如果你喜欢这篇文章，你大概也会喜欢 Sean Carroll 的《现代物理学之谜：时间》（Mysteries of Modern Physics: Time）（我是听的有声书，不知道它还有没有其他出版形式）。
If you liked this article, you will probably also enjoy "Mysteries of Modern Physics: Time" by Sean Carroll (I listened to it as an audiobook, I don't know what other formats it is available in).

Lets just say that nobody reads popular science/physics books for "real" understanding. I always thought of them more as entertainers, giving a glimpse into the mysteries of modern physics, even if superficial or exaggerated, clearer than what probably the situation at the ground is. Not every one can spend enough time to go through the painstaking path of understanding physics up to the…
容我引用一下《现代物理学之谜：时间》（Mysteries of Modern Physics: Time）里的话：“能量是守恒的，但它可以改变形式。如果能量是以低熵形式存在的，你就可以用它来做有用功。你可以把东西举起来，可以开车，或者开飞机。但如果你把它转化……
Let me quote "Mysteries of Modern Physics: Time": "Energy is conserved, but it can change forms. If you have energy in a low-entropy form, you can do useful work with it. You can lift something up, drive a car, or fly an airplane. If you convert…

这么说吧，根本没人是为了“真正”搞懂才去看科普/大众物理书的。我一直觉得它们更像是娱乐读物，让人能对现代物理学的奥秘管中窥豹，哪怕浮于表面甚至有所夸大，但也比前沿一线的实际情况要通俗易懂得多。并不是所有人都有大把时间去啃那些硬核物理知识，一路钻研到……
