The Theory of Everything - The Origin and Fate of the Universe pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
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.

读后感
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...
评分比《时间简史》、《大设计》、《果壳中的宇宙》翻译得好多了。 内容简洁易懂，用语科学规范，译者（原上海天文台馆长赵君亮）对援助中出现的小错误给予了准确的注释。 剩下的字只是为了凑数字了，否则没办法发布…………………………⋯………………………………………………...
评分＃阅读打卡＃《宇宙简史——起源与归宿》 计划阅读240min，实际阅读92min，完成100% 摘录： 统一理论是否如此使人信服，以至于它本身的实现不可避免？或者它的确需要一位造物主，而如果正是如此。那么除了为宇宙的存在负责之外，上帝是否还会对宇宙施以什么影响？还有，又是谁...
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...

想想些有的没的的时候，读天文学科普大概最合适了。有几章天文学和神学交织，美得难以想象。算是人类对于宇宙起源的探索的综述，“有限”和“无限”这对矛盾本身也可以形容人类的探索过程。人类世界的确带着些许阴暗的成分，自私，贪婪，权力斗争，为欲望不择手段。然而当你回顾人类文明的发展，在现今依旧闪耀着蓬勃生机，向着未知领域不断前进的人类文明面前，你只会惊叹人类的顽强与自然的神奇。人的大脑无法像三体人一样传递信息，人的寿命有限，可是人类凭着自尊，凭着对自身的困惑，凭着对自然的好奇，整个文明在传递下一步一步行走至此。人的诞生或许源自上帝渴求知己的寂寞，而同时上帝又有意设置起重重路障阻碍人在哪一天自己成为上帝。
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。
