With a title inspired as much by Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker series as Einstein, The Theory of Everything delivers almost as much as it promises. Transcribed from Stephen Hawking's Cambridge Lectures, the slim volume may not present a single theory unifying gravity with the other fundamental forces, but it does carefully explain the state of late 20th-century physics with the great scientist's characteristic humility and charm. Explicitly shunning math, Hawking explains the fruits of 100 years of heavy thinking with metaphors that are simple but never condescending--he compares the settling of the newborn universe into symmetry to the formation of ice crystals in a glass of water, for example. While he explores his own work (especially when speaking about black holes), he also discusses the important milestones achieved by others like Richard Feynman. Though occasionally an impenetrably obscure phrase does slip by, the reader will find the bulk of the text enlightening and engaging. The material, from the nature of time to the possibility that the universe has no beginning or end, is rich and deep and inevitably ignites metaphysical thinking. After all, Hawking is famous for his "we would know the mind of God" remark, which ends the final lecture herein. --Rob Lightner --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Physicist Stephen Hawking suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. The condition has progressed to the point where he can no longer speak for himself. Hawking, therefore, uses a voice synthesizer to deliver this series of popular lectures on black holes, current physics theories, and the nature of time and space. The synthesizer paces sentences oddly and slurs an occasional word; Hawking jokes about being unable to get rid of its American accent. However, listeners will soon adapt to the oddities of delivery, and once they do, will find themselves inspired by the sweep and clarity of Hawking's mind, and by his warmth and bravery.

本書對我來說最大的意義就是知識的固化對於理解新思想來說是多麼強大的阻礙:超齣經典力學範圍的內容完全看不懂。英文本身很簡單。
評分在扇貝上讀的英文本,當然不是很懂。大體的脈絡能瞭解。擁有宇宙視角可以讓你看淡很多紛紛擾擾。所有人類的事情從宇宙的尺度來看,你肯定會淡然很多。
評分This, "The theory of Everything", is quite interesting, which demonstrates not only the development of universe theories in which almost all the famous physicists, from Aristole to Einstein and Stephen Hawking himself, were involved, but also the thought-provoking ideas, although some parts of it are beyond understanding.

说出来我自己都不信,这居然是我认真读完的第一本霍金的著作——要知道,他成名很久了。想想原因,一是曾经也看过《时间简史》,看了没多久看不下去了,有点难懂,就放弃了;二是当时兴趣也不大,没有看下去的动力,当然这是最主要的。 而现在为什么能看完呢,一是得益于大刘,...
