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.

我們再從宏觀上來看，太陽係是由發光發熱的巨大的核反應堆和圍繞太陽鏇轉的幾大行星組成，太陽係中的行星，都是圍著太陽鏇轉的，不難發現，這種結構與原子的結構何其相似！銀河係的結構正像是我們瞭解的其它物質一樣，如果我們以更大的視點來看它，說它是某個巨型物質的一個分子或是一個組織細胞不是也很確切嗎？

巴羅是牛頓的老師，1673年他在擔任三一學院的院長時，為三一學院主持建造瞭幾百年後被聯閤國評定為世界文化遺産的萊恩圖書館。圖書館屋頂上佇立著由加布裏爾設計的四尊石雕，分彆象徵著四門最古老的學科：神學、法學、物理學和數學。而另一位建築大師萊恩則設計瞭圖書館的整體構架，如今我們看到的古樸而又獨具匠心的書架、書桌和書托全都齣自於他的構思，圖書館也因他而得名。
