How did the universe begin and how will it end? What is matter? What is mind, and can it survive death? What are time and space, and how do they relate to ideas about God? Is the order of the universe the result of accident or design? The most profound and age-old questions of existence -- for centuries the focus of religion and philosophy -- may soon be answered through the extraordinary advances of a field of science known as the new physics. In this illuminating work, Paul Davies, author of the acclaimed "Other Worlds" and "The Edge of Infinity, " writes that the discoveries of 20th-century physics -- relativity and the quantum theory -- are now pointing the way to a new appreciation of man and his place in the universe. They could, in fact, bring within our grasp a unified description of all creation. Demanding a radical reformulation of the most fundamental aspects of reality and a way of thinking that is in closer accord with mysticism than materialism, the new physics, says Davies, offers a surer path to God than religion. Described by "The Washington Post" as "impressive," "God and the New Physics" is a fascinating look at the impact of science on what were formerly religious issues. Elegantly written, a book for both scholars and lay readers of science, it is, according to the "Christian Science Monitor, " a "provocative...rewarding intellectual romp."

這本書探討瞭《三體》所涉及的多個問題:為什麼大自然的規律是現在這個樣子?大自然是自然的嗎?宇宙中是否可能存在大規模地改造宇宙的智慧?若存在,意味著什麼?等等。 在我看來,《三體》所以吸引人的一個原因就在於這些問題都是匪夷所思而又耐人尋味的。而本書所探討的領...
評分我覺得湖南科技的第一推動叢書最具質量的還是第一、二輯,其中皇帝新腦,數學確定性的喪失,細胞生命的禮贊,時間簡史都是很經典的書。 從難易程度上來講,《上帝與新物理學》寫得最淺顯易懂,覆蓋麵廣,生動有趣。皇帝新腦則更深入一些。數學確定性喪失更像一本簡明數學史,...
評分第一章 科學與宗教在變化著的世界中 1.當今時代宗教式微,並非科學在與宗教的博弈中取勝,而是科學的發展將很多人的世界觀重構,以至於宗教經典中描繪的世界圖景已經缺乏時代性失掉說服力瞭。宗教也在與時俱進,想要應付時代的變化,就要從既定的典籍中去挖掘靈活性,以至於現...
評分量子力學的測不準原理並不能作為人類具有自由意識的佐證,因為粒子無關因果性的突然齣現/消失,實際上更有可能乾擾人類的思維,而非保證人類思維的自由,就好像人腦中安插瞭一個外接的開關,毫無規律地亂撥人腦的狀態一樣。 所以更基本的還是意識從何而來的問題。如果神經元狀...
評分宗教與科學的關係,既非單純的對立、也非綫性的傳承。西方哲學經曆古典時期,中世紀,和文藝復興宗教改革以來,對世界的理解所形成的問題域,一直都十分相似,而科學,在暫時規避瞭一些本體論的障礙之後,走上瞭新的道路。 但即使在二十一世紀的今天,我們依然不知道怎樣的道路...
