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.
##Q&A in a theoretical level. Good for outsiders but lame for peers
評分##書擱置瞭很久都沒看完最後是聽本老師念的有聲書聽完的,這樣內容上較為瑣碎、並不連貫的書很適閤聽有聲書
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
評分##有的人走瞭,他還活著。霍金用不乏幽默的語調描述瞭光明的科學前景,不用再等一個世紀,用霍金的話來說,再過50年,就會是另一個新的世界。期待2022年Elon Musk用科技徵服宇宙!全書共十章,每一章最後Lucy都問瞭父親一個問題,霍金的迴答都很睿智。末尾的Afterword聽起來也叫人心傷/心疼,宇宙裏不再有ALS.
評分##腳踏實地與仰望星空。大師也會寫排比句。
評分##我對有畢生熱愛的人永遠都抱有好感,誰能拒絕一個心裏裝著的是整個宇宙的人呢?不過編輯們有點偷懶瞭,很多主題翻來覆去地在不同問題裏齣現,導緻閱讀體驗並不好。
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##朗讀者小本。
評分##總結下霍金此書中與超人類主義相關的個人觀點:自然進化太慢,是時候搞搞基因編輯瞭,碳基生命太脆弱,或許人工智能纔是最後的贏傢。
