内容摘要
书名：The Grand Design 大设计 作者：Stephen Hawking；Leonard Mlodinow 出版社名称：Bantam 出版时间：2012 语种：英文 ISBN：9780553384666 商品尺寸：15.5 x 1.5 x 22.9 cm 包装：平装 页数：208 （以实物为准） The Grand Design《大设计》是斯蒂芬·霍金在《时间简史》之后重要的著作，它凝结了霍金20多年来对科学和哲学的思考成果，它是在蒙洛迪诺的技术协助下完稿付梓的。 著名科学家斯蒂芬·霍金The Grand Design《大设计》里说，宇宙不是上帝创造的。霍金教授认为支持宇宙大爆炸理论的物理学定律向传统宗教信仰发起了挑战。霍金在这本新书里说：“由于存在万有引力等定律，因此宇宙能够，而且将是从无到有自己创造了自己。自然发生说（spontaneous generation）是有物而非无物存在的原因，它是宇宙和人类存在的原因。没必要借助上帝引燃蓝色导火线，让宇宙诞生。”联合作者是美国物理学家列纳德·蒙洛迪罗。该书旨在反驳艾萨克·牛顿爵士的信仰：宇宙应该是由上帝创造的，它不会诞生于混沌世界。 推荐理由： 1. 世界伟大的思想家之一近10年间的首部巨著，一部对生命的诘问答案的卓越简明篇章； 2.《大设计》被媒体誉为霍金近十年来出版的作品，比其他普通作品更能激起读者对科学的热爱、对科学的探究； 3.《大设计》是一本行文简洁、观点惊人、图文并茂的宇宙探索指南，将改变我们对于宇宙的理解，并威胁到我们视若珍宝的信仰体系。这将是史无前例的的惊世巨作。 Review “In this short and sprightly book... Hawking and Mlodinow take the reader through a whirlwind tour of fundamental physics and cosmology.” —The Wall Street Journal “Fascinating... a wealth of ideas [that] leave us with a clearer understanding of modern physics in all its invigorating complexity.” —Los Angeles Times “The authors bring to the field an anecdotal clarity that is something of a first for this genre.... Making science like this interesting is not all that hard; making it accessible is the real trick.” — Time “Provocative pop science, an exploration of the latest thinking about the origins of our universe.” — The New York Times “Introduces the reader to topics at the frontier of theoretical physics... more clearly for general readers than I have seen before.” — Steven Weinberg,The New York Review of Books “Groundbreaking.” — The Washington Post “A provocative, mind-expanding book.” — The Plain Dealer 宇宙何时并如何起始？我们为何在此？为何似有非无？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，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基本问题，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书中，他们以精彩简朴的非专业语言表述有关宇宙奥秘新的科学思考。 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，并且展现量子论如何预言“多宇宙”——该思想是说，我们的宇宙只不过是自发地从无中出现的许多宇宙中的一个，每个宇宙具有不同的自然定律。 霍金和蒙洛迪诺在这过程中诘问实在的传统概念，提出“依赖模型”的实在论，这是我们能够希望找到的答案。他们以对M理论的精彩评价来结束全书，M理论解释了制约我们和我们宇宙的定律，它还是完备的“万物理论”的目前可行的仅有候选者。他们写道，如果被证实的话，它将是爱因斯坦寻求的统一理论，也是人类理性的终极胜利。 这是一部简洁的惊人的附有大量插图的指南，导向正在改变我们的宇宙观并危及我们神圣的信仰系统的一些发现。没有任何一本书像《大设计》这样信息丰富，这样刺激。 When and how did the universe begin? Why are we here? Why is there something rather than nothing? What is the nature of reality? Why are the laws of nature so finely tuned as to allow for the existence of beings like ourselves? And, finally, is the apparent “grand design” of our universe evidence of a benevolent creator who set things in motion—or does science offer another explanation? The most fundamental questions about the origins of the universe and of life itself, once the province of philosophy, now occupy the territory where scientists, philosophers, and theologians meet—if only to disagree. In their new book, Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow present the most recent scientific thinking about the mysteries of the universe, in nontechnical language marked by both brilliance and simplicity. InThe Grand Design they explain that according to quantum theory, the cosmos does not have just a single existence or history, but rather that every possible history of the universe exists simultaneously. When applied to the universe as a whole, this idea calls into question the very notion of cause and effect. But the “top-down” approach to cosmology that Hawking and Mlodinow describe would say that the fact that the past takes no definite form means that we create history by observing it, rather than that history creates us. The authors further explain that we ourselves are the product of quantum fluctuations in the very early universe, and show how quantum theory predicts the “multiverse”—the idea that ours is just one of many universes that appeared spontaneously out of nothing, each with different laws of nature. Along the way Hawking and Mlodinow question the conventional concept of reality, posing a “model-dependent” theory of reality as the best we can hope to find. And they conclude with a riveting assessment of M-theory, an explanation of the laws governing us and our universe that is currently the only viable candidate for a complete “theory of everything.” If confirmed, they write, it will be the unified theory that Einstein was looking for, and the ultimate triumph of human reason. 史蒂芬·霍金（Stephen Hawking，1942年1月8日—2018年3月14日），ALS患者，英国物理学家和宇宙学家。肌肉萎缩性侧索硬化症患者，全身瘫痪，不能发音。霍金的主要研究领域是宇宙论和黑洞，证明了广义相对论的奇性定理和黑洞面积定理，提出了黑洞蒸发现象和无边界的霍金宇宙模型，在统一20世纪物理学的两大基础理论——爱因斯坦创立的相对论和普朗克创立的量子力学方面走出了重要一步。 霍金是继牛顿和爱因斯坦之后杰出的物理学家之一，被世人誉为“宇宙之王”。2017年4月，霍金接访采访表示，他比以前更加坚定地认为人类应该在2117年之前离开地球。 2018年3月14日，史蒂芬·霍金去世，享年76岁。 Stephen Hawking was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge for thirty years, and has been the recipient of numerous awards and honors including, most recently, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

But humans are a curious species. We wonder, we seek answers. Living in this vast world that is by turns kind and cruel, and gazing at the immense heavens above, people have always asked a multitude of questions: How can we understand the world in which we find ourselves? How does the universe behave? What is the nature of reality? Where did all this come from? Did the universe need a creator? Most of us do not spend most of our time worrying about these questions, but almost all of us worry about them some of the time. Traditionally these are questions for philosophy, but philosophy is dead. Philosophy has not kept up with modern developments in science, particularly physics. Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge. The purpose of this book is to give the answers that are suggested by recent discoveries and theoretical advances. They lead us to a new picture of the universe and our place in it that is very different from the traditional one, and different even from the picture we might have painted just a decade or two ago. Still, the first sketches of the new concept can be traced back almost a century. According to the traditional conception of the universe, objects move on well-defined paths and have definite histories. We can specify their precise position at each moment in time. Although that account is successful enough for everyday purposes, it was found in the 1920s that this “classical” picture could not account for the seemingly bizarre behavior observed on the atomic and subatomic scales of existence. Instead it was necessary to adopt a different framework, called quantum physics. Quantum theories have turned out to be remarkably accurate at predicting events on those scales, while also reproducing the predictions of the old classical theories when applied to the macroscopic world of daily life. But quantum and classical physics are based on very different conceptions of physical reality. Quantum theories can be formulated in many different ways, but what is probably the most intuitive description was given by Richard (Dick) Feynman, a colorful character who worked at the California Institute of Technology and played the bongo drums at a strip joint down the road. According to Feynman, a system has not just one history but every possible history. As we seek our answers, we will explain Feynman's approach in detail, and employ it to explore the idea that the universe itself has no single history, nor even an independent existence. That seems like a radical idea, even to many physicists. Indeed, like many notions in today's science, it appears to violate common sense. But common sense is based upon everyday experience, not upon the universe as it is revealed through the marvels of technologies such as those that allow us to gaze deep into the atom or back to the early universe. Until the advent of modern physics it was generally thought that all knowledge of the world could be obtained through direct observation, that things are what they seem, as perceived through our senses. But the spectacular success of modern physics, which is based upon concepts such as Feynman's that clash with everyday experience, has shown that that is not the case. The naive view of reality therefore is not compatible with modern physics. To deal with such paradoxes we shall adopt an approach that we call model-dependent realism. It is based on the idea that our brains interpret the input from our sensory organs by making a model of the world. When such a model is successful at explaining events, we tend
