The world-famous cosmologist and #1 bestselling author of A Brief History of Time leaves us with his final thoughts on the biggest questions facing humankind.
Stephen Hawking was the most renowned scientist since Einstein, known both for his groundbreaking work in physics and cosmology and for his mischievous sense of humor. He educated millions of readers about the origins of the universe and the nature of black holes, and inspired millions more by defying a terrifying early prognosis of ALS, which originally gave him only two years to live. In later life he could communicate only by using a few facial muscles, but he continued to advance his field and serve as a revered voice on social and humanitarian issues.
Hawking not only unraveled some of the universe’s greatest mysteries but also believed science plays a critical role in fixing problems here on Earth. Now, as we face immense challenges on our planet—including climate change, the threat of nuclear war, and the development of artificial intelligence—he turns his attention to the most urgent issues facing us.
Will humanity survive? Should we colonize space? Does God exist? These are just a few of the questions Hawking addresses in this wide-ranging, passionately argued final book from one of the greatest minds in history.
Featuring a foreword by Eddie Redmayne, who won an Oscar playing Stephen Hawking, an introduction by Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne, and an afterword from Hawking’s daughter, Lucy, Brief Answers to the Big Questions is a brilliant last message to the world.
##有聲書是小本念的,真好聽。
評分##就書本身來說,不錯。要把專業領域內的事情講清楚又要避免太多“令外行走神的”細節確實不是一件容易的事。書寫得不錯,趣味好讀,直白,有關懷。就我本身的進程來說,僅是想要紀念一下在這段時間裏看到的本專業之光(cut down focus range),人生主旨之光,以及,逐漸通過行動,建立對自己行事的信任。解開瞭青少年來的本質死結。好像也是一個自然而然的過程。不是說不愉快;)
評分##As if I'm reading the Torvalds' book all over again - another kind of geniuses; different paths from known to unknown; glossing over the hardships; and the same kind of dry humor.
評分##R4 read by Anton Lesser & Lucy Hawking
評分##霍老師可能不是最完美的科學傢 但是確實很有智慧和寫作天賦。
評分##補標,對於對這些問題有基本認識的讀者來說還是嫌太簡略
