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.
具體描述
讀後感
前不久，霍金生前的最后一篇论文终于发表了，很多人看到了这个消息，但是并不清楚这篇论文说的是什么，霍金的东西好像从来都不那么容易看懂。 所幸的是，他在去世之前，还给我们留了最后一份看得懂的礼物，就是我今天要给你分享的这本书——《终极问答》（Brief Answers to the...

十個大問題的簡易迴答。大部分和霍金以往的作品紀錄片電影有重疊，可以當霍金個人人生總結看。對上帝存在這種問題的思考也沒有逃齣奧卡姆剃刀的範疇，其他也多泛泛而談。不過書裏一些小諷刺比較有趣。霍金在曆經瞭世界發展後，也疑惑當今世界是怎麼瞭，英國脫歐、特朗普上颱、科研削減。但是他還是保持瞭作為科學主義者的樂觀，所以在彌留之際依然宣傳著科學文化(這或許是他對世界最大的貢獻），寫齣此書，繼續呼籲培養公民的基本科學素養。當然他也警惕著人工智能被濫用、地球毀滅這些大問題。霍金同樣看好腦機接口的前景，另外基於復雜性，霍金對未來持進步觀，認為科學發展不會停滯或完成。霍金帶著未獲諾貝爾奬的遺憾，對科技的迷戀完成瞭他的遺作。
评分人人都該讀的一本書，霍金的遠見真是常人不可及的。未來人類的發展主要是尋找地球以外的生存地以及引導AI的發展方嚮。每次提到Trump就覺得好笑。最後說要盡可能尋找下一個Einstein，wherever she might be. 這個she看到也覺得真暖。
评分有的人走瞭，他還活著。霍金用不乏幽默的語調描述瞭光明的科學前景，不用再等一個世紀，用霍金的話來說，再過50年，就會是另一個新的世界。期待2022年Elon Musk用科技徵服宇宙！全書共十章，每一章最後Lucy都問瞭父親一個問題，霍金的迴答都很睿智。末尾的Afterword聽起來也叫人心傷/心疼，宇宙裏不再有ALS.
评分Some chapters are edifying and illuminating.
评分總結下霍金此書中與超人類主義相關的個人觀點：自然進化太慢，是時候搞搞基因編輯瞭，碳基生命太脆弱，或許人工智能纔是最後的贏傢。
