"A Brief History of Time", published in 1988, has been a landmark volume in scientific writing and in worldwide acclaim and popularity, with more than nine million copies sold. That edition was on the cutting edge of what was then known about the nature of the universe. Since its publication, however, there have been extraordinary advances in the technology of observing both the micro- and the macrocosmic world, confirming many of Professor Hawking's predictions. Eager to bring to his original text the new knowledge revealed by these observations, Hawking has written a new introduction, updated chapters throughout, and added an entirely new chapter on Wormholes and Time Travel.
"A Brief History of Time" has guided nonscientists everywhere to confront the supreme questions of the nature of time and the universe, taking them to distant galaxies, black holes, alternate dimensions — as close as man has ever ventured to the mind of God. This anniversary edition makes vividly clear why Professor Hawking's eloquent classic has transformed our view of the universe.
Stephen Hawking, one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists in history, wrote the modern classic A Brief History of Time to help nonscientists understand the questions being asked by scientists today: Where did the universe come from? How and why did it begin? Will it come to an end, and if so, how? Hawking attempts to reveal these questions (and where we're looking for answers) using a minimum of technical jargon. Among the topics gracefully covered are gravity, black holes, the Big Bang, the nature of time, and physicists' search for a grand unifying theory. This is deep science; these concepts are so vast (or so tiny) as to cause vertigo while reading, and one can't help but marvel at Hawking's ability to synthesize this difficult subject for people not used to thinking about things like alternate dimensions. The journey is certainly worth taking, for, as Hawking says, the reward of understanding the universe may be a glimpse of "the mind of God."
--Therese Littleton
A new edition?with pictures?for those who couldn't fathom the original.
Stephen Hawking, who was born on the anniversary of Galileo's death in 1942, holds Isaac Newton's chair as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge. Widely regarded as the most brilliant theoretical physicist since Einstein, he is also the author of Black Holes and Baby Universes, a collection of essays published in 1993, as well as numerous scientific papers and books.

巴蒂芬・霍金生于1942年,他的生日恰好与伽利略去世的纪念日是同一天。他现任剑桥大学卢卡斯数学系教授教席(这一职位曾由艾萨克・牛顿担任)。他被誉为继爱因斯坦后最杰出的理论物理学家。他于1993年出版了《霍金讲演录――黑洞、婴儿宇宙及其他》。这本书是理论物理学方面的经典著作,其中的内容已被许多科学论文和书籍引用。

史蒂芬霍金的七条名言
-
- 泪 7.当爱因斯坦说到“上帝不掷骰子”的时候,他错了。鉴于黑洞给予我们的暗示,上帝不仅掷筛子,而且往往将骰子掷到我们看不见的地方以迷惑我们。 6.我注意到就连那些声称凡事皆为命中注定、我们无法去做任何改变的人,过马路的时候时也会一样的小心翼翼。 5.我的目标很简单,就是完成我对宇宙的认知,这包括宇宙为什么是它现在的样子...... (3回应)2008-01-24 17/17有用来自 湖南科学技术出版社2002版
给自己一个理由,让世界活下去:一本读了6年的书

- 雲川(亡故我,招魂中……) 这是一部以科学的视角去探索认知我们所生活的世界的科普读物。 2003年初,我浏览了书中所有的彩图、注释及部分章节,这一切对于当时的我来说充满新奇却也过于深奥。我第一次接触到了光锥、夸克、基点、虫洞和相对论,我读不太懂,但也并没有为此很迷惑,因为这个世界太精彩了,它总能带给我不一样的惊喜,令我目不暇接。...... (8回应)2009-02-06 12/12有用来自 湖南科学技术出版社2002版
智慧以内,时空以外

- Lotus.(大家去电影院再看天王一眼吧!) 有比光更快的速度么?有,那就是思速。 这是我编的名词。大清早,一眼望穿窗外巨大的广告牌,我的思想可以穿透到宇宙的边缘,不,宇宙以最近的理论来说,是无边缘且在膨胀中。那思维可以跟它一起膨胀。没有人能证实你所想的是对是错。那完美的想像,只属于一个人--你自己。 如此幸福。在有时间之前,时间没有意义。时间是一...... (4回应)2008-06-01 3/3有用来自 湖南科学技术出版社2002版
一本不适合年轻人的著作!

- 羊毛 不管文科还是理科背景,这书都不应该造成理解或阅读障碍。只要你耐心看下去,而且作者这种表达方式非常通俗。我自己高中和大学是理科背景,尤其物理化学是最强项,可如今我是名副其实的文科背景,对理工的东西一点兴趣都不存在了。 书是90年代买的,当年还是名副其实的理科学生。可当时没让我看完这本看似理科的书籍——并不是不懂得里...... (12回应)2006-07-25 12/17有用来自 湖南科学技术出版社2003版

- duron2g 作为一名理工科学生,对HAWKING的经典著作完全可以用"膜拜"来形容.最初读<时间简史>是在高中,开始是当作课外读物来看,读下之后却发现,这本书的力量已经远远超越了一本"科普读物",在随书的书签上有句话:"读霍金,懂不懂都是收获."我承认我对书中的理论只读懂一半,但是它带给我的却是另一番感触: 人的大脑可算是宇宙中...... (4回应)2006-10-21 12/15有用来自 湖南科学技术出版社2002版

- 枪浸酒(没有力量的时代) 前几天和朋友聊天,我说现在这个时代就是没有力量,没有大哥,只有妖孽。朋友说或许有大哥我们不知道,也许是吧,不过从科学上来讲,这个大哥的存在还没有被我观测到,所以,既无法证实,也无法证伪。妖孽的存在倒是随处可见。 经常性地被一种无边无际的荒谬感击中,反复击中之后是否能形成击倒还不知道,不过暂时还没有。我对这个世界其...... (11回应)2009-11-18 6/6有用来自 湖南科学技术出版社2002版
《时间简史》-我的书评

- 普罗旺斯的车票 很有意思的一本书。每个字都能看得懂,但每一句话都让我痛苦万分。 注册豆瓣应用,这是本人推荐的第一本书,中学时候看第一遍,大学时候看了两遍。同样的看不懂,同样的热血沸腾。挺好。 很适合在城市的某个角落,给自己一杯热咖啡,暖暖的缩在小藤椅里,打开时间简史,扫上两眼。 MS蛮有小资情调的说。 光锥、夸克、基点、虫洞和广狭义......2009-11-24 来自 湖南科学技术出版社2002版

很不错的一本书
-
- FromM87 因为才上高中,知识水平有限,这本书中所讲的物理学方面的概念能完全看懂的不多,虽然霍金写得很通俗到位,看一遍下来并不会有卡住的地方,但我感觉到可以发掘的地方实在是太多了。 本书并没有教会我太多的物理知识,而是让我见识了很多奇妙的思考问题的方式。被课本弄得一片混乱的大脑被他和物理学前辈们奇迹般的思维点亮。 ......2009-11-13 来自 湖南科学技术出版社2002版
