The Theory of Everything - The Origin and Fate of the Universe pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載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.

一个杯子摔在地上碎了,杯子从一种有序的状态变成一种无序的碎片状态。杯子摔碎是必然的,因为这是宇宙原理决定的。 反过来,一堆在地上的杯子碎片,我们把他重新拼起来,碎片从一种无序的状态变成一种有序的状态。但是在拼臭的过程中一部分能量由动能转化成热能消耗掉了,宇宙...

在扇貝上讀的英文本,當然不是很懂。大體的脈絡能瞭解。擁有宇宙視角可以讓你看淡很多紛紛擾擾。所有人類的事情從宇宙的尺度來看,你肯定會淡然很多。

一定要再讀讀中文版 雖然讀起來有些吃力 對於文科生來說也算走齣舒適區拓寬眼界瞭 我愛浩瀚宇宙 緻敬霍金先生#1904

關於廣義相對論和黑洞,宇宙學的科普。雖然很多來龍去脈非常熟悉,快速重溫一遍仍是值得的。讀霍金的書不必在乎他的名氣,隻看他想要討論的內容即可。

Probably the last book finished within this year. What is a string theory?
