  • 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 ...

  • 費曼的6堂Easy物理課(改版)

    Six Easy PiecesEssentials of Physics Explained by Its Most Brilli

    Series series 科學文化
    公式閃一旁物理不再霧煞煞物理不再霧煞煞這本《費曼的6堂Easy物理課》,是直接從《費曼物理學講義》精選出來的。原先重輯的目的,是要讓一般讀者從那部劃時代的名著內、不太複雜的頭幾章文字裡,直接見識一下費曼的教育家風采。不料這本小書遠遠超出了我們的預期,它成為非科學家的物理學入門,也被用來當作介紹費曼這位偉人的初階讀物。本書在題材選擇上,旨意不在使它成為近代物理學的概述,而是提供一個體驗費曼物理觀的引子……第二次世界大戰後不久,物理學的基礎已經相當穩定,理論結構也漸臻成熟,唯獨的負面形勢,就是袖手旁觀、跟著起鬨的人多,真正動手動腦、從事開創的人少。費曼自甫出校門,即邁入一個充滿許多抽象概念的奇境,然後他把個人獨創品牌的思想,深植... ...

  • 費曼的6堂Easy相對論

    Six Not-So-Easy Pieces

    Series series 科學文化
    《費曼的6堂Easy相對論》也是從《費曼物理學講義》精選出來的。它有一個跟《費曼的6堂Easy物理課》不太一樣的地方,就是《費曼的6堂Easy物理課》跨越了物理學的好幾個領域,從力學到熱力學再到原子物理。你手裡捧著的這6篇講義,則是全部圍繞著同一個焦點主題。此主題曾經引起近代物理學史上許多最革命性的發現,以及一些完全出人意表的理論。諸如從黑洞到蛀孔、從原子能到時間彎曲。我們所說的主題當然不是別個,正是相對論。不過依我們的淺見,即使偉大的相對論之父,愛因斯坦先生本人,也似乎比不上這位來自大蘋果(紐約市)的費曼先生,能夠把愛因斯坦這套理論的內外精華、有什麼妙用、以及所涉及的基本觀念,解釋得如此完美,直教人不得不擊節讚嘆。——Perseus Books 出版緣起作者簡介理查.費曼(Richard... ...
