Which of these bizarre phenomena, if any, can really exist in our universe? Black holes, down which anything can fall but from which nothing can return; wormholes, short spacewarps connecting regions of the cosmos; singularities, where space and time are so violently warped that time ceases to exist and space becomes a kind of foam; gravitational waves, which carry symphonic accounts of collisions of black holes billions of years ago; and time machines, for traveling backward and forward in time. Kip Thorne, along with fellow theorists Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose, a cadre of Russians, and earlier scientists such as Oppenheimer, Wheeler and Chandrasekhar, has been in the thick of the quest to secure answers. In this masterfully written and brilliantly informed work of scientific history and explanation, Dr. Thorne, the Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech, leads his readers through an elegant, always human, tapestry of interlocking themes, coming finally to a uniquely informed answer to the great question: what principles control our universe and why do physicists think they know the things they think they know? Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time has been one of the greatest best-sellers in publishing history. Anyone who struggled with that book will find here a more slowly paced but equally mind-stretching experience, with the added fascination of a rich historical and human component.

这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
虽然已经出版接近三十年了,基普索恩在1994年所著的《黑洞与时间弯曲》仍然可以被视作科普作品的典范。这本书用非常生动而且便于理解的语言阐述了广义相对论,白矮星,中子星,黑洞的基本知识。但是它同时又没有失去它的科学性。其中对于很多关键的科学概念,本书还使用了非常... (展开)

Thorne和Guth是写科普写的最好的一流物理学家,霍金不是。他们两位有三个共同的优点:一是能把很复杂的物理概念用很清晰的物理图景描述出来;第二,这不但是一本好的科普书,还是一本很好的科学史书,把从广义相对论诞生到二十世纪九十年代与黑洞研究相关的历史、人物写得精彩纷呈,好多掌故我都是第一次听说;第三,整本书的语气自信而不傲慢,有趣而亲切。
