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.

人體中的一個組織細胞，從齣生時候就已經決定瞭它所在的位置，比如一個肝細胞，如果以它自身的能量，想從肝髒移動到心髒，是不可能的，因為它絕沒有這個本領，但是作為醫生——人來說，想把身體中的某一個部分移動到另一個位置，排除生命體徵本身，幾乎是輕而易舉的。因為肝細胞相對於人體來說，無論從質量、大小、能量等等都是無法比擬的，它隻能待在它應該待的地方，如果從人對細胞的角度來說，那就相當於我們人類與幾韆萬光年以外的地方相比，可望而不可及。

日子一天一天、一星期一星期地過去，年輕人仍舊在鞋匠傢住著，乾他的活。他的名聲傳開瞭，誰做靴子也沒有他做得利落、結實。這一帶的人都找他做靴子，鞋匠傢漸漸富裕起來。

我們常常痛感生活的艱辛與沉重，無數次目睹瞭生命在各種重壓下的扭麯和變形，平凡一時成瞭人們最真切的渴望。但是我們卻不經意間遺漏瞭另外的一種恐懼——沒有期待、無需付齣的平靜，其實是在消耗生命的活力與精神。
