为什么值得读

  • 被读者誉为所知最优秀的牛顿传记作品
  • 展现牛顿沉迷旧约年代学与炼金术的一面
  • 深度剖析牛顿世界观与现代科学的交汇

Hacker News 上怎么说

  • ……科学史学家们。我建议把钱德拉塞卡的书和 I. Bernard Cohen 与 Anne Whitman 翻译的《自然哲学的数学原理》(The Principia)、I. Bernard Cohen 写的《牛顿原理导读》(A Guide to Newton's Principia)、罗伯特·韦斯特福尔(Robert Westfall)写的传记《永不止步》(Never at Rest),以及近年来对牛顿研究的集大成之作《剑桥牛顿研究指南》(The Cambridge Companion to Newton)结合起来读。哦对了,如果你真的想读懂牛顿以及他的宇宙观,就必须去涉猎他的炼金术……

    …historians of science. I'd recommend pairing Chandrashekar with I. Bernard Cohen and Anne Whitman's translation of The Principia, I. Bernard Cohen's, A Guide to Newton’s Principia, Robert Westfall's biography Never at Rest, and the more recent synthesis of Newton scholarship, The Cambridge Companion to Newton. Oh, and if you really want to understand Newton and his view of the universe, you have to dip into his alchemy…

  • ……建立这套理论的人。里面的硬核科学内容很多,所以你需要扎实的基础。[5]《量子理论的历史发展》(The Historical Development of Quantum Theory)。理查德·韦斯特福尔写了我所知道的最好的一本牛顿传记:[6]《永不止步:艾萨克·牛顿传》(Never at Rest: A Biography of Isaac Newton)。最后,《现代物理评论》(Review of Modern Physics)第72卷第2期[7]绝对是无价之宝;里面收录了大量回顾物理学各个领域在……期间发展的史学综述。

    …who developed the theory. The science content is high so you need a good foundation. [5] The Historical Development of Quantum Theory Richard Westfall wrote the best Newton biography that I know. [6] Never at Rest: A Biography of Isaac Newton Finally the issue number 2 of the 72nd volume of Review of Modern Physics [7] is a gem; packed with historical reviews of the development of all fields in physics during…

  • ……现代思想与古代思想的奇妙杂糅。别忘了,他的大半生都致力于为《旧约》编纂年表以及整理归纳各种炼金术著作。可以参考韦斯特福尔的传记《永不止步》。

    …mix of the modern and the ancient. Remember that he devoted most of his working life to compiling a chronology of the old Testament and to summarising various alchemical works. See Westfall's biography Never at Rest.

  • ……被誉为伟大的工程师。总之,这里有几个推荐,希望能挑出一两本你手头还没有的:爱因斯坦篇 -> 《上帝是微妙的》(Subtle is the Lord),亚伯拉罕·派斯(Abraham Pais)著(前面已有人提过);牛顿篇 -> 《永不止步》(Never at Rest),理查德·韦斯特福尔著(前面已提过);伽利略篇 -> 《伽利略》(Galileo),约翰·海尔布隆(John Heilbron)著;奥本海默篇 -> 《身处核心》(Inside the Centre),雷·蒙克(Ray Monk)著,更偏技术的有:A. 派斯的《奥本海默传》;欧拉篇 -> 《欧拉:大师……

    …being lauded a great engineer. Anyway, here are some recommendations, hopefully you can pick one or two you still dont have: Einstein -> Subtle is the lord, Abraham Pais (Already mentioned) Newton -> Never at rest, Richard Westfall (Already mentioned) Galileo -> Galileo, John Heilbron Oppenheimer -> Inside the centre (Ray Monk), more technical: "Robert Oppenheimer, a life" A. Pais Euler -> Euler: The Master…

  • ……《时空的几何学:狭义与广义相对论导论》http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YJ4ZTE/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp... 另外我还强烈推荐韦斯特福尔写的牛顿权威传记《永不止步》。他花了大笔笔墨去抽丝剥茧分析牛顿在引力概念上遇到的困境。读起来就像站在牛顿肩膀后面看着他思考,附带旁白解说,能让你对那种奇特本质有更深入的认识……

    …Geometry of Spacetime: An Introduction to Special and General Relativity http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YJ4ZTE/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp... I also highly recommend Westfall's definitive biography of Newton, "Never at Rest." He spends a lot of time picking apart Newton's conceptual problems with gravity. It's like looking over Newton's shoulder, with added commentary, so you can glimpse a lot more about the weird nature…
