A new edition of the New York Times bestsellernow a three-part Nova special on PBS-TV coming in Fall 2003: a fascinating and thought-provoking journey through the mysteries of space, time, and matter. Now with a new preface (not in any other edition) that will review the enormous public reception of the relatively obscure string theorymade possible by this book and an increased number of adherents amongst physicists The Elegant Universe "sets a standard that will be hard to beat" ( New York Times Book Review ). Brian Greene, one of the world's leading string theorists, peels away the layers of mystery surrounding string theory to reveal a universe that consists of eleven dimensions, where the fabric of space tears and repairs itself, and all matterfrom the smallest quarks to the most gargantuan supernovasis generated by the vibrations of microscopically tiny loops of energy. Today physicists and mathematicians throughout the world are feverishly working on one of the most ambitious theories ever proposed: superstring theory. String theory, as it is often called, is the key to the Unified Field Theory that eluded Einstein for more than thirty years. Finally, the century-old antagonism between the large and the small-General Relativity and Quantum Theory-is resolved. String theory proclaims that all of the wondrous happenings in the universe, from the frantic dancing of subatomic quarks to the majestic swirling of heavenly galaxies, are reflections of one grand physical principle and manifestations of one single entity: microscopically tiny vibrating loops of energy, a billionth of a billionth the size of an atom. In this brilliantly articulated and refreshingly clear book, Greene relates the scientific story and the human struggle behind twentieth-century physics' search for a theory of everything. Through the masterful use of metaphor and analogy, The Elegant Universe makes some of the most sophisticated concepts ever contemplated viscerally accessible and thoroughly entertaining, bringing us closer than ever to understanding how the universe works.
这本讲弦论的书挺开脑洞的。对于一个还没有办法被证实或者证伪,更像是一套数学框架的理论,能讲成这样已经很好了。当然我看完还是不懂弦论。最大的收获其实是怎么想象理解高维空间,另外用弦论去修正标准宇宙模型那部分也很脑洞大。 不过需要吐槽的是感觉作者写到最后不知道...
评分《环球科学》4月刊讯,100年前《科学美国人》上刊登的一篇有关宇宙历史和大尺度结构(large-scale structure)的文章,几乎完全错了。 1908年,科学家们相信,我们身处的这个星系就是整个宇宙。他们认为宇宙就是被无尽的虚空包围着的一群孤独的恒星,因此宇宙又被称为“宇宙...
评分因为迷TBBT的耳朵同学,于是想了解弦论,被推荐看这本书。说实话,开始没抱什么希望。俺天生就是个对物理很排斥的人,以前看过《时间简史》当时觉得我这么有限的脑容量,这辈子都不想和这些东西有什么关联~~ 这本书倒真出乎意料~~作者没有用任何的数学公式,也没有什么拗口复杂...
评分建议看之前可以先看看纪录片《优雅的宇宙(The Elegant Universe)》大致了解一下超弦理论。看得还算用心,但还是时常被一些名词弄得头昏脑胀。以及一些说到多维空间和模型的问题,还是要花点心思的。十维空间加上一维时间的模型,听起来真是让人又欣喜又头痛。 但作者已经尽...
