Roger Penrose is Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University. He has received a number of prizes and awards, including the 1988 Wolf Prize for physics, which he shared with Stephen Hawking for their joint contribution to our understanding of the universe. His books include The Emperor’s New Mind, Shadows of the Mind, and The Nature of Space and Time, which he wrote with Hawking. He has lectured extensively at universities throughout America. He lives in Oxford.

From one of our greatest living scientists, a magnificent book that provides, for the serious lay reader, the most comprehensive and sophisticated account we have yet had of the physical universe and the essentials of its underlying mathematical theory.

Since the earliest efforts of the ancient Greeks to find order amid the chaos around us, there has been continual accelerated progress toward understanding the laws that govern our universe. And the particularly important advances made by means of the revolutionary theories of relativity and quantum mechanics have deeply altered our vision of the cosmos and provided us with models of unprecedented accuracy.

What Roger Penrose so brilliantly accomplishes in this book is threefold. First, he gives us an overall narrative description of our present understanding of the universe and its physical behaviors–from the unseeable, minuscule movement of the subatomic particle to the journeys of the planets and the stars in the vastness of time and space.

Second, he evokes the extraordinary beauty that lies in the mysterious and profound relationships between these physical behaviors and the subtle mathematical ideas that explain and interpret them.

Third, Penrose comes to the arresting conclusion–as he explores the compatibility of the two grand classic theories of modern physics–that Einstein’s general theory of relativity stands firm while quantum theory, as presently constituted, still needs refashioning.

Along the way, he talks about a wealth of issues, controversies, and phenomena; about the roles of various kinds of numbers in physics, ideas of calculus and modern geometry, visions of infinity, the big bang, black holes, the profound challenge of the second law of thermodynamics, string and M theory, loop quantum gravity, twistors, and educated guesses about science in the near future. In The Road to Reality he has given us a work of enormous scope, intention, and achievement–a complete and essential work of science

从古希腊人探寻我们身边的秩序与混沌的最早期的努力开始,人们对支配着我们生活的宇宙的法则的理解也在不断加速。而通过相对论与量子力学这样的革命性理论而取得的重要进展,已经深刻地改变了我们观察宇宙的视野。在这本书中,作者Roger Penrose首先对我们目前对宇宙的理解给出一个全面的概述,从我们看不到的亚原子粒子的微小运动到漫天星斗的运行。在物质的世界与用以解释和描述它们的微妙的数理概念之间存在一种关系,揭示这一关系中所呈现的美是作者接下来要做的事。在此基础上,作者又进而对现有的理论加以思考。依着这一思路,他在此书讨论了大量的问题、争论以及现象,不仅是前面提到的相对论,还包括正诱惑着科学家们智慧的膜理论等。作者彭罗斯早已为中国读者所熟悉,他曾于1988年与霍金共同分享当年授予物理学家的沃尔夫奖。他的作品《皇帝新脑》、《时空本性》(与霍金合著)此前曾在我国翻译出版。来自《星期天泰晤士报》的评论说,彭罗斯的书揭示了纠结在自然与人类想像力之间的美与精妙之处。

太难了,读不下去了。 看来我的数学基础还是太差啊,读到复变函数相关开始就读不太下去了。看来要把下面的相关习题严格完成才能往下读,否则真是“雁渡寒潭,风过疏林”了。 有人把《时空本性》评价为中国曾经出版过的最“高深”的科普书,现在看来这本书也不差。有趣的是,这...

一般的读者在新华书店里随手翻翻就好了,这注定是一本无法"流行"科普书..........说实话这么一部大部头,这么多物理专业名词还外加这么多恼人的数学公式.........称它为科普书就太勉为其难了.........罗杰·彭罗斯是位了不起的科学家(离伟大还有很远)但他注定是位很平庸的科普作...

书断断续续看了一半,看得实在是很痛苦。 中文版的书充满了差错,差错主要集中在以下几个方面: 1,英文版的错误,中文翻译时没有改正; 2,翻译不知所云(估计译者没有理解原文的意思); 3,充斥着打印错误。 本来看中文版,就是图个省事。毕竟对英语的熟悉程度不如母语。...

实在就是按照自己的设计的实现。实在就是按照实体的内部结构一一展现在自己的内心。实在就是按照预定计划实现自己的目的。实在是按照自己特征在自己的世界中的作用而显示自己的作用。实在是按照自己的具体的实现从而在现实中显现自己的能力。

太难,放弃

本科生和优秀高中生都能读,物理系高年级本科生也许会感觉比较鸡肋哈

我们的科学教育,从来不是太难了,而是太简单了。简单到只剩下最表皮的东西,简单到阻断了所有通往事物本质的思考回路,所以记忆中那些好天气里的一堂堂数学课,其费解和烦躁是再旺盛的求知欲也消解不了的,还不如只是干巴巴的把彭罗斯得书逐字逐句念一遍。
