史蒂芬·霍金(Stephen Hawking, 1942- ),现任剑桥大学卢卡斯数学教授。他广被推崇为继爱因斯坦后最杰出的理论物理学家。霍金的主要著作有《时间简史》、《霍金讲演录——黑洞、婴儿宇宙及其他》和《果壳中的宇宙》。
Book Description
"A Brief History of Time", published in 1988, has been a landmark volume in scientific writing and in worldwide acclaim and popularity, with more than nine million copies sold. That edition was on the cutting edge of what was then known about the nature of the universe. Since its publication, however, there have been extraordinary advances in the technology of observing both the micro- and the macrocosmic world, confirming many of Professor Hawking's predictions. Eager to bring to his original text the new knowledge revealed by these observations, Hawking has written a new introduction, updated chapters throughout, and added an entirely new chapter on Wormholes and Time Travel.
"A Brief History of Time" has guided nonscientists everywhere to confront the supreme questions of the nature of time and the universe, taking them to distant galaxies, black holes, alternate dimensions — as close as man has ever ventured to the mind of God. This anniversary edition makes vividly clear why Professor Hawking's eloquent classic has transformed our view of the universe.

Stephen Hawking, one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists in history, wrote the modern classic A Brief History of Time to help nonscientists understand the questions being asked by scientists today: Where did the universe come from? How and why did it begin? Will it come to an end, and if so, how? Hawking attempts to reveal these questions (and where we're looking for answers) using a minimum of technical jargon. Among the topics gracefully covered are gravity, black holes, the Big Bang, the nature of time, and physicists' search for a grand unifying theory. This is deep science; these concepts are so vast (or so tiny) as to cause vertigo while reading, and one can't help but marvel at Hawking's ability to synthesize this difficult subject for people not used to thinking about things like alternate dimensions. The journey is certainly worth taking, for, as Hawking says, the reward of understanding the universe may be a glimpse of "the mind of God."

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...
评分首先坦白说明,我18岁,因此论述浅薄请各位指出,后辈虚心听取。 读完时间简史有种很奇妙的感觉,原先不理解为什么学习物理的霍金会被授予PHD(哲学博士)。现在觉得每一门科学的指向终极都是对世界的理解,那就是哲学,无论是毕达哥拉斯认为数就是世界,还是霍金以量子引力论...
评分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...
评分 评分……翻译作业!虽然我还是没明白怎么回事。
评分霍金在写这本书时仍然相信已经接近"A Theory of Everything“了。后来因为哥德尔(Godel)的“不完备定理”而放弃这种想法。
评分……翻译作业!虽然我还是没明白怎么回事。
评分初中第一次读,没懂,去年再看,读出霍金对读者的友好来了。今年大新闻出来,趁着劲儿终于读完后一半。能在有生之年经历引力波直接证据探测这样的时刻,能在大爆炸之后一百亿年在地球上以智慧生命思考宇宙起源,作为个体生命感到无比幸运。
评分断断续续看了三周完成的书 科普书英文读起来很容易 霍金文笔很好时不时幽默讽刺的很有意思 如果想快速看此书 读下conclusion即可 我还蛮能接受他对于universe的no boundary yet finite的解释也没开始与结束 还有 虫洞这个概念太酷了
