虽然没什么生词,但是看得好吃力啊
评分This, "The theory of Everything", is quite interesting, which demonstrates not only the development of universe theories in which almost all the famous physicists, from Aristole to Einstein and Stephen Hawking himself, were involved, but also the thought-provoking ideas, although some parts of it are beyond understanding.
评分Probably the last book finished within this year. What is a string theory?
评分一定要再读读中文版 虽然读起来有些吃力 对于文科生来说也算走出舒适区拓宽眼界了 我爱浩瀚宇宙 致敬霍金先生#1904
评分本书对我来说最大的意义就是知识的固化对于理解新思想来说是多么强大的阻碍:超出经典力学范围的内容完全看不懂。英文本身很简单。
Physicist Stephen Hawking suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. The condition has progressed to the point where he can no longer speak for himself. Hawking, therefore, uses a voice synthesizer to deliver this series of popular lectures on black holes, current physics theories, and the nature of time and space. The synthesizer paces sentences oddly and slurs an occasional word; Hawking jokes about being unable to get rid of its American accent. However, listeners will soon adapt to the oddities of delivery, and once they do, will find themselves inspired by the sweep and clarity of Hawking's mind, and by his warmth and bravery.

With a title inspired as much by Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker series as Einstein, The Theory of Everything delivers almost as much as it promises. Transcribed from Stephen Hawking's Cambridge Lectures, the slim volume may not present a single theory unifying gravity with the other fundamental forces, but it does carefully explain the state of late 20th-century physics with the great scientist's characteristic humility and charm. Explicitly shunning math, Hawking explains the fruits of 100 years of heavy thinking with metaphors that are simple but never condescending--he compares the settling of the newborn universe into symmetry to the formation of ice crystals in a glass of water, for example. While he explores his own work (especially when speaking about black holes), he also discusses the important milestones achieved by others like Richard Feynman. Though occasionally an impenetrably obscure phrase does slip by, the reader will find the bulk of the text enlightening and engaging. The material, from the nature of time to the possibility that the universe has no beginning or end, is rich and deep and inevitably ignites metaphysical thinking. After all, Hawking is famous for his "we would know the mind of God" remark, which ends the final lecture herein. --Rob Lightner --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
说出来我自己都不信,这居然是我认真读完的第一本霍金的著作——要知道,他成名很久了。想想原因,一是曾经也看过《时间简史》,看了没多久看不下去了,有点难懂,就放弃了;二是当时兴趣也不大,没有看下去的动力,当然这是最主要的。 而现在为什么能看完呢,一是得益于大刘,...
评分《宇宙简史》是把霍金的7次讲演稿合编而成的一本小书,内容多与他的《时间简史》重复。 霍金认为关于大统一的万物理论存在三种可能,我认为还有第四种,那就是:存在万物理论,但人类永远找不到它。因为人类获得的所有的知识也即所有理论都是为了求存,而非求真!“真”是永远...
评分恒星的视亮度取决于光度与它离我们有多远。 大量气体在自引力的作用下坍缩形成一颗恒星。(自引力?强作用力与弱作用力?)恒星—引力与气体之间的压力形成平衡。白矮星—引力与电子间不相容原理斥力形成平衡。中子星—引力与中子和质子间的不相容原理斥力平衡。 相对论中不存...
评分霍金认为存在一个能完美解释世界的真理,同时这个发现将发生在不久的未来。到了那个时候,事情并没有结束。因为寻找方法发现真理,再去解释它,是两件事情。 人对未知总是充满好奇,总想去解释这个世界。如果一个事情是否为真难以确定,可能就会将它放在一边不去管,或者尝试去...
