Which of these bizarre phenomena, if any, can really exist in our universe? Black holes, down which anything can fall but from which nothing can return; wormholes, short spacewarps connecting regions of the cosmos; singularities, where space and time are so violently warped that time ceases to exist and space becomes a kind of foam; gravitational waves, which carry symphonic accounts of collisions of black holes billions of years ago; and time machines, for traveling backward and forward in time. Kip Thorne, along with fellow theorists Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose, a cadre of Russians, and earlier scientists such as Oppenheimer, Wheeler and Chandrasekhar, has been in the thick of the quest to secure answers. In this masterfully written and brilliantly informed work of scientific history and explanation, Dr. Thorne, the Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech, leads his readers through an elegant, always human, tapestry of interlocking themes, coming finally to a uniquely informed answer to the great question: what principles control our universe and why do physicists think they know the things they think they know? Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time has been one of the greatest best-sellers in publishing history. Anyone who struggled with that book will find here a more slowly paced but equally mind-stretching experience, with the added fascination of a rich historical and human component.
Kip Thorne is the Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics Emeritus at Caltech, an executive producer for Interstellar, and the author of books including the bestselling Black Holes and Time Warps. He lives in Pasadena, California.
Thorne和Guth是写科普写的最好的一流物理学家,霍金不是。他们两位有三个共同的优点:一是能把很复杂的物理概念用很清晰的物理图景描述出来;第二,这不但是一本好的科普书,还是一本很好的科学史书,把从广义相对论诞生到二十世纪九十年代与黑洞研究相关的历史、人物写得精彩纷呈,好多掌故我都是第一次听说;第三,整本书的语气自信而不傲慢,有趣而亲切。

评分比较好的学院派科普,时候想要从事这方面工作的人阅读。

评分Kip在我心中变得日益伟大,很想在他活着的时候见他一面。这本书优点太多了,渐渐也有了自己的读的方式,最后三章关于黑洞本质,量子引力,时间机器的讨论还没看。 准备写一篇读书笔记,特别是四五六三章。
确实是一本非常有趣的书,关于宇宙奇点(黑洞中心)的描述让人想入非非,大爆炸既然源于奇点,产生于一个时空极大扭曲、没有体积、能量极大的“点”,匪夷所思。。。 然而老子开篇也有一段关于天地宇宙的论述:道可道,非常道,名可名,非常名;有,名天地之始,无,名天地之母.....
评分很少有人能像本書作者基普.索恩這樣對物理學發展史和關鍵概念舉重若輕。就像書中的一句話所說的——如果我們不能用簡單的思想或語言描述物理學,說明我們還沒有真正搞懂它。 天體物理學(加之高能物理學)對普羅大眾而言本應是一個難題,然而這本書卻是出奇的清晰曉...
