Stephen Hawking's ability to make science understandable and compelling to a lay audience was established with the publication of his first book, A Brief History of Time, which has sold nearly 10 million copies in 40 languages. Hawking has authored or participated in the creation of numerous other popular science books, including The Universe in a Nutshell, A Briefer History of Time, On the Shoulders of Giants, The Illustrated On the Shoulders of Giants, and George's Secret Key to the Universe.

前不久,霍金生前的最后一篇论文终于发表了,很多人看到了这个消息,但是并不清楚这篇论文说的是什么,霍金的东西好像从来都不那么容易看懂。 所幸的是,他在去世之前,还给我们留了最后一份看得懂的礼物,就是我今天要给你分享的这本书——《终极问答》(Brief Answers to the...
评分生在这个时代,能如此轻易地阅读伟人一生的思考,是何其幸运。 霍金不仅是一位伟大的科学家,更是一位心怀天下的伟人。他将一些开阔而发散的思考带入到我们枯燥的生活中:作为人类我们该如何思考种族的命运,我们对科技的发展和宇宙的探索,是改善生活的奇思妙想,还是避免毁灭...
评分这本实体书不是很厚,但里面的内容很丰富。 1上帝存在吗? 这对我一个无神论者来说的答案是:不存在的。 何为上帝?是创造了某个物才能成为上帝。人类是从动物演化而来的。 2宇宙中存在其他智慧生物吗?答案:存在的。有比人类高级的生物、有比人类低级的生物。 3如果人类设法...

评分之前有不少媒体在报道中将霍金塑造成一个科技悲观主义者,在一些媒体文章中霍金常常以担忧、警示人工智能、超人类的形象出现,但读了这本书后,我发现一些媒体有断章取义的嫌疑。 霍金虽然担心人工智能的威胁,但他依然期待人工智能的发展,而且对超人类的态度是比较喜闻乐见的...

Stephen Hawking was the most renowned scientist since Einstein, known both for his groundbreaking work in physics and cosmology and for his mischievous sense of humor. He educated millions of readers about the origins of the universe and the nature of black holes, and inspired millions more by defying a terrifying early prognosis of ALS, which originally gave him only two years to live. In later life he could communicate only by using a few facial muscles, but he continued to advance his field and serve as a revered voice on social and humanitarian issues.
Hawking not only unraveled some of the universe’s greatest mysteries but also believed science plays a critical role in fixing problems here on Earth. Now, as we face immense challenges on our planet—including climate change, the threat of nuclear war, and the development of artificial intelligence—he turns his attention to the most urgent issues facing us.
Will humanity survive? Should we colonize space? Does God exist? These are just a few of the questions Hawking addresses in this wide-ranging, passionately argued final book from one of the greatest minds in history.
Featuring a foreword by Eddie Redmayne, who won an Oscar for playing Stephen Hawking, an introduction by Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne, and an afterword from Hawking’s daughter, Lucy, Brief Answers to the Big Questions is a brilliant last message to the world.
单词不难,但物理知识点难啊.....喜欢小本的朗读,吐字清晰,朗读节奏也令人舒服。印象最深的是霍金的幽默,虽然他的“操作系统”在更新换代,但他仍然保留使用第一代发声系统,“虽然它是美国口音”。
评分看这本书的原因,并非因为我是霍金的粉丝,也并非因为我热爱科普书,而是因为这本书是霍金的遗作。 而霍金又是世界上为数不多的知名科学家,又是一名坐在轮椅上无法动弹的名人。所以作为一名普通人,我实在对霍金本人的好奇甚于书里的内容。 那我究竟想通过这本书知道些什么呢? 带着这个问题看这本小书,而同时,我也习惯性地带一本小说同时看。结果,不出所料,那本科幻小说被放在了一边,因为我实在无法忍受看绚丽多彩太空幻想故事的同时,被霍金这样的学者告诫:这些都是未来很多年后,有百分之多少的几率会发生的事,而现在的科学技术,尚未到达实现想象力的地步。 所以,对于喜爱幻想的我来说,偶尔不那么接地气时,看看科普书是很好的选择。

评分作为物理普读太不系统了,哲学也只是轻点表面。海森堡不定理论对高中时的我冲击很大,在此之前我是个坚定的技术乐天派。
