Produktbeschreibungen

Amazon.co.uk

Stephen Hawking, one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists in history, wrote the modern classic A Brief History of Time to help non-scientists understand fundamental questions of physics and our existence: where did the universe come from? How and why did it begin? Will it come to an end, and if so, how? Hawking attempts to deal with these questions (and where we might look for answers) using a minimum of technical jargon. Among the topics gracefully covered are gravity, black holes, the Big Bang, the nature of time and physicists' search for a grand unifying theory. This is deep science; the concepts are so vast (or so tiny) that they cause mental vertigo while reading, and one can't help but marvel at Hawking's ability to synthesize this difficult subject for people not used to thinking about things like alternate dimensions. The journey is certainly worth taking for as Hawking says, the reward of understanding the universe may be a glimpse of "the mind of God". --Therese Littleton, Amazon.com -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Taschenbuch .

5.0 von 5 Sternen Genial, 5. Dezember 2003
Von Ein Kunde
Stephen Hakings schafft es einem das Universum in einfachen Worten näher zu bringen. Dieses Buch stillt den Durst nach Wissen über die Hintergründe unserer Existens. Hawkings schafft es dennoch ohne Formeln (mal von E=MC^2 abgesehen) zurecht zu kommen. Das Buch befasst sich von Aristoteles Auffassung des Universums bishin zu Theorien des späten 20ten Jahrhunderts.
Das Buch liest sich sehr leicht (da Hawkings immer wieder lustige Kommentare einfügt) und man ist immer wieder erstaunt über das was man liest. Ich denke dieses Buch war SEHR gut investiertes Geld. Aber der Erfolg des Buches spricht wohl für sich selbst: es hielt sich 237 Wochen in der Bestsellerliste der Sunday Times. Nathan Myhrvold von Microsoft stellte fest, dass von Hawkings Büchern über Physik mehr verkauft wurden als von Madonnas Büchern über Sex.

2.0 von 5 Sternen A black hole of meaninglessness!, 7. März 2009
Von Roman Nies (Helibrunna) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
(REAL NAME)   
A really short story indeed! The sophisticated newspaper "Die Zeit" exaggerated strongly when it wrote: The physician Hawking is about to find the formula that explains the universe!"
Perhaps this was meant ironical, as if the universe could be explained with some formulas! Formulas can at best help to better understand the whole thing which can only be measured in parts. And understanding the universe does not entail to know what is beyond, before or after. Meanwhile some more years have passed and Hawking has not yet outwitted Einstein!
Elsewhere it is also hard to agree that Hawking achieved something really convincing. He incures pre-arranged opinions rather undeliberated. As an example I exemplify the apes who type on a type writer so-and- so many million years and finally bring out a Sonnet of Shakespeare. That may be. But the error in reasoning is this: that there must be also somebody who knows that this is Shakespeare, let us read and like it! And then again million apes have to type for another billion years till the next work of Shakespeare. Only that nobody can remember the first work! This is how Hawking explains the evolution theory! This is all about facts! A poor performance of human reason! But impressing for the awestruck reader who holds no academic grade in physics!
On the other side Hawking praises the "uncertainty relation" of Heisenberg. That one exactly puts an "Outside" of this cosmos beside the "Inside" of the representatives with a view more dictated to see the "inside-is-everything"- view. Hawking claims: "The uncertainty relation has far reaching effects for our view of the world. Even today, fifty years after its formulation, many philosophers have not yet grasped the whole meaning..." yes, and Hawking joins them! Here also, it seems, Hawkings conclusions have a certain uncertainty relation, which I would like to christen the "uncertainty relation" of Hawking! The laugh is always on the loser!
Uncertain is Hawking also in his conclusions on the entropy, that is: the fact that the parts of the whole have the increasing tendency to create nothing more than disorder and only a purposeful input of energy can turn that process. This proves that the universe should have to be chaotic if only moved by material and energy in space and time. Not so for Hawking!
Intelligent creatures, Hawking is asserting, can only be in the expansion-phase of the universe! I bet that Hawking likes Harry Potter! Are we proper in the expansion-phase at the moment?

Great also how Hawking reports how he escaped the clutches of the pope, because he did not like to share the fate of Galilei! Hawking had thought about abolishing God with the invention of an idea which contradicted the wish of the pope (who had called on a conference about cosmos questions) nobody may assert any binding statements could be made on the question what was before the Big Bang. Hawking`s idea was that time-space is limited, but without borders! So no need for a God! Did you know this?

Thanks to Hawking we know now! What will God say to this? This is indeed comparable to the Galilei discussion. Because Galilei had asserted something in the public what the Vatican had not denied out of ignorance, but because the Vatican wanted that the man on the street, who the church had kept uneducated, would not get an inner conflict, when he was confronted with the truth, that the Earth is not flat but round. For the church it was about power, not about truth (nothing has changed therein). That the Earth is round was known since long even in the clergy (the idea of a slice stems from the paganism). I a m tired of reading historically wrong Gallilei-the- Earth- is- round- stories.

It is true, much of what he is writing und what others before him wrote, is correct. How he explains the relativity theory of Einstein. But you could read that somewhere else as well, that the universe expands; that it seems to have had a beginning; that, when a cherry falls from a tree, it does nothing else as might be expected by Newton or Einstein; that a body with double weight is drawn to earth by double force; that black holes are not quite as black as we might think, etc.. We also hear what happens when a black hole is becoming very small, although it "is not really clear, very probable it would disappear for ever in a radiation-eruption, the equivalent of millions of H-bomb explosions!" Ah, right, so it is very probable!
The genesis of life is described by Hawking like this: "possibly" atoms and molecules got together! Geez! Do not bite off more what you can chew!
For somebody, who is not so much busy with the topic, let him say, right, let us take in some of these, it might be not too bad. For others who want serious material I cannot give a recommendation and I can only warn of this superficial, in parts sloppily considered work. For me a mispurchase. I only read it, to know what Hawking has to say. Indeed not much and that is enough honour I can give him! I fear that his book will also disappear one day in a black hole of meaninglessness!
By the way, since long I came to the conclusion: scholarship which is not bridled by humbleness, is very close to foolishness.

According to his final words Hawkings seems to believe in the possible final triumph of the human reason over the world-mysteries. The last sentence: "- then we would know Gods plan!" seems to be too optimistic, because the human mind is too much in this world bound. It makes more sense to hope for an abbreviation of the procedure: God could explain his plan Himself!

4.0 von 5 Sternen very interesting but somewhat lengthy, 22. Januar 2002
I really do like the idea to address such an exciting subject to non mathematicians. The choice of topics is well balanced and gives you an interesting introduction into the modern view of our universe. In particular the introduction of sometimes contradictory models explain how physics works-the evolution of ideas. I personally admire one who admits errors in the course of his scientific career, as Hawking does. However despite the lack of any formula the book is not easy to understand. In contrary some formulas would help--at least the lengthy way of writing numbers (one million million million million million million million - a 1 with 42 zeros) does not increase the readability. I'm still looking for a book presenting formulas but explaining them and pointing out the consequences. Nevertheless I enjoyed reading "a brief history of time" and will now turn to "the universe in a nutshell". For all who have strong interest in topics such as relativity, quantum mechanics and space-time but are not willing to study mathematics this book definitely is an excellent starting point.
