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.
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.
读过好些本第一推动系列,这本感觉是很认真的以专业口吻在科普,甚至是循循善诱的导师对弟子的感觉。 因为已经看过了《星际穿越》,其实这本书序言和零散在各章的有许多星际穿越的故事碎片和理论探讨。读这本书,不觉得是被科普,而觉得随着索恩一起到引力的殿堂中去,感觉应...

评分这是一本带你初入物理天堂的好书。 首先,对于一个文科生而言,这是一本能够带给你很多“新鲜”知识的好书。作者开始讲一个故事开始,而后从介绍近现代的物理理论史娓娓道来,可以说是囊括了整个物理学界在近代史的发展脉络,以前我只知道爱因斯坦很牛,简直就是心...
评分花了一两个星期啃完,真的是啃,喂,不是说科普吗,为什么读得还这么艰难。看完书,除了记住了几个八卦(啊,为什么看完书好几个月了,我还能完整地复述出来),别的看完就忘或者说压根就没看懂……呜呜呜呜,脑子不好,还有救吗?
评分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.....
Kip Thorne是个了不起的作家,阅读体验太好了
