具體描述
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.

##想對Daniel的研究有一點點的瞭解而讀的
##原子身上的每一個質子、中子、電子，都是正反物質湮滅中十億分之一的幸存者 | 物質4%，暗物質26%，暗能量70% | 隨著空間越來越大，暗能量越來越多，宇宙膨脹的加速度也會越來越大。再過一萬億年，除瞭銀河係以外，天空中將再也看不到其他的星星 | 多一種視角，多一種自由度
##月初聽的，後麵用來做瞭一點聽寫。我也不知道為嘛讀瞭這麼多其實很簡單的科普，大概是每次都會發現一點新鮮玩意兒。比如說貴州的FAST是世界上最棒最大的radio telescope啦，如果有外星人打電話一定是中國人先收到(?)。(1)我一直知道quark來自於芬尼根守靈夜，但不知道一開始科學傢以為quark隻有3種，所以纔用瞭那句“Three quarks for Muster Mark!” (2)關於periodic table裏麵元素名稱的來源，跟astrophysics裏麵一些詞語的詞源是一樣的，而且發現的順序有些也是一樣的，天文和化學這就結閤在一起瞭。例如：“Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto ” 對應Uranium，neptunium， plutonium。當然他們
##嚮外探索，開個腦洞~ #記在住院期間一個充實的學習
##今年看的最好的書，從世界觀上升到宇宙觀，然後雕琢我們的人生觀。
推薦，會再讀。 特彆是最後一章。
##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.
