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.
弦理论貌似很可能统一量子理论与广义相对论,而且还把以前未能解决的引力子包括了进去,实在是很美妙。宇宙中的一切事物都是。。。音乐。。。令人沉醉。
评分 评分首先开宗明义,这是我读到现在感觉最棒的一本关于高能物理和宇宙理论的书。认真读过的收获绝对不仅仅在于了解了一些我们知不知道都无关紧要的理论而已,更重要的是让我知道了什么样的科普可以叫得上好科普。之前读过的基本相关的书籍,总是在这里或是那里有些囫囵吞枣,对于读...
评分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...
评分看起来有点费劲,翻译有一定的问题。但是配合BBC的《The elegant Universe》一起看会很有意思。
