A new edition of the New York Times bestsellernow a three-part Nova special on PBS-TV coming in Fall 2003: a fascinating and thought-provoking journey through the mysteries of space, time, and matter. Now with a new preface (not in any other edition) that will review the enormous public reception of the relatively obscure string theorymade possible by this book and an increased number of adherents amongst physicists The Elegant Universe "sets a standard that will be hard to beat" ( New York Times Book Review ). Brian Greene, one of the world's leading string theorists, peels away the layers of mystery surrounding string theory to reveal a universe that consists of eleven dimensions, where the fabric of space tears and repairs itself, and all matterfrom the smallest quarks to the most gargantuan supernovasis generated by the vibrations of microscopically tiny loops of energy. Today physicists and mathematicians throughout the world are feverishly working on one of the most ambitious theories ever proposed: superstring theory. String theory, as it is often called, is the key to the Unified Field Theory that eluded Einstein for more than thirty years. Finally, the century-old antagonism between the large and the small-General Relativity and Quantum Theory-is resolved. String theory proclaims that all of the wondrous happenings in the universe, from the frantic dancing of subatomic quarks to the majestic swirling of heavenly galaxies, are reflections of one grand physical principle and manifestations of one single entity: microscopically tiny vibrating loops of energy, a billionth of a billionth the size of an atom. In this brilliantly articulated and refreshingly clear book, Greene relates the scientific story and the human struggle behind twentieth-century physics' search for a theory of everything. Through the masterful use of metaphor and analogy, The Elegant Universe makes some of the most sophisticated concepts ever contemplated viscerally accessible and thoroughly entertaining, bringing us closer than ever to understanding how the universe works.

最初讀這本書是為瞭練聽力,從emule下瞭朗讀錄音.聽瞭半天纔恍然大悟:原來這就是那本<宇宙的琴弦>啊!不得不說,雖然第一推動叢書為中國的科普做瞭很大貢獻,可是很多書的翻譯實在差強人意.當然這也有點怪漢語本身,不那麼適閤錶達嚴謹復雜的邏輯關係,而且很多科技名詞還沒有對應的...
評分《環球科學》4月刊訊,100年前《科學美國人》上刊登的一篇有關宇宙曆史和大尺度結構(large-scale structure)的文章,幾乎完全錯瞭。 1908年,科學傢們相信,我們身處的這個星係就是整個宇宙。他們認為宇宙就是被無盡的虛空包圍著的一群孤獨的恒星,因此宇宙又被稱為“宇宙...
評分斷斷續續花瞭差不多進一個月的時間,讀完瞭這本《宇宙的琴弦》。目睹著app裏大傢的在綫筆記從第一章的幾十條,迅速銳減到第十章的零星幾條,深感大多數人確實很難耐下心來讀完這太過抽象的理論物理前沿科普。 對於弦論,我僅有的膚淺的理解來自於幾位做理論物理研究的朋友,以...
評分格林為弦論大傢,該書也很清晰的描述瞭弦論領域的各種概念,尤其是在彆的書裏沒看到的關於對偶原理的清晰錶述(當然,更可能是我孤陋寡聞)。但是,這個氣氛過於樂觀瞭,如果結閤李.斯莫林的《物理學的睏惑》一起看的話,我想效果會更好。畢竟斯莫林既搞過弦論,也搞過圈量子力...
