Stephen Hawking was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge for thirty years and the recipient of numerous awards and honors including the Presidential Medal of Freedom. His books for the general reader include My Brief History, the classic A Brief History of Time, the essay collection Black Holes and Baby Universes, The Universe in a Nutshell, and, with Leonard Mlodinow, A Briefer History of Time and The Grand Design. He also co-authored a series of children’s books with his daughter, beginning with George’s Secret Key to the Universe. Stephen Hawking died in 2018.
The world-famous cosmologist and #1 bestselling author of A Brief History of Time leaves us with his final thoughts on the biggest questions facing humankind.
Stephen Hawking was the most renowned scientist since Einstein, known both for his groundbreaking work in physics and cosmology and for his mischievous sense of humor. He educated millions of readers about the origins of the universe and the nature of black holes, and inspired millions more by defying a terrifying early prognosis of ALS, which originally gave him only two years to live. In later life he could communicate only by using a few facial muscles, but he continued to advance his field and serve as a revered voice on social and humanitarian issues.
Hawking not only unraveled some of the universe’s greatest mysteries but also believed science plays a critical role in fixing problems here on Earth. Now, as we face immense challenges on our planet—including climate change, the threat of nuclear war, and the development of artificial intelligence—he turns his attention to the most urgent issues facing us.
Will humanity survive? Should we colonize space? Does God exist? These are just a few of the questions Hawking addresses in this wide-ranging, passionately argued final book from one of the greatest minds in history.
Featuring a foreword by Eddie Redmayne, who won an Oscar playing Stephen Hawking, an introduction by Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne, and an afterword from Hawking’s daughter, Lucy, Brief Answers to the Big Questions is a brilliant last message to the world.

評分 評分 評分今天晚上北京時間9點,會公布世界第一張黑洞照片。 在這個時間點,正適閤來寫霍金《十問》的讀後感。 我一直私心以為,理解宇宙的維度,是檢驗智商的標準之一。我隻能理解到四維,即霍金提到的比較平坦的四個維度。而對於摺疊到非常小的另外六個維度,我就完全無法感知到。某人...

評分##《十問》我極少涉獵科學類的書籍,連科幻都是我不太會拿起的類型。機緣巧閤這本書打開瞭我對科學興趣的門縫。整體讀來還是非常有收獲也是十分震撼的。我建議喜好讀哲學的人也一定要讀讀科普類的書,其中是有關聯性的。比如霍金對於宇宙由大爆發而來的討論和道傢哲學中一生萬物...
