哈姆雷特或許是指人類雖然在肉體上有重重限制，心靈卻能自由自在地探索整個宇宙，而且能夠勇敢航向連星艦「企業號」都不敢去的地方。 當代最具影響力的科學家之一，史蒂芬．霍金，這個名字聽起來，有時或許覺得很遠，因為他走在理念探索的最前端，非我們一般人能窺其堂奧；但其實很近，因為他詮釋這些理念的語言是清晰、親切的，充滿有趣的機智。其實，他還很炫，每次寫作，就像每次對大眾演講，總是滿天飛躍、奔騰的迷人聲色特效。這本新書的展現形式，正是一個例證。 較諸《時間簡史》，這本新書更為淺顯，而且風格不同。只要依序讀過前兩章，以後各章便可隨意選讀；每章內部的結構也不是直線式的。在這本新書，霍金將一一為我們展示當今理論物理學最活躍、生動的幾個研究領域，以我們一般人能懂的語言介紹宇宙學最先進的進展，說明左右這個宇宙的原理。透過他的敘述、BOX中的補充材料，和...(展开全部)
