书籍简介

这本由世界上知名的天体物理学家撰写的图文并茂的启蒙读物与屡获殊荣的 StarTalk 播客特别迷你季相衔接，以专业和幽默的方式解释了从太阳系到遥远太空的宇宙。

没有人比尼尔-德格拉塞-泰森更能让人理解宇宙的奥秘，也没有人比他更有趣。泰森和 StarTalk 高级制片人林赛-尼克斯-沃克（Lindsey Nyx Walker）从神话、历史和文学中汲取营养，用他标志性的机智和魅力将行星科学带入地球，让天体物理学的原理触手可及。在这本配有生动照片和艺术插图的寓教于乐的书中，读者将与他一起穿越时空，从宇宙大爆炸开始，前往遥远的宇宙及其他地方。一路上，科学与流行文化相映成趣，泰森解释了好莱坞大片的成功与失败：所有这些都是穿越宇宙的有趣旅程的一部分。

本书从我们离开地球开始，讲述了关于我们星球的大气层、太阳光的性质以及许多揭开银河系邻居神秘面纱的任务的新真相。但是，我们走得越远，事情就变得越诡异。什么是虚空，什么是真空？光怎么可能同时是波和粒子？当我们到达黑漆漆的外太空时，泰森将揭开宇宙中诡异的现象：平行世界、黑洞、时间旅行等等。

对于科学迷和天体物理学家经常思考的难题的粉丝来说，《超越无限》是一次通往宇宙遥远的地方的启迪性探险。

Linked to a special mini season of the award-winning StarTalk podcast, this enlightening illustrated narrative by the world’s most celebrated astrophysicist explains the universe from the solar system to the farthest reaches of space with authority and humor.

No one can make the mysteries of the universe more comprehensible and fun than Neil deGrasse Tyson. Drawing on mythology, history, and literature—alongside his trademark wit and charm—Tyson and StarTalk senior producer Lindsey Nyx Walker bring planetary science down to Earth and principles of astrophysics within reach. In this entertaining book, illustrated with vivid photographs and art, readers travel with him through space and time, starting with the Big Bang and voyaging to the far reaches of the universe and beyond. Along the way, science greets pop culture as Tyson explains the triumphs—and bloopers—in Hollywood’s blockbusters: all part of an entertaining ride through the cosmos.

The book begins as we leave Earth, encountering new truths about our planet’s atmosphere, the nature of sunlight, and the many missions that have demystified our galactic neighbors. But the farther out we travel, the weirder things get. What’s a void and what’s a vacuum? How can light be a wave and a particle at the same time? When we finally arrive in the blackness of outer space, Tyson takes on the spookiest phenomena of the cosmos: parallel worlds, black holes, time travel, and more.

For science junkies and fans of the conundrums that astrophysicists often ponder, To Infinity and Beyond is an enlightening adventure into the farthest reaches of the cosmos.
