具体描述
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.
用户评价
##补标，对于对这些问题有基本认识的读者来说还是嫌太简略
评分 评分##霍老师可能不是最完美的科学家 但是确实很有智慧和写作天赋。
评分 评分##总结下霍金此书中与超人类主义相关的个人观点：自然进化太慢，是时候搞搞基因编辑了，碳基生命太脆弱，或许人工智能才是最后的赢家。
评分 评分##人人都该读的一本书，霍金的远见真是常人不可及的。未来人类的发展主要是寻找地球以外的生存地以及引导AI的发展方向。每次提到Trump就觉得好笑。最后说要尽可能寻找下一个Einstein，wherever she might be. 这个she看到也觉得真暖。
评分 评分##有的人走了，他还活着。霍金用不乏幽默的语调描述了光明的科学前景，不用再等一个世纪，用霍金的话来说，再过50年，就会是另一个新的世界。期待2022年Elon Musk用科技征服宇宙！全书共十章，每一章最后Lucy都问了父亲一个问题，霍金的回答都很睿智。末尾的Afterword听起来也叫人心伤/心疼，宇宙里不再有ALS.
