Kip Thorne is the Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics Emeritus at Caltech, an executive producer for Interstellar, and the author of books including the bestselling Black Holes and Time Warps. He lives in Pasadena, California.
Which of these bizarre phenomena, if any, can really exist in our universe? Black holes, down which anything can fall but from which nothing can return; wormholes, short spacewarps connecting regions of the cosmos; singularities, where space and time are so violently warped that time ceases to exist and space becomes a kind of foam; gravitational waves, which carry symphonic accounts of collisions of black holes billions of years ago; and time machines, for traveling backward and forward in time. Kip Thorne, along with fellow theorists Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose, a cadre of Russians, and earlier scientists such as Oppenheimer, Wheeler and Chandrasekhar, has been in the thick of the quest to secure answers. In this masterfully written and brilliantly informed work of scientific history and explanation, Dr. Thorne, the Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech, leads his readers through an elegant, always human, tapestry of interlocking themes, coming finally to a uniquely informed answer to the great question: what principles control our universe and why do physicists think they know the things they think they know? Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time has been one of the greatest best-sellers in publishing history. Anyone who struggled with that book will find here a more slowly paced but equally mind-stretching experience, with the added fascination of a rich historical and human component.
很惭愧,这样一本独一无二的书,我最近才把它读完。实在非常后悔我没有在做研究生的时候读完这本书。不过现在读完,对正在改革开放的我仍然有很大的影响。 买到这本书的时候我还是个物理学的大一新生,被书中的精彩的插图吸引才花钱把它从图书大厦的殿堂请到我...
评分别看这本书名字挺吓人,但实际这书用非常通俗的语言,讲述了二十世纪现代物理学的发展过程。这本书不是干巴巴的物理学科普,而是有人有物有情的物理历史故事。这书算是科技史,但又深入到那些科学家思维的深处,跟着他们的思考过程,自己仿佛也走了一遍探索现代物理学最深奥的...

Kip Thorne是个了不起的作家,阅读体验太好了
评分我看过的唯一一本黑洞书。。。。。。
评分我看过的唯一一本黑洞书。。。。。。
评分Thorne和Guth是写科普写的最好的一流物理学家,霍金不是。他们两位有三个共同的优点:一是能把很复杂的物理概念用很清晰的物理图景描述出来;第二,这不但是一本好的科普书,还是一本很好的科学史书,把从广义相对论诞生到二十世纪九十年代与黑洞研究相关的历史、人物写得精彩纷呈,好多掌故我都是第一次听说;第三,整本书的语气自信而不傲慢,有趣而亲切。
评分Best astrophysics book for me!
