內容簡介

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.

作者簡介

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.

古老的三一學院依然保留著許多繁瑣的傳統習俗，例如正式的晚餐前全體師生都必須在禱告結束後方可用餐。另一項較為有趣的傳統則是讓入學新生在開學宴會的當天嘗試在正午鍾樓敲鍾時，圍繞巨庭跑完一圈。學生必須在鍾樓敲完全部鍾聲（大約43秒）的時間內跑完長達367米的庭院，而這即使是對田徑運動員而言也是有挑戰性的。 三一學院在暑期的五月舞會是英國第二大的有名舞會。
