作品简介
国际知名的理论物理学家、科学作家劳伦斯M.克劳斯引领我们探索宇宙中最大的未知问题。
科学中最重要的四个字是，我不知道。不知道意味着宇宙充满可能性，关于探索和惊奇的可能性。我们对于宇宙学的理解在过去五百年现代科学的进程中已经有所加深，但是许多关于存在的根本性谜题依然存在。我们的宇宙是如何开始的，如果它真的有一个开端的话？它有多大？黑洞的底部有什么？地球上的生命是如何出现的？我们是孤单的吗？时间旅行是有可能的吗？
这些谜题定义了科学的前沿，未知的边界。探索边界，就需要对科学已经走了多远有更加深刻的理解。在《那些人类已知的未知问题》中，国际知名的理论物理学家和畅销科普图书作家劳伦斯·克劳斯探索了宇宙学中最重要的已知的未知问题，涵盖了时间、空间、物理法则、生命与意识。克劳斯为读者介绍道，这些主题将塑造未来几十年的科学，同时也邀请我们沉思并欣赏我们所在的这个宇宙。
劳伦斯·M.克劳斯，著名理论物理学家，畅销书作家，亚利桑那州立大学起源项目主任。著作《无中生有的宇宙》曾获2011年美国最佳科普图书奖。发表过300多篇科学论文，著有9本书，获得过多个奖项，在很多报纸和杂志常设专栏，包括《纽约客》等。克劳斯经常参加广播或电视节目，客串电影。
Introduction of works
Internationally renowned theoretical physicist and science writer Lawrence M. Krauss leads our quest to explore the universe's greatest unknown questions.
The four most important words in science are, I don't know. Not knowing means the universe is full of possibilities, possibilities for exploration and wonder. Our understanding of cosmology has deepened in the course of modern science over the past 500 years, but many fundamental mysteries about existence remain. How did our universe begin, if it really had a beginning? How big is it? What's at the bottom of a black hole? How did life emerge on Earth? Are we alone? Is time travel even possible?
These puzzles define the frontiers of science, the boundaries of the unknown. Exploring the boundaries requires a deeper understanding of how far science has come. In The Known Unknowns, internationally renowned theoretical physicist and best-selling science book author Lawrence Krauss explores the most important known unknowns in cosmology, covering time, space, the laws of physics, life and consciousness. These topics will shape science for decades to come, Kraus says, while inviting us to contemplate and appreciate the universe in which we live.
Lawrence M. Krauss is a renowned theoretical physicist, best-selling author, and director of the Origins Project at Arizona State University. His book "A Universe Out of Nothing" won the 2011 American Science Book Award. He has published more than 300 scientific papers, nine books, won several awards, and is a regular columnist in many newspapers and magazines, including The New Yorker. Krause often appears on radio or television shows and guest stars in movies.
