Stephen Hawking was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge for thirty years and the recipient of numerous awards and honors including the Presidential Medal of Freedom. His books for the general reader include My Brief History, the classic A Brief History of Time, the essay collection Black Holes and Baby Universes, The Universe in a Nutshell, and, with Leonard Mlodinow, A Briefer History of Time and The Grand Design. He also co-authored a series of children’s books with his daughter, beginning with George’s Secret Key to the Universe. Stephen Hawking died in 2018.
The world-famous cosmologist and #1 bestselling author of A Brief History of Time leaves us with his final thoughts on the biggest questions facing humankind.
Stephen Hawking was the most renowned scientist since Einstein, known both for his groundbreaking work in physics and cosmology and for his mischievous sense of humor. He educated millions of readers about the origins of the universe and the nature of black holes, and inspired millions more by defying a terrifying early prognosis of ALS, which originally gave him only two years to live. In later life he could communicate only by using a few facial muscles, but he continued to advance his field and serve as a revered voice on social and humanitarian issues.
Hawking not only unraveled some of the universe’s greatest mysteries but also believed science plays a critical role in fixing problems here on Earth. Now, as we face immense challenges on our planet—including climate change, the threat of nuclear war, and the development of artificial intelligence—he turns his attention to the most urgent issues facing us.
Will humanity survive? Should we colonize space? Does God exist? These are just a few of the questions Hawking addresses in this wide-ranging, passionately argued final book from one of the greatest minds in history.
Featuring a foreword by Eddie Redmayne, who won an Oscar playing Stephen Hawking, an introduction by Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne, and an afterword from Hawking’s daughter, Lucy, Brief Answers to the Big Questions is a brilliant last message to the world.

评分1985年霍金因手术失去了说话能力之后,他一度怀疑自己是否能继续学术生涯。后来众所周知有了辅助说话机。但还有一个问题就是:公式怎么写……答案是LaTeX。有没有顿时觉得自己距离霍金很近? 《时间简史》也是在那前后写作的,写作原因,有一个是为了女儿Lucy的学费。因此,霍...
评分生在这个时代,能如此轻易地阅读伟人一生的思考,是何其幸运。 霍金不仅是一位伟大的科学家,更是一位心怀天下的伟人。他将一些开阔而发散的思考带入到我们枯燥的生活中:作为人类我们该如何思考种族的命运,我们对科技的发展和宇宙的探索,是改善生活的奇思妙想,还是避免毁灭...
评分 评分这本实体书不是很厚,但里面的内容很丰富。 1上帝存在吗? 这对我一个无神论者来说的答案是:不存在的。 何为上帝?是创造了某个物才能成为上帝。人类是从动物演化而来的。 2宇宙中存在其他智慧生物吗?答案:存在的。有比人类高级的生物、有比人类低级的生物。 3如果人类设法...
