Are there other dimensions beyond our own? Is time travel possible? Can we change the past? Are there gateways to parallel universes? All of us have pondered such questions, but there was a time when scientists dismissed these notions as outlandish speculations. Not any more. Today, they are the focus of the most intense scientific activity in recent memory. In Hyperspace, Michio Kaku, author of the widely acclaimed Beyond Einstein and a leading theoretical physicist, offers the first book-length tour of the most exciting (and perhaps most bizarre) work in modern physics, work which includes research on the tenth dimension, time warps, black holes, and multiple universes. The theory of hyperspace (or higher dimensional space) - and its newest wrinkle, superstring theory - stand at the center of this revolution, with adherents in every major research laboratory in the world, including several Nobel laureates. Beginning where Hawking's Brief History of Time left off, Kaku paints a vivid portrayal of the breakthroughs now rocking the physics establishment. Why all the excitement? As the author points out, for over half a century, scientists have puzzled over why the basic forces of the cosmos - gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces - require markedly different mathematical descriptions. But if we see these forces as vibrations in a higher dimensional space, their field equations suddenly fit together like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle, perfectly snug, in an elegant, astonishingly simple form. This may thus be our leading candidate for the Theory of Everything. If so, it would be the crowning achievement of 2,000 years of scientific investigation into matter and itsforces. Already, the theory has inspired several thousand research papers, and has been the focus of over 200 international conferences. Many leading scientists believe the theory will unlock the deepest secrets of creation and answer some of the most intriguing questions of all
几年前因为东方秘封组的关系忽然对“超弦理论”有了兴趣 阐述弦理论最好的著作当然是B.格林写的《宇宙的琴弦》 某位数学狂人跟我说这位格林是当代数学最好的物理学家同时也是物理最好的数学家 虽说《宇宙的琴弦》定位就是科普读物 但还是要有一些数理基础才能看得懂的 而这本加...
评分人类关于物质本性的讨论,从古希腊时期就已经不停地讨论了。事实上,或许生活在这个世界上的每个人都曾经──至少可能在小时候──问过自己,我是谁,这个世界是由什么组成的,这个世界之外是什么样子的。 这样的问题或许在绝大多数成年人眼里看来毫无意义,他们只需要知道这是...
评分人类关于物质本性的讨论,从古希腊时期就已经不停地讨论了。事实上,或许生活在这个世界上的每个人都曾经──至少可能在小时候──问过自己,我是谁,这个世界是由什么组成的,这个世界之外是什么样子的。 这样的问题或许在绝大多数成年人眼里看来毫无意义,他们只需要知道这是...
评分如果黎曼-爱因斯坦-卡鲁查-克莱因等老师的方向是正确的、那么如果在我们可以观察的空间中存在不平坦、这可能就足以说明更高维数是一定存在的、而不只是、比如说、是为啦在理论计算上的需要 也就是说、即使更高的维数不可观察、但是只要可观察的空间是不平坦的、那么这就足以说...
评分这是我阅读时间比较长的一本书。在为期一周的时间内,它伴我走过了北京、上海及江苏。读得慢,是因为此书属于理论物理,一个我非常不熟悉的领域;之所以还能卒读,是因为此书又属于科普读物。 这本书有一个不起眼的名字——《超越时空》,放在书店的书架上,我相信,没有多少...
写得很有趣
评分有趣,深入浅出。
评分写得很有趣
评分Unification of theories in higher dimensions. 其实蛮期待最后能在哲学和宗教层面多讨论一些(喂人家是物理科普书。写得很生动,对我这种layman很友好,不过中间还是读得有点吃力,怪我基础知识太缺乏了。
评分写得很有趣
