【内容简介】
从已被证实的疯狂想法——黑洞，
到尚在推测中的疯狂想法——白洞
在《白洞》中，罗韦利邀请你展开一段不可思议的旅程，进入黑洞内部。我们经过黑洞的中心，绕开恒星的残骸，来到时间与空间终结之处——白洞诞生的地方。白洞是黑洞的反演？从黑洞进去的东西会从白洞出来？跨过奇点，越过时间的尽头，会发生什么？
视角的差异、时间的弹性、因果关系的本质……为什么我们记得过去，而非未来？为什么我们觉得自己能决定未来，而非过去？在《白洞》中，罗韦利的讲述比《时间的秩序》更进一步，再一次颠覆你的直觉。

[Greene] develops one fresh new insight after another...In the great tradition of physicists writing for the masses, The Elegant Universe sets a standard that will be hard to beat. --George Johnson, The New York Times Book Review
In a rare blend of scientific insight and writing as elegant as the theories it explains, Brian Greene, one of the world's leading string theorists, peels away the layers of mystery surrounding string theory to reveal a universe that consists of 11 dimensions where the fabric of space tears and repairs itself, and all matter-from the smallest quarks to the most gargantuan supernovas-is generated by the vibrations of microscopically tiny loops of energy.
Green uses everything from an amusement park ride to ants on a garden hose to illustrate the beautiful yet bizarre realities that modern physics is unveiling. Dazzling in its brilliance, unprecedented in its ability to both illuminate and entertain, The Elegant Universe is a tour de force of science writing-a delightful, lucid voyage through modern physics that brings us closer than ever to understanding how the universe works.

数学是研究数量、结构、变化以及空间模型等概念的一门学科。透过抽象化和逻辑推理的使用，由计数、计算、量度和对物体形状及运动的观察中产生。数学家们拓展这些概念，为了公式化新的猜想以及从合适选定的公理及定义中建立起严谨推导出的真理。
本片分为4部分,为您讲述数学之谜.
1-数学-宇宙的语言.
2-中国东方的天才.
3-空间的边缘.
4-无穷大及其超越.

Starred Review. Mukherjee's debut book is a sweeping epic of obsession, brilliant researchers, dramatic new treatments, euphoric success and tragic failure, and the relentless battle by scientists and patients alike against an equally relentless, wily, and elusive enemy. From the first chemotherapy developed from textile dyes to the possibilities emerging from our understanding of cancer cells, Mukherjee shapes a massive amount of history into a coherent story with a roller-coaster trajectory: the discovery of a new treatment--surgery, radiation, chemotherapy--followed by the notion that if a little is good, more must be better, ending in disfiguring radical mastectomy and multidrug chemo so toxic the treatment ended up being almost worse than the disease. The first part of the book is driven by the obsession of Sidney Farber and philanthropist Mary Lasker to find a unitary cure for all cancers. (Farber developed the first successful chemotherapy for childhood leukemia.) The last and most exciting part is driven by the race of brilliant, maverick scientists to understand how cells become cancerous. Each new discovery was small, but as Mukherjee, a Columbia professor of medicine, writes, "Incremental advances can add up to transformative changes." Mukherjee's formidable intelligence and compassion produce a stunning account of the effort to disrobe the "emperor of maladies." (Nov.) (c)
