为什么值得读
- 清晰介绍宇宙长期膨胀等前沿物理证据
- 较好地涵盖了全息理论等深刻的物理概念
- 穿插生动幽默，适合反复翻阅并启发科学兴趣
“作为我们这个时代最具影响力的思想家之一，斯蒂芬·霍金（Stephen Hawking）是一位学术偶像，他不仅以其思想的大胆创新而闻名，还以其表述时的清晰明了与机智幽默而著称。在这本新书中，霍金带领我们走代理论物理学的最前沿——在那里，事实往往比虚构更不可思议——用通俗易懂的语言向普通人解释掌控我们宇宙的原理。”“《The Universe in a Nutshell》是所有希望了解我们所处宇宙的人的必读之作。正如其姊妹篇《A Brief History of Time》一样，它传达了人们所感受到的振奋

……驳斥你所有的论点，但通过观测大量不同距离上发生红移的宇宙天体，有充分证据表明宇宙处于长期膨胀之中。Stephen Hawking 的《果壳中的宇宙》（The Universe in a Nutshell）把其中很多概念向感兴趣的读者讲得很透彻。
…out all of your arguments, but there is an abundance of evidence for the long-term expansion of the universe as measured by redshifted cosmological objects at numerous distances. Stephen Hawking's The Universe in a Nutshell does a nice job of introducing many of these concepts for those interested.
……在大自然中，并看到它与我们周围一切的联系。我脑海中浮现出四本书。物理类：1. Richard P. Feynman 的《别闹了，费曼先生！》（Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! (Adventures of a Curious Character)）2. Steven Hawking 的《果壳中的宇宙》（The Universe in a Nutshell）数学类：1. J.A. Paulos 的《数学盲》（Innumeracy: Mathematical Illiteracy and Its Consequences）2. D. Hofstadter 的《哥德尔、艾舍尔、巴赫：集异璧之大成》（Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid）。这些书精彩地阐明了……
…in nature and see the connection with everything around us. Four books come to mind. Physics: 1. Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! (Adventures of a Curious Character) by Richard P. Feynman 2. The Universe in a Nutshell by Steven Hawking Mathematics: 1. Innumeracy: Mathematical Illiteracy and Its Consequences by J.A. Paulos 2. Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by D. Hofstadter These books brilliantly illuminate…
……这是不对的。我上次读《果壳中的宇宙》（UiaN）已经是很多年前了。另外还有些有趣的性质，比如全息图的任何一部分都包含整幅图像的信息，只是画质更糙，等等。2）我觉得《果壳中的宇宙》（Universe in a Nutshell）把这套理论的大部分内容都讲得挺到位。
…it's wrong. I last read UiaN years ago. There are also some other interesting properties, like that the any part of hologram contains whole picture of hologram but of lousier quality, etc. 2) I think Universe in a Nutshell covers most of this theory pretty well.
……为什么我选择投身科学界，特别是走上物理这条路。我只是千千万万人中的一个，但他实打实、以独一无二的方式让我的生活变得更好了。在成长过程中，我把《时间简史》（Brief History of Time）和《果壳中的宇宙》（Universe In A Nutshell）各自翻看了几十遍。我细细品味自己看懂的那些笑话，永远不会忘记他。我也为他落泪，因为我知道他梦寐以求的诺贝尔奖终究没能拿到。我其实很少为那些逝去的人掉眼泪，在他们的……
…why I chose a life in science in general and physics in particular. I'm just one of many, but he unmistakably and uniquely affected my life for the better. Growing up, I read Brief History of Time and Universe In A Nutshell dozens of times each. I relished the jokes I got, and I won't forget him. I also weep for him, knowing he never got the Nobel prize he wanted so very much. I haven't shed a tear for many people in their…
《时间简史》（A Brief History of Time）和《果壳中的宇宙》（Universe in a nutshell）一直摆在手边。随便翻开哪一页读我都百读不厌。我的办公桌上没有任何跟编程有关的书；这还得感谢 Google。
"A Brief History of Time" and "Universe in a nutshell" are always there. I never get tired of reading a random page from those books. I have nothing programming related on my desk; we have Google to thanks for that.
……我脑子里几乎在想的所有东西：各种 Forrest Mims 的笔记、《Python 教程》、《Practical C Programming》、《喧哗与骚动》（Sound and the Fury）的第一章、《裸体午餐》（Naked Lunch）的片段、《尤利西斯》（Ulysses）的大段内容、《果壳中的宇宙》（The Universe in a Nutshell）、French 的《狭义相对论》（Special Relativity）、《The Gamma Function》、一本我不记得名字的图论书、小 Rudin（baby Rudin）、《Brain Structure and Its Origins》、《The Form Within》
…almost everything i think about: misc. Forrest Mims notebooks, the Python Tutorial, Practical C Programming first chapter of Sound and the Fury, snippets of Naked Lunch, wide swaths of Ulysses The Universe in a Nutshell, French's Special Relativity The Gamma Function, a graph theory text whose name i don't remember, baby Rudin Brain Structure and Its Origins, The Form Within
