为什么值得读
- 完全摒弃晦涩技术细节而清晰拆解理论
- 透彻讲清两大物理理论的深层冲突
- 生动展示弦理论作为终极理论的解决途径
在这部令人耳目一新、清晰透彻的著作中,顶尖 string theorist Brian Greene 讲述了追寻终极理论背后的科学历程与人类奋斗。正如作者生动描述的那样,string theory 所揭示的宇宙图景正在物理学界掀起惊涛骇浪。诸如隐藏在空间结构中的新维度、black holes 转变为 elementary particles、space-time continuum 中的撕裂与穿孔、巨大宇宙与微小宇宙之间的互换等激动人心且具革命性的概念,正发挥着关键……

……时空——简单来说,你总是在空间和时间中移动,在空间中移动得越多,在时间中移动得就越少。反之亦然。布莱恩·格林在《宇宙的琴弦》(The Elegant Universe)里把这些解释得非常透彻。如果你对这方面感兴趣,推荐看看。
…space/time -- in short, you're always moving in space and time, and the more you move in space, the less you move in time. Vice-versa. Brian Greene does a pretty good job of explaining all this in the Elegant Universe. If you're into this kind of thing, check it out.
布莱恩·格林的《宇宙的琴弦》(The Elegant Universe)写得极好,完全不用晦涩的技术术语就把这两种理论之间的冲突解释得明明白白。接着他还阐述了为什么弦理论(String Theory)是解决该问题的一个可能途径。
Brian Greene's "The Elegant Universe" does a very good, completely non-technical, job of explaining the conflict between the two theories. It then goes on to explain why String Theory is one possible solution to the problem.

《时间简史》是斯蒂芬·霍金写的。它真的很通俗易懂,读起来很顺畅。我也很喜欢布莱恩·格林的《宇宙的琴弦》。那是我读过的第一本能用我听得懂的方式把物理学标准模型以及狭义和广义相对论都解释清楚的书。
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 standard model of physics and special and general relativity in ways that made sense to me.
……为外行找到过关于弦理论的优秀描述或解释。我找来找去,最后总是碰上布莱恩·格林。你觉得格林的描述或解释欠缺在哪里?我觉得《宇宙的琴弦》挺不错的啊。
…found a good description or explanation of string theory for the layman. I look, but then I always run into Brian Greene What do you find lacking in Greene's description or explanation? I found "The Elegant Universe" pretty good.
