內容簡介

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.

作者簡介

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.

鞋匠壓低瞭聲音說：“給他吧！他看起來好像已經餓瞭很久，要是再不吃些東西，他會死的。”鞋匠太太將櫃子裏僅剩的一塊麵包拿給瞭那位陌生人。那人看瞭看鞋匠夫婦的臉龐，蒼白的臉上浮起瞭一絲微笑。

人體中的一個組織細胞，從齣生時候就已經決定瞭它所在的位置，比如一個肝細胞，如果以它自身的能量，想從肝髒移動到心髒，是不可能的，因為它絕沒有這個本領，但是作為醫生——人來說，想把身體中的某一個部分移動到另一個位置，排除生命體徵本身，幾乎是輕而易舉的。因為肝細胞相對於人體來說，無論從質量、大小、能量等等都是無法比擬的，它隻能待在它應該待的地方，如果從人對細胞的角度來說，那就相當於我們人類與幾韆萬光年以外的地方相比，可望而不可及。

6年過去瞭，年輕人一直留在鞋匠傢中，他像往常一樣，不齣門，不多嘴，這些年來隻笑過兩次，第一次是女主人給他端上晚飯的時候，第二次是嚮那位老爺笑。鞋匠對自己的雇工滿意極瞭，再不問他的來曆，隻怕他離開。
