商品描述

A mesmerizing trip to the strange world of white holes from the bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics and The Order of Time

Let us journey, with beloved physicist Carlo Rovelli, into the heart of a black hole. We slip beyond its horizon and tumble down this crack in the universe. As we plunge, we see geometry fold. Time and space pull and stretch. And finally, at the black hole's core, space and time dissolve, and a white hole is born.

Rovelli has dedicated his career to uniting the time-warping ideas of general relativity and the perplexing uncertainties of quantum mechanics. In White Holes, he reveals the mind of a scientist at work. He traces the ongoing adventure of his own cutting-edge research, investigating whether all black holes could eventually turn into white holes, equally compact objects in which the arrow of time is reversed.

Rovelli writes just as compellingly about the work of a scientist as he does the marvels of the universe. He shares the fear, uncertainty, and frequent disappointment of exploring hypotheses and unknown worlds, and the delight of chasing new ideas to unexpected conclusions. Guiding us beyond the horizon, he invites us to experience the fever and the disquiet of science--and the strange and startling life of a white hole.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

從暢銷書《物理學七堂簡明課》和《時間的秩序》的作者，帶您進入白洞的奇異世界

讓我們與受人喜愛的物理學家卡洛·羅維利（Carlo Rovelli）一起，深入黑洞的核心。我們越過其邊界，跌入這個宇宙的裂縫中。隨著我們的下墜，我們看到幾何學的折疊。時間和空間被拉扯和延展。最後，在黑洞的核心，空間和時間溶解，白洞誕生了。

羅維利將他的職業生涯奉獻於將廣義相對論的時間扭曲思想與量子力學的困惑不確定性結合起來。在《白洞》中，他揭示了一位科學家工作的心智。他追溯了自己前沿研究的持續冒險，探討所有黑洞是否最終都可能轉變為白洞，這些同樣緊湊的物體中時間的箭頭是反向的。

羅維利在描述科學家的工作時，寫得同樣引人入勝，正如他對宇宙奇觀的描繪。他分享了探索假設和未知世界的恐懼、不確定性和經常的失望，以及追逐新想法至意想不到結論的喜悅。引導我們超越地平線，他邀請我們體驗科學的熱情與不安——以及白洞奇異而驚人的生命。
