  • 時間的起源:史蒂芬.霍金的最終理論

    On the Origin of Time: Stephen Hawking's Final Theory

    Translated by 余韋達 ...
    Series series FROM
    「我們創造了宇宙,一如宇宙創造了我們。」——史蒂芬.霍金生前對《時間簡史》宇宙觀的顛覆性修正由霍金最密切的研究夥伴,宇宙學家湯瑪仕.赫托執筆,回溯他們二十年來的宇宙探索之旅,帶我們一覽這位傳奇物理學家對宇宙起源的最終思考。霍金去世之前不久,他告訴作者,是時候寫本新書了。本書就是那本新書。作者寫下他們重返並進入大霹靂的旅程,以及這趟旅程到最後如何讓霍金放棄多重宇宙的觀點,改用驚奇的新視角來思考時間起源;這個視角在精神與本質上都深具達爾文主義的色彩,並提供對偉大宇宙設計的全新理解。為什麼宇宙這麼適合生命發展?這是傳奇物理學家霍金生前最希望解釋的現象之一。二十多年來,霍金與他最親近的學生、朋友與研究夥伴赫托提出了以演化論為基礎、相當具顛覆性的宇宙起源理論:物理定律並非必然以當前的形式存在,而是隨宇宙誕生而出現,並和早期的宇宙共同演化;我們的觀測行為則是讓「萬有理論」成立的基礎 ...
