How did the universe begin and how will it end? What is matter? What is mind, and can it survive death? What are time and space, and how do they relate to ideas about God? Is the order of the universe the result of accident or design? The most profound and age-old questions of existence -- for centuries the focus of religion and philosophy -- may soon be answered through the extraordinary advances of a field of science known as the new physics. In this illuminating work, Paul Davies, author of the acclaimed "Other Worlds" and "The Edge of Infinity, " writes that the discoveries of 20th-century physics -- relativity and the quantum theory -- are now pointing the way to a new appreciation of man and his place in the universe. They could, in fact, bring within our grasp a unified description of all creation. Demanding a radical reformulation of the most fundamental aspects of reality and a way of thinking that is in closer accord with mysticism than materialism, the new physics, says Davies, offers a surer path to God than religion. Described by "The Washington Post" as "impressive," "God and the New Physics" is a fascinating look at the impact of science on what were formerly religious issues. Elegantly written, a book for both scholars and lay readers of science, it is, according to the "Christian Science Monitor, " a "provocative...rewarding intellectual romp."

生命力是什么 我在思考“瘾从何来”这个问题时(见http://www.douban.com/review/2884871/),我发现,所有的瘾的形成的内在动力都是一样的,这个动力就是生命力。我之前并没有了解过生命力,在那个时候,我只是很自然地想到了这个词。也就是说,生命力有一种方向性,可以打个...
评分量子力学的测不准原理并不能作为人类具有自由意识的佐证,因为粒子无关因果性的突然出现/消失,实际上更有可能干扰人类的思维,而非保证人类思维的自由,就好像人脑中安插了一个外接的开关,毫无规律地乱拨人脑的状态一样。 所以更基本的还是意识从何而来的问题。如果神经元状...
评分这是一本讨论新物理学在哲学上的意义和启示的书。它介绍了关于宇宙起源及之后发展的物理学解释,在此基础上对“上帝”、“第一推动”、“生命”的本质、什么是“精神”等问题做出了探讨。为此,涉及到了许多哲学上的问题,比如“整体论和还原论”、“伸缩的时间和因果关系”、...
评分此书运用物理论点来解释哲学与宗教问题,逻辑紧凑,娓娓道来是喜欢哲学但对物理观点了解不多同学不可多得的佳作。 虽然作者说科学是以逻辑实证主义为基础,脚踏实地了解世界改变世界的工具。此书探讨的主要问题却是形式的(不是形式我也看不懂),下面是我阅毕后以尝试简短解答的...
