内容简介
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ?
Published more than two decades ago to great critical acclaim and commercial success,
A Brief History of Time has become a landmark volume in science writing. Stephen Hawking, one of the great minds of our time, explores such profound questions as: How did the universe begin—and what made its start possible? Does time always flow forward? Is the universe unending—or are there boundaries? Are there other dimensions in space? What will happen when it all ends?
?
Told in language we all can understand,
A Brief History of Time plunges into the exotic realms of black holes and quarks, of antimatter and “arrows of time,” of the big bang and a bigger God—where the possibilities are wondrous and unexpected. With exciting images and profound imagination, Stephen Hawking brings us closer to the ultimate secrets at the very heart of creation.

“[Hawking] can explain the complexities of cosmological physics with an engaging combination of clarity and wit. . . . His is a brain of extraordinary power.”—
The New York Review of Books ?
“Lively and provocative . . . Mr. Hawking clearly possesses a natural teacher’s gifts—easy, good-natured humor and an ability to illustrate highly complex propositions with analogies plucked from daily life.”—
The New York Times ?
“Even as he sits helpless in his wheelchair, his mind seems to soar ever more brilliantly across the vastness of space and time to unlock the secrets of the universe.”—
Time ?
“This book marries a child’s wonder to a genius’s intellect. We journey into Hawking’s universe while marvelling at his mind.”—
The Sunday Times (London)
?
“A masterful summary of what physicists now think the world is made of and how it got that way.”—
The Wall Street Journal ?

作者成功地把妙趣横生的故事和对科学内容的阐述联姻,丝丝入扣,不露痕迹。故事讲完了,科学现象的画面变得清晰,而其中又真切地交融了科学家在探索过程中所显示的无与伦比的睿智和坚韧不拔的努力。作者在最后一章关于意识问题的讨论时,动情地描述了克里克(1962年诺奖得主)沉疴罹身,仍然孜孜不倦地钻研意识研究的重要问题,并且发表了不少真知灼见,展现了一位伟大科学家对科学的献身精神。好书,认真读。
