The Illustrated A Brief History of Time
《时间简史插图版》
“宇宙之王”史蒂芬·霍金科学巨作
探索时间和空间核心秘密的故事
这是由英国伟大的物理学家、黑洞理论和“大爆炸”理论的创立人史蒂芬·霍金撰写的一本有关宇宙学的经典著作,是一部将高深的理论物理通俗化的科普范本。
《时间简史》讲述是探索时间和空间核心秘密的故事,是关于宇宙本性的前沿知识,包括我们的宇宙图像、空间和时间、膨胀的宇宙不确定性原理、基本粒子和自然的力、黑洞不是这么黑、时间箭头等内容。自1988年首版以来,该书销售了超2500万册,被翻译成40多种文字,成为国际出版史上的奇观。
本书在原版的基础上增加了240多幅彩色插图,包括卫星图像和照片。这些都归功于诸如哈勃空间望远镜和电脑三维和四维实体成像等技术进步。详细的插图说明使读者更能体验到星系际太空的广漠、黑洞的奇妙性质,以及物质和反物质碰撞的粒子物理的微观世界。
史蒂芬·威廉·霍金(Stephen William Hawking),ALS患者,英国知名物理学家和宇宙学家。肌肉萎缩性侧索硬化症患者,全身瘫痪,不能发音。霍金的主要研究领域是宇宙论和黑洞,证明了广义相对论的奇性定理和黑洞面积定理,提出了黑洞蒸发现象和无边界的霍金宇宙模型,在统一20世纪物理学的两大基础理论——爱因斯坦创立的相对论和普朗克创立的量子力学方面走出了重要一步。
霍金是继牛顿和爱因斯坦之后杰出的物理学家之一,被世人誉为“宇宙之王”。
史蒂芬·霍金生于1942年,他的生日恰好与伽利略去世的纪念日是同一天。他现任剑桥大学卢卡斯数学系教授教席(这一职位曾由艾萨克·牛顿担任)。他被誉为继爱因斯坦后十分杰出的理论物理学家。
该书内容是关于宇宙本性的前沿知识,但是从那以后无论在微观还是宏观宇宙世界的观测技术方面都有了非凡的进展。这些观测证实了霍金教授在该书首版中的许多理论预言,其中包括宇宙背景探险者卫星(COBE)的发现,它在时间上回溯探测到离宇宙创生的30万年之内,并显露了他所计算的在时空结构中的涟漪。
In the years since its publication in 1988, Stephen Hawking's A Brief History Of Time has established itself as a landmark volume in scientific writing. It has become an international publishing phenomenon, translated into forty languages and selling over nine million copies.
The book was on the cutting edge of what was then known about the nature of the universe, but since that time there have been extraordinary advances in the technology of macrocosmic worlds.
These observations have confirmed many of Professor Hawkin's theoretical predictions in the first edition of his book, including the recent discoveries of the Cosmic Background Explorer satellite (COBE), which probed back in time to within 300,000 years of the fabric of space-time that he had projected.
Eager to bring to his original text the new knowledge revealed by these many observations, as well as his recent research, for this expanded edition Professor Hawking has prepared a new introduction to the book, written an entirely new chapter on the fascinating subject of wormholes and time travel, and updated the original chapters.
In addition, to heighten understanding of complex concepts that readers may have found difficult to grasp despite the clarity and wit of Professor Hawking's writing, this edition is enhanced throughout with more than 240 full-color illustrations, including satellite images, photographs made made possible by spectacular technological advance such as the Hubble Space Telescope, and computer generated images of three and four-dimensional realities. Detailed captions clarify these illustrations, enable readers to experience the vastness of intergalactic space, the nature of black holes, and the microcosmic world of particle physics in which matters and antimatter collide.
A classic work that now brings to the reader the latest understanding of cosmology, A Brief History Of Time is the story of the ongoing search for t he tantalizing secrets at the heart of time and space.
