……概念很难理解，但很多人就是无法接受：当一个事件尚未穿过我们的光锥时，它其实就“还没发生”。如果你真感兴趣，那我推荐史蒂芬·霍金的书《时间简史》（A Brief History of Time）。
…concept to grasp, but many people resist considering an event to have not yet happened when it has not yet crossed our lightcone. If you are really interested, then I suggest Stephen Hawking's book A Brief History of Time.
……霍金的书出版时，周围能找得到的同类书就只有它一本。记住，那会儿可不是能在亚马逊上下单、一个月内就能买到世上任何一本书的年代。当时根本就没有亚马逊。我买了《时间简史》并读完了它，虽然这么说显得俗套，但它确实改变了我的人生轨迹。它不是唯一影响我的书，但绝对是关键转折点。乔治·伽莫夫那本小书当时也能买到，还有一些……
…Hawking's book got published, it was the only thing available like that anywhere around. Remember, this is before you could get any book in existence within one month via Amazon. There was no Amazon. I got A Brief History of Time and read it, and it's almost cliche to say so, but it changed the course of my life. It's not the only book that affected me, but it was pivotal. George Gamow's little book also was available, and some…
……能有一套包罗万象的简单理论就好了。我们目前拥有的任何理论都无法放之四海而皆准。肖恩·卡罗尔的《大图景》（The Big Picture）对我很有启发，史蒂芬·霍金早年写的《时间简史》（A Brief History Of Time）也是。
…would be nice is a simple theory that covers it all. Nothing we currently have is able to stretch to be useful in all situations. Sean Carroll's _The Big Picture_ was useful for me, as was the older _A Brief History Of Time_ by Stephen Hawking
……回应几个要点：- 我对爱丁顿的“时间之箭”很熟悉，自从第一次听史蒂芬·霍金的讲座并读了他的《时间简史》之后，我就被这个概念深深吸引了。（那场讲座实际上就是书里的一章。）- 从那以后，“是否所有钟表本质上都是熵增的”这个问题就一直困扰着我。- 这也是最近在探究技术起源时才……
…answering a number of points: - I'm familiar with Eddington's "arrow of time" and the concept's fascinated me since I first encountered it listening to a lecture by Stephen Hawking, and reading his own A Brief History of Time. (The lecture was effectively a chapter from the book.) - The question of whether or not all clocks are entropic has bothered me ever since. - It's relatively recent delvings into origins of technology,…
……从能引发你思考这个世界、思考你自身的角度来说，它与宗教有着间接的联系。佛教 / 宗教 / ...：- 《悉达多》- 赫尔曼·黑塞 - 《牧羊少年奇幻之旅》- 保罗·柯艾略 科学类：- 《时间简史》- 史蒂芬·霍金（空间、时间）- 《盲眼钟表匠》- 理查德·道金斯（进化论）- 《Le cerveau intime》- 马克·让纳罗（仅有法文版） 科幻类：- 《路》- 考麦克·麦卡锡 - 《城市》- …
…indirectly related to religion in the sense that it makes you think about your world, about yourself. Buddhism / Religion / ... : - Siddartha - Hermann Hesse - The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho Science: - A brief history of time - Stephen Hawking (space, time) - The Blind Watchmaker - Richard Dawkins (evolution) - Le cerveau intime - Marc Jeannerod (in french only) Science-fiction: - The Road - Cormack Mc Carthy - City -…
《时间简史》（A Brief History of Time）是史蒂芬·霍金写的书。非常平易近人，读起来毫无门槛。我也很喜欢布赖恩·格林的《宇宙的琴弦》（The Elegant Universe）。那是我读过的第一本作者能把两者都解释清楚的……
A Brief History of Time is the book by Stephen Hawking. It's really approachable and easy to read. I also liked The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene. That was the first book I read where the author was able to explain both the…
