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."

“北冥有鱼,其名为鲲。鲲之大,不知其几千里也。” ,与此对应,银河系的浩瀚,恒星中的太阳(50亿年),及各大行星,其中我们人类赖以生存的恒星地球,诞生于45亿年前。这样的时间概念,对于一个人,真要认真思索一下它的终极意义。探索自己和宇宙的过程中,顺其自然地出现了宗...
评分我一直以来的印象,科学与宗教就是一对冤家,特别是生长于“科学春天”的这代人,不知不觉就站到了信奉科学的队伍当中,而宗教只留给我一种导人为善的手段的印象,虽没有反感之心,但每当看到有人打着宗教旗帜去损人利己时,不禁对宗教产生怀疑。 人生总免不了要面对一个又一个...
评分01 宇宙的起源在哪里?那个体积无限小质量无限大的奇点如何理解?“一个简单的热平衡”如何解释前宇宙状态下没有时间、没有空间,也没有物质的存在?总之,“无限”这个词是人们的直觉无法理解的。人类的思维适用于时间和空间的限定,离开或超越这两个概念,一切都显得模糊不清...
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...
评分必须首先承认,谈论这本书是我迄今为止干过的唯一狂妄的事情。 我说的这本书,且不说作者如何了得(保罗•戴维斯先生是大名鼎鼎的英国宇宙物理学家),单说这书名就挺吓人:《上帝与新物理学》。上帝,新物理学,这两个宏伟的词,一看就叫人眼晕,况且中间还有一个“与”! ...
