The Big Picture

Sean Carroll is a theoretical physicist at the California Institute of Technology. His research focuses on fundamental issues in quantum mechanics, gravitation, statistical mechanics, and cosmology. He has wide-ranging interests, including in philosophy, complexity theory, and information.Carroll is an active science communicator, and has been blogging regularly since 2004. His textbook "Spacetime and Geometry" has been adopted by a number of universities for their graduate courses in general relativity. He is a frequent public speaker, and has appeared on TV shows such as The Colbert Report and Through The Wormhole with Morgan Freeman. He has produced a set of lectures for The Teaching Company on dark matter and dark energy, and another on the nature of time. He has served as a science consultant for films such as Thor and TRON: Legacy, as well as for TV shows such as Fringe and Bones.His 2010 popular book, "From Eternity to Here," explained the arrow of time and connected it with the origin of our universe. "The Particle at the End of the Universe," about the Large Hadron Collider and the quest to discover the Higgs boson, was released November 2012. "The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself" will appear in May 2016.More information at http://preposterousuniverse.com/

读后感

這是一本很困難的書，作者的論述，由量子、原子、分子、有機體、生命演化、基因遺傳、神經科學、牛頓力學、邏輯推理、相對論、天文宇宙、以至延伸到神學、哲學等各層級領域，涉及的範疇既廣且深，最後作者以一個核心理論方程式做為結尾〈說似簡潔、卻很不易理解、且不會是最終...  

1 本书的结构 本书分为六大部分，50章。结构庞大，但其实并不难读，总字数三十二万字。须知《洛丽塔》就有四十二万字。它貌似厚重，难于阅读，也许是由于装帧精良，丝绢般韧滑的纸张有一定厚度的缘故吧。 本书第一大部分是对本体论的基本概述，第二部分是在阐述认识论，第三部...  

肖恩·卡罗尔，真是深得我心。 我很久之前，就想过，对人进行量子层面的复制，所带来的同一性困境，结果他在这本书里居然也提到了，而且嵌入在一个“大图景”中，带着我进入了更广阔的境地。 在统一场论和“我该如何生活”之间，有着漫长的距离，两者常常看起来毫不相关，尽管...  

懒洋洋地下午，三个男人围在桌子上讨论着不着边际的话题——人类算个啥？ 穿着聖袍呆着金边眼镜的基督教徒说到：“几千年前世界漆黑一片，神说要有光于是就有了光，神创造了一切最后做了人，先做了男人再从男人的身上取出肋骨做了女人，所以人是神的仆人。” “住嘴！”穿着白...

用户评价

A really challenging reading, not only for the language issues, but mostly for the various scientific and philosophical phenomena that the author attempts to elaborate..., intrigued and still being humbled by the big world.

有趣

Poetic naturalism最佳宣传手册

以宇宙大爆炸理论、量子场论的大量结果为基础，对科学方法、人生意义等宏大的哲学问题做出了讨论。

内容好杂，不像想象中的物理科普书，然而对世界的认识本来也就不是能由物理学完全说清楚的。
