具体描述

内容简介

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.

作者简介

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.

  蓝徽容并不心惊,淡然地回望着他,他的五官,与简璟辰有几分相似,只是眉眼更为开阔,多了几分豪飞之意,他的眼神,也比简璟辰多了几分威严肃杀之意。

那么,宇宙中的黑洞我们怎样来解释呢?假设,宇宙中的黑洞就像我们人体中的血管一样,试想,一个细胞或者一个极小的分子假如一旦落入了血管中,那会是怎样的情形呢?此时这个细胞或组织就根本无法左右自己了,对于它来讲,这个速度就像我们想像的光速一样是不可能达到的。

他的话音未落,门环响了,进来的是那位老爷的仆人。一进门就大声嚷嚷:“不用做了!老爷还没到家就死在车里了。太太对我说:‘你去告诉鞋匠,靴子不用做了,赶快拿那块料做一双给死人穿的便鞋。’”

“这是五六年前的事了,”她说,“那时候我和我男人在乡下种地,跟她们的父母是邻居。那家只有当家的一个男人,在林子里干活。有一回,一棵树放倒的时候压在他身上,把五脏六腑都快压出来了,抬到家就断了气。那个星期他女人生下一对女儿,就是这两个。家里穷,又没人帮忙,那女人孤零零地生下孩子,又孤零零地死了。

有一天,有个女人上鞋匠家来了,身上穿得干干净净,一手牵着一个穿皮袄、戴绒头巾的小姑娘。两个小姑娘长得一模一样,只是其中一个左腿有毛病,一步一跛的。
