The essential universe, from our most celebrated and beloved astrophysicist.
What is the nature of space and time? How do we fit within the universe? How does the universe fit within us? There’s no better guide through these mind-expanding questions than acclaimed astrophysicist and best-selling author Neil deGrasse Tyson.
But today, few of us have time to contemplate the cosmos. So Tyson brings the universe down to Earth succinctly and clearly, with sparkling wit, in tasty chapters consumable anytime and anywhere in your busy day.
While you wait for your morning coffee to brew, for the bus, the train, or a plane to arrive, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry will reveal just what you need to be fluent and ready for the next cosmic headlines: from the Big Bang to black holes, from quarks to quantum mechanics, and from the search for planets to the search for life in the universe.
##Lucid. Dark matter and dark energy keep our universe together and expanding respectively. The Big Bang created three simplest yet most abundant elements in universe: H, He and Li. Earth is constantly hit by meteors on its orbit and the situation was way worse in the past. Eventually some meteors in the Asteroid/Kuiper Belt will kill us all.
评分推荐,会再读。 特别是最后一章。

评分##向外探索,开个脑洞~ #记在住院期间一个充实的学习
评分##开始只觉得是一本写得很有趣 很清晰易读的科普读物 最后一章的人文情怀简直是升华 Tyson太让人感动了。 早上读到的时候正好在Tree Organics咖啡厅 外面下雨 背景音乐是blow'in in the wind… 人类身体的组成成分和宇宙大部分的东西一样 都是碳氢氧组成 一点不特别 可这不说明我们和其他东西联系紧密吗 我们都来源于大爆炸后的星尘啊;可是即便基因差距甚小 人类却成为地球上最聪明的生物 岂不太奇妙;另外 从宇宙整体来看 人类太渺小太脆弱 可正因为如此 我们才更应该有能促进人类社会发展的宏大的 成熟的宇宙观 珍视人类间的差异 合力向外探索更广阔的世界 而非拘泥于资源的争夺(突然想起make the pie bigger
评分##文艺如我确实喜欢"We are stardust brought to life, then empowered by the universe to figure itself out.”但我更喜欢“Einstein was such a badass”,然后说外星人如果联系地球,中国是最先知道的好好笑。Audio book有惊喜,本人阅读!
评分##书写得很好,也很浅显易懂。但我逐渐意识到,读科普并不能让一个人学到知识。它只能提供一些有意思的facts,大部分看过就忘,能记住的少许也只能在日常生活中聊作谈资,假装对这个话题有所了解。想了解一个话题,把散落的facts组织成系统的知识网络,下功夫啃看似枯燥的教科书是唯一最有效的方法。
评分##月初听的,后面用来做了一点听写。我也不知道为嘛读了这么多其实很简单的科普,大概是每次都会发现一点新鲜玩意儿。比如说贵州的FAST是世界上最棒最大的radio telescope啦,如果有外星人打电话一定是中国人先收到(?)。(1)我一直知道quark来自于芬尼根守灵夜,但不知道一开始科学家以为quark只有3种,所以才用了那句“Three quarks for Muster Mark!” (2)关于periodic table里面元素名称的来源,跟astrophysics里面一些词语的词源是一样的,而且发现的顺序有些也是一样的,天文和化学这就结合在一起了。例如:“Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto ” 对应Uranium,neptunium, plutonium。当然他们
评分##10颗星推荐,写得真的太好了,是我读过最喜欢的科普书了。从big bang开始无限的时空里发生的事情,用一本小书去串联,传授知识又饱含人文思考。人类每一次对宇宙的探索都是好多科学家传承接力(爱因斯坦和牛顿频繁出镜),一次次的突破开始的。认识宇宙,了解人类的渺小,甚至是地球的渺小,再看看2020发生的这些事,胸怀反而很宽广,非常empowering。
