This supplementary, one-volume companion to The Wes Anderson Collection (Abrams ...(展开全部)

《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)
