为什么值得读
- 用参考系观点简明阐释天体运行与宇宙规律
- 内容通俗适合激发青少年对前沿物理的兴趣
宇宙何时以及如何形成？我们为何存在于此？现实的本质是什么？我们宇宙表象上的宏伟设计，是否证明了一位仁慈的造物主启动了这一切？抑或科学能给出另一种解释？在 The Grand Design 中，关于宇宙奥秘的最新科学思考以兼具精妙与明快的语言呈现在读者面前。The Grand Design 阐述了关于 model-dependent realism（即不存在单一版本的现实）的最新观点，以及包含众多宇宙的 multiverse 现实概念……

关于地球还是太阳是宇宙中心的争论挺蠢的。说白了全看参考系以及预测观测结果时的计算简便程度。参见史蒂芬·霍金和伦纳德·姆沃迪瑙的《大设计》。
The debate as to whether the Earth or sun is the center of the universe was silly. It's all about frames of reference and simplicity of calculations in predicting observations. See "The Grand Design" by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow.

……哪怕一开始我并不是很懂其中的细节。我大部分物理读物都来自早期互联网上的各种零散资源。作为一个十二三岁的孩子，史蒂芬·霍金的《时间简史》和《大设计》绝对是我印象最深刻的读物，尽管那时我对物理的兴趣就已经在萌芽了。
…even if initially I didn't quite understand the details. Most of my physics reading came from random sources on the early internet. As a 12-13 year old, Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time and The Grand Design were by far my most memorable reads, although I already had my developing interest in physics by then.
……更精简的清单：丹尼尔·丹尼特的《打破魔咒》 理查德·道金斯的《上帝错觉》 克里斯托弗·希钦斯的《上帝不伟大》 萨姆·哈里斯的《信仰的终结》 但是史蒂芬·霍金的书《大设计》、劳伦斯·克劳斯的《无中生有的宇宙》，以及尼尔·舒宾的《解密人体：人体35亿年历史之旅》也都很棒，虽然稍微硬核一点。所有……
…shorter list: "Breaking the spell" by Daniel Dennett "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkings "God is not great" by Christopher Hitchens "End of Faith" by Sam Harris But books by Steven Hawking "The Grand Design", "Universe from Nothing" by Lawrence Krauss and "Your Inner Fish - A Journey into the 3.5 billion year history of the human body" by Neil Shubin, are also great although somewhat more technical. All…
十几岁刚出头那会儿，我求着爸妈给我买了《时间简史》和《大设计》。两本都读了好几遍。大约15年后，我爸妈还留着它们，我爸也读过两遍。它们读起来很棒，在我选择研究方向时起到了很大作用……
As an early teen I begged my parents for both A Brief History of Time and The Grand Design. Read both several times. ~15 years later, my parents are still holding on to them and my Dad has read them a couple of times too. It was great reading and played a significant role in my choice of research…
“史蒂芬·霍金最近在他新书《大设计》中写道——并向一群热切的采访者和记者重申——如今所实践的哲学是在浪费时间，哲学家是在浪费空间，这在学术圈引起了轩然大波。更准确地说，他写道哲学……
"Stephen Hawking recently fluttered the academic dovecotes by writing in his new book The Grand Design – and repeating to an eager company of interviewers and journalists – that philosophy as practised nowadays is a waste of time and philosophers a waste of space. More precisely, he wrote that philosophy…
