商品描述
The Nobel Prize-winning physicist and bestselling author of
The First Three Minutes describes the grand quest for a unifying theory of nature--one that can explain forces as different as the cohesion inside the atom and the gravitational tug between the sun and Earth. Wirting with dazzling elegance and clarity, he retraces the steps that have led modern scientists from relativity and quantum mechanics to the notion of super-strings and the idea that our universe may coexist with others.
But Weinberg asks as many questions as he answers, among them: Why does each explanation of the way nature works point to other, deeper explanations? Why are the best theories not only logical but beautiful? And what implications will a final theory have for our philosophy and religious faith?
Intellectually daring, rich in anecdote and aphorism,
Dreams of a Final Theory launches us into a new cosmos and helps us make sense of what we find there.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
諾貝爾獎得主、暢銷書作家《前三分鐘》的作者描述了尋求自然統一理論的宏大探索——一種能解釋原子內部的凝聚力與太陽與地球之間的引力等不同力量的理論。作者以耀眼的優雅和清晰度，回顧了現代科學家從相對論和量子力學走向超弦理論的步伐，以及我們的宇宙可能與其他宇宙共存的概念。
但溫伯格提出的問題與他所回答的問題一樣多，其中包括：為什麼每一種對自然運作方式的解釋都指向其他更深層的解釋？為什麼最好的理論不僅合乎邏輯，還是美麗的？而最終理論對我們的哲學和宗教信仰將有什麼影響？
《最終理論的夢想》在智力上大膽，充滿了軼事和格言，將我們引入一個新的宇宙，並幫助我們理解我們在那裡所發現的事物。
作者簡介
Steven Weinberg received the 1979 Nobel Prize for Physics for his work in unifying two of the fundamental forces of nature, and in 1991 he was awarded the National Medal of Science at the White House. His earlier price-winning book The First Three Minutes is the classic account of the "Big Bang," the modern theory of the origins of the universe. Among his other books are The Theory of Subatomic Particles and Gravitation and Cosmology: Principles and Applications of the General Theory of Relativity. Steven Weingberg is a member of the Royal Society of London as well as the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and has been awarded numerous honorary degrees, most recently from Columbia University and the Universities of Salamanca and Padua.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
史蒂芬·溫伯格（Steven Weinberg）因其在統一自然界兩種基本力量方面的工作而於1979年獲得諾貝爾物理學獎，並於1991年在白宮獲頒國家科學獎章。他早期獲獎的著作《前三分鐘》（The First Three Minutes）是關於「大爆炸」（Big Bang）的經典敘述，這是現代宇宙起源理論的基礎。他的其他著作包括《亞原子粒子理論》（The Theory of Subatomic Particles）和《引力與宇宙學：廣義相對論的原則與應用》（Gravitation and Cosmology: Principles and Applications of the General Theory of Relativity）。史蒂芬·溫伯格是倫敦皇家學會（Royal Society of London）及美國國家科學院（U.S. National Academy of Sciences）的成員，並獲得了多個榮譽學位，最近的學位來自哥倫比亞大學（Columbia University）以及薩拉曼卡大學（Universities of Salamanca）和帕多瓦大學（Universities of Padua）。
