From One of the Most Brilliant Minds of Our Time

Comes a Book that Clarifies His Most Important Ideas

Stephen Hawking’s worldwide bestseller, A Brief History of Time , remains one of the landmark volumes in scientific writing of our time. But for years readers have asked for a more accessible formulation of its key concepts—the nature of space and time, the role of God in creation, and the history and future of the universe.

Professor Hawking’s response is this new work that will guide nonscientists everywhere in the ongoing search for the tantalizing secrets at the heart of time and space.…

Although “briefer,” this book is much more than a mere explanation of Hawking’s earlier work. A Briefer History of Time both clarifies and expands on the great subjects of the original, and records the latest developments in the field—from string theory to the search for a unified theory of all the forces of physics. Thirty-seven full-color illustrations enhance the text and make A Briefer History of Time an exhilarating and must-have addition in its own right to the great literature of science and ideas.

读后感

有比光更快的速度么？有，那就是思速。 　　这是我编的名词。大清早，一眼望穿窗外巨大的广告牌，我的思想可以穿透到宇宙的边缘，不，宇宙以最近的理论来说，是无边缘且在膨胀中。那思维可以跟它一起膨胀。没有人能证实你所想的是对是错。那完美的想像，只属于一个人－－你自...  

物理学的玄妙之处，在于最精妙的理论，往往是最简单的——题记 1st mov Scherzo —— 乌龟塔风景 《时间简史》的开头，讲了一个有趣的故事。说一位著名的科学家在作完一次关于天文学的演讲后，被一位老妇人全盘反驳了所有观点。老妇人说“世界，实际上是驮在大乌龟背上的...  

7.当爱因斯坦说到“上帝不掷骰子”的时候，他错了。鉴于黑洞给予我们的暗示，上帝不仅掷筛子，而且往往将骰子掷到我们看不见的地方以迷惑我们。 6.我注意到就连那些声称凡事皆为命中注定、我们无法去做任何改变的人，过马路的时候时也会一样的小心翼翼。 5.我的目标很简单，就...  

这本科普读物我前前后后看了6年。2003年初，我浏览了书中所有的彩图、注释及部分章节，这一切对于当时的我来说充满新奇却也过于深奥。2007年夏，我又拿起了这本平时只当是插画书信手翻看的精装硬皮书，认认真真地读了前五章，到第五章涉及量子物理时候彻底晕了。于是再次放下了...  

用户评价

通俗到大概只要求高中英语水平，而且像科幻小说一样抓人。读完一是越发想不通广义相对论，二是更坚信造物主的存在了。

脑洞大开，好像瞬间看懂星际穿越和三体了。

Hawking proposed superstrings as the unified theory, and the anthropic principle as troubleshooting. The no-boundary proposal is insightful. Science is the validation of theory, not the reflection of reality.
