Krátky popis
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, a Nobel
Prize-winning physicist and the Feynman Professor of Theoretical
Physics Emeritus 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. Winner of the
Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science.
