书籍简介

斯蒂芬·霍金的《时间简史》是一种出版现象。翻译成三十种语言后，它在全球的销量已超过900万册。每年，它继续吸引并激发新读者。当它于1988年首次出版时，其中讨论的思想处于当时关于宇宙的最前沿。在随后的几年中，我们对空间和时间的理解有了非凡的进步。观测微观和宏观世界的技术得到了突飞猛进的发展。在同一时期，宇宙学和理论科学进入了一个新的黄金时代。史蒂芬·霍金教授一直是这一新的科学复兴的核心。

现在，在《果壳中的宇宙》中，精美的插图和为此项目委托的原始艺术品，斯蒂芬·霍金使我们全面了解了科学思维的最新进展。现在，我们比以往任何时候都更加全面地了解宇宙。在一场引人入胜且引人入胜的讨论中，从量子力学到时间旅行，从黑洞到不确定性理论，再到寻找科学的圣杯-统一场论（或用外行人的话说，“绝对是一切的理论”）霍金教授曾经更多的东西将我们带到了现代思维的最前沿。

Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time was a publishing phenomenon. Translated into thirty languages, it has sold over nine million copies worldwide. It continues to captivate and inspire new readers every year. When it was first published in 1988 the ideas discussed in it were at the cutting edge of what was then known about the universe. In the intervening years there have been extraordinary advances in our understanding of the space and time. The technology for observing the micro- and macro-cosmic world has developed in leaps and bounds. During the same period cosmology and the theoretical sciences have entered a new golden age. Professor Stephen Hawking has been at the heart of this new scientific renaissance.

Now, in The Universe in a Nutshell, beautifully illustrated with original artwork commissioned for this project, Stephen Hawking brings us fully up-to-date with the advances in scientific thinking. We are now nearer than we have ever been to a full understanding of the universe. In a fascinating and accessible discussion that ranges from quantum mechanics, to time travel, black holes to uncertainty theory, to the search for science's Holy Grail - the unified field theory (or in layman's terms the 'theory of absolutely everything') Professor Hawking once more takes us to the cutting edge of modern thinking.

作者简介

1963年，史蒂芬·霍金患上了运动神经元病，并被预言只剩下两年的生命。 然而，他去了剑桥，成为了冈维尔和凯斯学院的杰出研究员和教授。 三十年来，他在剑桥担任卢卡斯数学和理论物理学教授，1663年由艾萨克·牛顿在此学院担任主席。霍金教授拥有十几个荣誉学位，并于1982年被授予CBE学位。 该学会和美国国家科学院院士。

In 1963, Stephen Hawking contracted motor neurone disease and was given two years to live. Yet he went on to Cambridge to become a brilliant researcher and Professorial Fellow at Gonville and Caius College. For thirty years he held the post of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge, the chair held by Isaac Newton in 1663. Professor Hawking has over a dozen honorary degrees, was awarded the CBE in 1982. He is a fellow of the Royal Society and a Member of the US National Academy of Science.
