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.
第一次接触超弦理论,本人对相对论和量子力学的理解也处于高中生的科普水平,一口气读下来,没有什么障碍,真是酣畅淋漓,大呼过瘾!作者的文笔在科普作家里堪称世界一流,深入浅出,一路讲故事般娓娓道来,引人入胜. 本书以近代物理史上的三次冲突为线索,演绎出狭义相对论,广义相对论...
评分历时四个月终于读完了第一遍,不过我这个脑子还是得再读几遍。 敬佩研究理论物理的学者,这是前人没有走过的道路,也许今生也无法看到它们得以证实,又或者终其一生追寻的终极理论从一开始方向就错了,但这就是科学的魅力。 高中最喜欢物理,当时认为物理是冰冷的、只有一种答...
评分 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。
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...
