为什么值得读

  • 以较通俗的方式梳理前沿物理的时间认知史
  • 系统阐释无时间世界中时间之箭的表象假说
  • 构想极具启发性曾为知名硬科幻创作提供灵感

时间是一种错觉。尽管物理定律给人们造成了一种时间在流逝的强烈印象,但实际上只有永恒的“当下”。在《The End of Time》中,英国理论物理学家 Julian Barbour 描述了我们对世界认知即将发生的一场革命:一种将否定绝对时间存在的爱因斯坦广义相对论与要求时间存在的量子力学融为一体的宇宙量子理论。Barbour 认为,唯有最激进的思想才能化解这两种理论之间的冲突:即严格来说,完全不存在……

Hacker News 上怎么说

  • 我也推荐 Julian Barbour 写的这本非虚构物理书《时间的终结》(The End of Time)。它直接解释了这些想法,还启发了 Stephenson 写出《Anathem》。巧的是,我当时几乎是在同一时间读这三本书,一开始甚至没意识到它们……

    I also recommend the non-fiction physics book “The End of Time” by Julian Barbour. It explains these ideas directly, and inspired Stephenson to write Anathem. Weirdly, I happened to be reading all 3 of these around the same time, not initially realizing they were…

  • Julian Barbour 的《动理学的发现》(The Discovery of Dynamics)非常详尽地探讨了爱因斯坦之前“绝对与相对”的概念。他的《时间的终结》(The End of Time)则以更通俗的角度回顾了这些思想,并将故事延续到了20世纪。

    Julian Barbour's The Discovery of Dynamics goes into great detail on absolute vs. relative pre-Einstein. His The End of Time reviews the ideas at a more popular level and continues the story into the 20th C.

  • 你或许可以读一读 Julian Barbour 的著作,尤其是他的《时间的终结:物理学的下一场革命》(The End of Time: The Next Revolution in Physics),书中他试图用看似存在的时间之箭来解释一个无时间理论。这是我找到的一篇挺长的访谈(我只是粗略浏览了一下以确认大部分内容切题):……

    You might want to read some of Julian Barbour's writing, in particular his "The End of Time: The Next Revolution in Physics" where he tries to explain a theory of timelessness with an apparent arrow of time. Here is a rather long interview I found (and only skimmed to confirm its mostly relevant):…

  • 你可能会喜欢 Julian Barbour 的无时间物理学理论,他在《时间的终结》(the End of Time)一书中对此有详细阐述。

    You might enjoy Julian Barbour's theory of timeless physics, as described in his book "the End of Time".

  • ……限制在于我们把距离感知为某种必须依靠火箭而不是其他方法来克服的东西。时间也属于这一类。如果你想读一本关于这个话题的好书,推荐 Jason Barbour 的“时间的终结 引号。

    …limitation that we perceive distance as something to be overcome through rocket ships and not through other methods. Time is also in the same category. If you want to read a good book on the topic read “the end of Time quote by Jason Barbour.

  • ……去要求,根本就没有所谓的变化。没有生成(becoming),只有存在(being)。这是巴门尼德在古希腊时代得出的结论。Julian Barbour 就此写过一本书叫《时间的终结》(The End of Time),感兴趣的可以看看。

    …to demand, there’s no such thing as change at all. There’s no becoming, only being. This was the conclusion reached by Parmenides in ancient times. Julian Barbour wrote a book on the subject called The End of Time, for those who are interested.
