内容简介

Roger Penrose, one of the most accomplished scientists of our time, presents the only comprehensive and comprehensible account of the physics of the universe. From the very first attempts by the Greeks to grapple with the complexities of our known world to the latest application of infinity in physics, The Road to Reality carefully explores the movement of the smallest atomic particles and reaches into the vastness of intergalactic space. Here, Penrose examines the mathematical foundations of the physical universe, exposing the underlying beauty of physics and giving us one the most important works in modern science writing.

作者简介

Roger Penrose is Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University. He has received a number of prizes and awards, including the 1988 Wolf Prize for physics, which he shared with Stephen Hawking for their joint contribution to our understanding of the universe. His books include The Emperor's New Mind, Shadows of the Mind, and The Nature of Space and Time, which he wrote with Hawking. He has lectured extensively at universities throughout America. He lives in Oxford.

那么，宇宙中的黑洞我们怎样来解释呢？假设，宇宙中的黑洞就像我们人体中的血管一样，试想，一个细胞或者一个极小的分子假如一旦落入了血管中，那会是怎样的情形呢？此时这个细胞或组织就根本无法左右自己了，对于它来讲，这个速度就像我们想像的光速一样是不可能达到的。

　　皇帝视线掠过远处林边相候的简璟辰，和声道：“容儿，你看我这个儿子怎么样？”　　“容儿对宁王殿下不太了解，不好回答皇上的这个问题。”蓝徽容漠然道。　　“我？看来，你是铁定心不愿嫁给他了，为什么？不是听说你曾与辰儿相处甚欢吗？”皇帝立住脚步，转头望向蓝徽容。

　　蓝徽容淡然一笑：“连个可以对望的人都没有，那皇上这么多年，岂不是十分寂寞？”　　皇帝步下巨石，负手而行，轻叹道：“是啊，这么多年，没人敢和朕对望，没人敢和朕并肩而行，更没人敢和朕纵情欢笑，实是有些寂寞啊！”
