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.
##Q&A in a theoretical level. Good for outsiders but lame for peers
評分##中文譯本易讀,標注一下以免重復
評分##有的人走瞭,他還活著。霍金用不乏幽默的語調描述瞭光明的科學前景,不用再等一個世紀,用霍金的話來說,再過50年,就會是另一個新的世界。期待2022年Elon Musk用科技徵服宇宙!全書共十章,每一章最後Lucy都問瞭父親一個問題,霍金的迴答都很睿智。末尾的Afterword聽起來也叫人心傷/心疼,宇宙裏不再有ALS.
評分##瘋狂吐槽Brexit和Trump。第一章解釋上帝是否存在的問題上特彆簡潔和理性,以至於在讀的另一本關於心理學的書裏作者極力推崇的“信仰”理論在我這裏完全破碎瞭。
評分##Q&A in a theoretical level. Good for outsiders but lame for peers
評分##霍老師可能不是最完美的科學傢 但是確實很有智慧和寫作天賦。
評分##朗讀者小本。
評分##總結下霍金此書中與超人類主義相關的個人觀點:自然進化太慢,是時候搞搞基因編輯瞭,碳基生命太脆弱,或許人工智能纔是最後的贏傢。
評分##3/25-4/3/2019. 對霍金迴答“為什麼上帝不存在”和他舉辦的時間旅行者party印象深刻。
