1, a brief history of time
Stephen Hawking's bestseller A Brief History of Time has become a milestone in scientific writing. This is not only because of the author's charming expression, but also because of the awesome themes he discussed: the essence of time and space, the role of God in creation, the history and future of the universe.
2. The universe in the shell
Relativity and quantum theory are the greatest scientific achievements of the 20th century. Especially the former, he is a great construction of human wisdom. Therefore, the first chapter of Universe in Shell, A Brief History of Relativity, is mainly about Einstein's life. Quantum theory is a passive product of experimental observation, and its significance is still unclear. In general relativity, space-time is no longer a passive background, but an active participant in the evolution of the universe.
3. String of the Universe
Green is one of the leading string theorists in the world today. He skillfully combined scientific thinking with writing. This book unveiled the mystery of string theory and revealed a 1 1 dimensional universe. There, the fibers in space are torn and stitched together by themselves, from the smallest quark to the largest supernova, everything is produced in the vibration of the microscopic small energy ring.
4. Mathematics: Loss of certainty
Most knowledgeable people still think that mathematics is an unshakable knowledge system about the material world, and mathematical reasoning is accurate. This book refutes this myth. It emphasizes the illogical development mode of mathematics, the problem of applying mathematics against "pure" mathematics, and the challenges encountered by the coherence of mathematical logic structure in the 20 th century.
Step 5 change
Change, one of the popular science trilogy by independent scholar Dunzhe Ling, is the most popular popular popular science work, with novel conception and different inspiration and imagination for scholars. Finding the ultimate theory of nature is a great rational adventure. Although we don't know what the ultimate theory will look like, we don't know how many teenagers it will take to find it; But we believe that we have vaguely seen it.
