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.
“I ask myself, as I come to the end of fifteen years of on-and-off writing (mostly off), “What is the single most important thing that you want your readers to learn?” My answer: the amazing power of the human mind—by fits and starts, blind alleys, and ...
評分愚人节,在Chopin琴曲的陪伴下,看完了《黑洞与时间弯曲》。 海伯利安的开头,领事在雷暴雨里弹钢琴;星际穿越里的配乐都是钢琴的琴声,我在读这本书的时候,逐渐感受到: 钢琴曲和深邃的宇宙如此匹配,是不是因为宇宙就是一张不断颤抖着的钢琴呢? 没有想象中的枯燥,虽然的确...
評分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...
評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.....
比較好的學院派科普,時候想要從事這方麵工作的人閱讀。
评分對各位科學傢的評價幾有啓發 :-)
评分Best astrophysics book for me!
评分Kip在我心中變得日益偉大,很想在他活著的時候見他一麵。這本書優點太多瞭,漸漸也有瞭自己的讀的方式,最後三章關於黑洞本質,量子引力,時間機器的討論還沒看。 準備寫一篇讀書筆記,特彆是四五六三章。
评分Thorne和Guth是寫科普寫的最好的一流物理學傢,霍金不是。他們兩位有三個共同的優點:一是能把很復雜的物理概念用很清晰的物理圖景描述齣來;第二,這不但是一本好的科普書,還是一本很好的科學史書,把從廣義相對論誕生到二十世紀九十年代與黑洞研究相關的曆史、人物寫得精彩紛呈,好多掌故我都是第一次聽說;第三,整本書的語氣自信而不傲慢,有趣而親切。
