內容簡介

Roger Penrose, one of the most accomplished scientists of our time, presents the only comprehensive and comprehensible account of the physics of the universe. From the very first attempts by the Greeks to grapple with the complexities of our known world to the latest application of infinity in physics, The Road to Reality carefully explores the movement of the smallest atomic particles and reaches into the vastness of intergalactic space. Here, Penrose examines the mathematical foundations of the physical universe, exposing the underlying beauty of physics and giving us one the most important works in modern science writing.

作者簡介

Roger Penrose is Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University. He has received a number of prizes and awards, including the 1988 Wolf Prize for physics, which he shared with Stephen Hawking for their joint contribution to our understanding of the universe. His books include The Emperor's New Mind, Shadows of the Mind, and The Nature of Space and Time, which he wrote with Hawking. He has lectured extensively at universities throughout America. He lives in Oxford.

根據現代宇宙學中最有影響的大爆炸學說，我們的宇宙是大約150億年前由一個非常小的點爆炸産生的，宇宙仍在膨脹。這一學說得到大量天文觀測的證實。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

這一學說認為，宇宙誕生初期，溫度非常高，隨著宇宙的膨脹，溫度開始降低，中子、質子、電子産生瞭。此後，這些基本粒子就形成瞭各種元素，這些物質微粒相互吸引、融閤，形成越來越大的團塊，這些團塊又逐漸演化成星係、恒星、行星，在個彆的天體上還齣現瞭生命現象，能夠認識宇宙的人類最終誕生瞭。
