内容简介

Roger Penrose, one of the most accomplished scientists of our time, presents the only comprehensive and comprehensible account of the physics of the universe. From the very first attempts by the Greeks to grapple with the complexities of our known world to the latest application of infinity in physics, The Road to Reality carefully explores the movement of the smallest atomic particles and reaches into the vastness of intergalactic space. Here, Penrose examines the mathematical foundations of the physical universe, exposing the underlying beauty of physics and giving us one the most important works in modern science writing.

作者简介

Roger Penrose is Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University. He has received a number of prizes and awards, including the 1988 Wolf Prize for physics, which he shared with Stephen Hawking for their joint contribution to our understanding of the universe. His books include The Emperor's New Mind, Shadows of the Mind, and The Nature of Space and Time, which he wrote with Hawking. He has lectured extensively at universities throughout America. He lives in Oxford.

我们再从宏观上来看，太阳系是由发光发热的巨大的核反应堆和围绕太阳旋转的几大行星组成，太阳系中的行星，都是围着太阳旋转的，不难发现，这种结构与原子的结构何其相似！银河系的结构正像是我们了解的其它物质一样，如果我们以更大的视点来看它，说它是某个巨型物质的一个分子或是一个组织细胞不是也很确切吗？

三一学院的莱恩图书馆不仅藏有古埃及的木乃伊和中世纪的圣保罗信徒的书信手稿等一批珍贵的文物，还有苏格拉底等几十尊西方伟大思想家的雕像。《失乐园》的作者弥尔顿亦是三一学院的学生，所以他的手稿自然成了图书馆的新宠。
