《大设计》：宇宙何时并如何起始？我们为何在此？为何是有非无？何为实在本性？为何自然定律被这么精细地调谐至让我们这样的生命存在？以及最后，我们宇宙的表观“大设计”能否证实使事物运行的仁慈的造物主？科学能否提供另一种解释？有关宇宙起源以及生命本身的最基本的问题，曾经为哲学的范围，现在占据着科学家、哲学家和神学家相遇但却自说自话的领地。在霍金和蒙洛迪诺的新书中，他们以精彩简朴的非专业语言表述有关宇宙奥秘的最新的科学思考。他们在《大设计》中解释，根据量子论，宇宙不仅具有单独的存在或历史，而且同时存在每种可能的历史。把这种思想应用于宇宙整体，就对因果概念本身提出疑问。然而，霍金和蒙洛迪诺描述的“从顶到底”的宇宙学方法会说，过去没有采取确定的形式这一事实意味着，我们因观察历史而创造历史，而非历史创造我们。作者进一步解释，我们自身是宇宙极早期的量子涨落的产物，并且...(展开全部)

In this book, the distinguished writer Edward Luttwak presents the grand strategy of the eastern Roman empire we know as Byzantine, which lasted more than twice as long as the more familiar western Roman empire, eight hundred years by the shortest definition. This extraordinary endurance is all the more remarkable because the Byzantine empire was favored neither by geography no...(展开全部)
