宇宙体系论 豆瓣
作者: (法)拉普拉斯 译者: 李珩 出版社: 上海译文出版社 2001 - 8
拉普拉斯脍炙人口的天文学著作《宇宙体系论》,不像《天体力学》那样理论深奥难懂,它尽弃一切数学公式,深入浅出,通俗流畅,为时人所推崇。《宇宙体系论》提倡有名的太阳系生成的星云假说,这个假说1755年康德(Immanuel Kant 1724-1804 德国哲学家)已经述及,所以后世通常叫做“康德-拉普拉斯星云假说”。
本书为“世纪文库”丛书之一。本书作者是18世纪法国著名数学家的天文学家。在本书中,作者提出了太阳系起源的星云学说,论述了天体运动的规律,并从数学上作了证明。本书是天文学史上的一本重要著作,对19世纪以后的科学发展产生了重大的影响。

Evolutionary Dynamics 豆瓣
作者: Martin A. Nowak 出版社: Belknap Press 2006 - 9
At a time of unprecedented expansion in the life sciences, evolution is the one theory that transcends all of biology. Any observation of a living system must ultimately be interpreted in the context of its evolution. Evolutionary change is the consequence of mutation and natural selection, which are two concepts that can be described by mathematical equations.Evolutionary Dynamics is concerned with these equations of life. In this book, Martin Nowak draws on the languages of biology and mathematics to outline the mathematical principles according to which life evolves. His work introduces readers to the powerful yet simple laws that govern the evolution of living systems, no matter how complicated they might seem.
Evolution has become a mathematical theory, Nowak suggests, and any idea of an evolutionary process or mechanism should be studied in the context of the mathematical equations of evolutionary dynamics. His book presents a range of analytical tools that can be used to this end: fitness landscapes, mutation matrices, genomic sequence space, random drift, quasispecies, replicators, the Prisoner's Dilemma, games in finite and infinite populations, evolutionary graph theory, games on grids, evolutionary kaleidoscopes, fractals, and spatial chaos. Nowak then shows how evolutionary dynamics applies to critical real-world problems, including the progression of viral diseases such as AIDS, the virulence of infectious agents, the unpredictable mutations that lead to cancer, the evolution of altruism, and even the evolution of human language. His book makes a clear and compelling case for understanding every living system--and everything that arises as a consequence of living systems--in terms of evolutionary dynamics.

2017年10月13日 已读
预学和复习时候读会好一些。老物理学家的科普得太硬了,没点基础读不了。全书以相变研究理论发展为框架。内容有些许和系列中的《超越自由》重合。不过本身就是有关学科。空间维度和自组织复杂化的思维有意思。学科本身还是发展中,不少问题没有解决。

引力波 豆瓣
作者: 珍娜·莱文 译者: 胡小锐 / 万慧 出版社: 中信出版集团股份有限公司 2017 - 8
十几亿年前,在浩瀚宇宙的某个时空,两个黑洞发生了碰撞。其中一个黑洞的质量是太阳的29倍,另一个是太阳的36倍,它们碰撞后合并成一个大黑洞,质量达到太阳的60倍。黑洞碰撞是宇宙起源以来威力最大的天文事件之一,释放出的能量超过1021个太阳。黑洞合并时,无数能量以引力波的形式,不停地向外传播,在时空中荡起层层涟漪。
1916年,阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦在一篇关于广义相对论的论文中预言了引力波的存在。2015年9月,引力波经过长达14亿光年的星际旅行来到了地球。
从伽利略用一架简陋的望远镜观察太阳开始,人类利用400多年来所拍摄的一系列静止的太空照片,汇编成一部讲述宇宙历史的无声电影。然而,所有望远镜都无法记录黑洞碰撞的过程,人类能够捕捉到的唯一线索可能就是时空振荡发出的声音。
半个世纪之前,一股记录宇宙声音的热潮悄然掀起。为了“在相当于地球周长1000亿倍的距离上测量出比人的头发丝直径还要小的长度变化”,为了给宇宙历史这部无声电影配上一张原声大碟,许多科研人员全身心地投入到引力波探测实验当中。
2015年9月和2016年2月,激光干涉引力波天文台(LIGO)两次成功探测到引力波,证实了100年前爱因斯坦的预言。
在书中,作者珍娜·莱文再现了50多年来,LIGO科学合作组织的科研人员在此过程中面临的困难、经受的考验和付出的艰辛。引力波探测本来只是一个有意思的思想实验,但引起了雷纳·韦斯、基普·索恩和罗纳德·德雷弗的注意。为了把梦想变成现实,他们组建了一支规模达数百人的国际性研究团队,建造了两台灵敏度非常高的巨型探测器。他们一直在跟时间赛跑,希望在爱因斯坦提出引力波概念100周年纪念日到来之前,能聆听到来自遥远太空的“引力波蓝调”。
珍娜·莱文将这个精彩程度不亚于《星际穿越》的故事娓娓道来,以引人入胜的笔触为我们描述了其间的惊奇、失望、成就、风险和人性。
这是一部关于引力波的编年史,有情节,有声音,更有温度。
迄今为止最权威、最一手、最受LIGO项目官方认可的“引力波”读物。一手的翔实资料,烧脑的科学知识,精彩的人性故事,坚毅的科学精神,生动呈现引力波长达14亿光年的星际之旅。
李淼、张双南、基普·索恩、曹军威国内外最华丽的物理学与天文学大咖阵容联袂力荐。
“能够穿越星际的,唯有引力波和爱” ,这是一部关于引力波的编年史和科普大片,也是一个有情节、有声音、有温度的“巨星”故事和一部划时代的使命宣言。
引力波的发现,补全了爱因斯坦广义相对论缺失的“最后一块拼图”,是过去100年最重要的宇宙学发现,LIGO项目组成员将是未来诺贝尔物理学奖的有力角逐者。
这部文笔优美的著作引领读者透过“引力波的窗口”了解宇宙探索的奥秘,认知黑洞碰撞与时空弯曲引发的天文现象。作为引力波探索活动的参与者,我发现珍娜·莱文把我们的愿景、奋斗过程,以及在成功道路上克服一切艰难险阻的精神都表现得淋漓尽致。我认为这是一部非常棒的作品。

The Universe in Your Hand 豆瓣
作者: [法]Christophe Galfard 出版社: Flatiron Books 2016 - 4
"If Ms. Frizzle were a physics student of Stephen Hawking, she might have written THE UNIVERSE IN YOUR HAND, a wild tour through the reaches of time and space, from the interior of a proton to the Big Bang to the rough suburbs of a black hole. It's friendly, excitable, erudite, and cosmic."
—Jordan Ellenberg, New York Times besteselling author of How Not To Be Wrong
Quantum physics, black holes, string theory, the Big Bang, dark matter, dark energy, parallel universes: even if we are interested in these fundamental concepts of our world, their language is the language of math. Which means that despite our best intentions of finally grasping, say, Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, most of us are quickly brought up short by a snarl of nasty equations or an incomprehensible graph.
Christophe Galfard's mission in life is to spread modern scientific ideas to the general public in entertaining ways. Using his considerable skills as a brilliant theoretical physicist and successful young adult author, The Universe in Your Hand employs the immediacy of simple, direct language to show us, not explain to us, the theories that underpin everything we know about our universe. To understand what happens to a dying star, we are asked to picture ourselves floating in space in front of it. To get acquainted with the quantum world, we are shrunk to the size of an atom and then taken on a journey. Employing everyday similes and metaphors, addressing the reader directly, and writing stories rather than equations renders these astoundingly complex ideas in an immediate and visceral way.
Utterly captivating and entirely unique, The Universe in Your Hand will find its place among other classics in the field

A Beautiful Question: Finding Nature's Deep Design Goodreads 豆瓣
作者: Frank Wilczek 出版社: Penguin Press 2015 - 7 其它标题: A Beautiful Question
Does the universe embody beautiful ideas?

Artists as well as scientists throughout human history have pondered this “beautiful question.” With Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek as your guide, embark on a voyage of related discoveries, from Plato and Pythagoras up to the present. Wilczek’s groundbreaking work in quantum physics was inspired by his intuition to look for a deeper order of beauty in nature. In fact, every major advance in his career came from this intuition: to assume that the universe embodies beautiful forms, forms whose hallmarks are symmetry—harmony, balance, proportion—and economy. There are other meanings of “beauty,” but this is the deep logic of the universe—and it is no accident that it is also at the heart of what we find aesthetically pleasing and inspiring.

Wilczek is hardly alone among great scientists in charting his course using beauty as his compass. As he reveals in A Beautiful Question , this has been the heart of scientific pursuit from Pythagoras, the ancient Greek who was the first to argue that “all things are number,” to Galileo, Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, and into the deep waters of twentiethcentury physics. Though the ancients weren’t right about everything, their ardent belief in the music of the spheres has proved true down to the quantum level. Indeed, Wilczek explores just how intertwined our ideas about beauty and art are with our scientific understanding of the cosmos.

Wilczek brings us right to the edge of knowledge today, where the core insights of even the craziest quantum ideas apply principles we all understand. The equations for atoms and light are almost literally the same equations that govern musical instruments and sound; the subatomic particles that are responsible for most of our mass are determined by simple geometric symmetries. The universe itself, suggests Wilczek, seems to want to embody beautiful and elegant forms. Perhaps this force is the pure elegance of numbers, perhaps the work of a higher being, or somewhere between. Either way, we don’t depart from the infinite and infinitesimal after all; we’re profoundly connected to them, and we connect them. When we find that our sense of beauty is realized in the physical world, we are discovering something about the world, but also something about ourselves.

Gorgeously illustrated, A Beautiful Question is a mind-shifting book that braids the age-old quest for beauty and the age-old quest for truth into a thrilling synthesis. It is a dazzling and important work from one of our best thinkers, whose humor and infectious sense of wonder animate every page. Yes: The world is a work of art, and its deepest truths are ones we already feel, as if they were somehow written in our souls.
