Sixty-two years after human life on Earth was annihilated by rampaging alien invaders, the enigmatic Messenger O is sent back in time with a mission to unite humanity of past eras - during the Second World War and ancient Japan, and even back to the dawn of the species itself - to defeat the invasion before it begins. However, in a future shredded by war and genocide, love wait...(展开全部)

安德烈亚斯·埃什巴赫 Andreas Eschbach 作为德语科幻领军人，安德烈亚斯·埃什巴赫12岁开始写作，4部小说斩获德意志科幻奖，9部小说斩获库特-拉思维兹奖。这是德语科幻的至高荣誉，相当于中国的“银河奖”和“华语星云奖”。盛名之下，他的作品从时间到空间都展现出气吞山河的胸襟，把现今的前沿科技拓展到人类想象力的极致。 安德烈亚斯·埃什巴赫曾是航空航天工程师、软件工程师。这样的经历促成了代表作《万物之主》，让他能以硬科幻特有的严谨，推导出费米悖论的另一种解释。在他的文字里，沧海桑田、万家灯火，都不过是另一片黑暗森林中空寂的回声。

A brilliantly clear and penetrating exposition of developments in physical science and mathematics brought about by the advent of non-Euclidean geometries, including in-depth coverage of the foundations of geometry, the theory of time, Einstein’s theory of relativity and its consequences, other key topics.

Einstein said that the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible. But was he right? Can the quantum theory of fields and Einstein's general theory of relativity, the two most accurate and successful theories in all of physics, be united in a single quantum theory of gravity? Can quantum and cosmos ever be combined? On this issue, two of the wor...(展开全部)

Slave. Gladiator. Shaman. Warchief. The enigmatic Orc known as Thrall has been all of these. Raised from infancy by cruel human masters who sought to mould him into their perfect pawn, Thrall was driven by both the savagery in his heart and the cunning of his upbringing to pursue a destiny he was only beginning to understand - to break his bondage and rediscover the ancient tra...(展开全部)

Einstein's General Theory of Relativity leads to two remarkable predictions: first, that the ultimate destiny of many massive stars is to undergo gravitational collapse and to disappear from view, leaving behind a 'black hole' in space; and secondly, that there will exist singularities in space-time itself. These singularities are places where space-time begins or ends, and the...(展开全部)
