of physics and cosmology.
Writing with characteristic humility and humor, Hawking opens up about the challenges that confronted him following his diagnosis of ALS at age twenty-one. Tracing his development as a thinker, he explains how the prospect of an early death urged him onward through numerous intellectual breakthroughs, and talks about the genesis of his masterpiece A Brief History of Time—one of the iconic books of the twentieth century.
Clear-eyed, intimate, and wise, My Brief History opens a window for the rest of us into Hawking’s personal cosmos.
20180331阅毕,最近刚读过《The Theory of Everything》,听闻作者去世,又之前看过微博卢昌海提到这本传记,遂断断续续读之。书不厚,轻松读完,内容前半部分主要讲从小到大学的求学经历,轻描淡写。后半部分讲了自己的主要贡献,非有相对论背景细节可跳过。中间顺带讲了自己的两段婚姻(两个女人给他的帮助都很大),穿插对个人的身体状况评价。有一些有趣的八卦,比如向伽利略道歉才愿意前往梵蒂冈领奖,和吉普索恩等人的赌约,狄拉克对他颁奖的帮助,盖尔曼与费曼之间的故事,其中对时间机器避免炒作或军事注意的处理或戏谑,可以对比学术界国内外对各种新概念的炒作、哗众取宠博眼球申经费。
评分It's LITERALLY brief. 之前并不知道他是这么一个同时具备清醒的头脑和幽默感的人,两者皆是我最珍视的品质。
评分时间地点事情经过,量子力学、时空平曲都是蜻蜓点水一笔带过,想看专业知识的还是要读《时间简史》,这本书很短,粗粗写了霍金的人生时间轴;也没有浮夸华丽的渲染身残志坚的道理,淡淡的就很清新;简洁迅速拉近和这位传奇的距离,读完后发现,天才和我们想象的并不一样。
评分真的是有点简短。
