具体描述

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.

  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。

此外,在巨庭和剑河中间还设计了另一个纳维尔庭院(Nevile's Court),但是这个庭院的整个风格要到17世纪末由建筑大师克里斯托弗·莱恩爵士(Sir Christopher Wren)设计的图书馆矗立起来之后才算完整。

三一学院的莱恩图书馆不仅藏有古埃及的木乃伊和中世纪的圣保罗信徒的书信手稿等一批珍贵的文物,还有苏格拉底等几十尊西方伟大思想家的雕像。《失乐园》的作者弥尔顿亦是三一学院的学生,所以他的手稿自然成了图书馆的新宠。
