Stephen Hawking

Kto sproektiroval i pridumal etot mir? I dlja chego eto bylo sdelano? Otvety na eti vechnye voprosy daet vydajuschijsja uchenyj sovremennosti Stiven Khoking. Ona budet interesna vsem, kto khochet rasshirit svoe ponimanie ustrojstva Vselennoj.

Dolgozhdannoe prodolzhenie prikljuchenij Dzhordzha i Anni, napisannoe genialnym astrofizikom, avtorom mnozhestva rabot o kosmose i samym izvestnym v mire populjarizatorom nauki Stivenom Khokingom i ego docherju, nauchnym zhurnalistom Ljusi Khoking. V pjatoj knige druzja otpravljajutsja v lager podgotovki junykh astronavtov, chtoby rassledovat tainstvennoe ischeznovenie sputnika Jupitera - Evropy. No i v samom lagere vse ne tak-to prosto: zadanija izmatyvajusche slozhnye i opasnye, a nachalnitsa lagerja Rika Dur, kazhetsja, zamyshljaet chto-to ne dobroe. No, vozmozhno, samym slozhnym budet to, chto v etom prikljuchenii druzjam predstoit razdelitsja i preodolevat vse trudnosti vmeste s vybrannymi dlja nikh naparnikami, kotorye, na pervyj vzgljad, ne samye prijatnye ljudi.

Eto istorija o kosmicheskikh prikljuchenijakh, v kotorye otpravljajutsja druzja, chtoby bolshe uznat o mire, v kotorom my zhivem. Eto takzhe istorija o zakonakh fiziki, kotorye upravljajut etim mirom. No, krome vsego prochego, eto istorija ob odinokom malchike po imeni Dzhordzh i o tom, kak izmenilas ego zhizn s togo dnja, kogda on poznakomilsja so svoimi novymi sosedjami - Anni i Erikom. Anni bolshe vsego na svete ljubit balet, a ee otets Erik, uchenyj-kosmolog, bolshe vsego na svete ljubit kosmos. Eriku pomogaet superkompjuter po imeni... "Kosmos". Etot kompjuter nastolko moschnyj i nastolko umnyj, chto umeet risovat dveri, cherez kotorye mozhno popast v ljubuju tochku Vselennoj (konechno, nadev pri etom skafandr - ved tam, v otkrytom kosmose, strashno kholodno!). A poka Dzhordzh i ego druzja issledujut kosmicheskoe prostranstvo, "Kosmos" upravljaet poletom... esli on na meste, konechno. No v ljuboj knizhke, dazhe v nauchno-prikljuchencheskoj, est zlye sily, kotorye... Dlja srednego shkolnogo vozrasta.

Pochemu zvezdy svetjat? Iz chego na samom dele sostoit Vselennaja? Chto budet, esli popast v chernuju dyru? Zachem nuzhna ushnaja sera? Kakim byl pervyj kulinarnyj retsept? Kogda my nachali khoronit mertvetsov? Kak my priruchili zhivotnykh? Kak zvuchala drevnejshaja muzyka? Kak antibiotiki atakujut bakterii - i kak bakterii oboronjajutsja? Pochemu koleso izobretali tak dolgo? Chto zapechatleno na pervom v mire rentgenovskom snimke? Kto stal pervym chelovekom v vozdukhe? Kak zarodilas zhizn i kak voznikli slozhnye ee formy? Zachem my spim? Kto izobrel tualetnuju bumagu? Kakoj byla pervaja pismennost u raznykh narodov? Kniga glavnogo redaktora New Scientist Grema Loutona, razdelennaja na shest bolshikh glav: "Vselennaja", "Nasha planeta", "Zhizn", "Tsivilizatsija", "Znanija", "Izobretenija", - dejstvitelno rasskazyvaet o proiskhozhdenii pochti vsego na svete.

Introduction by Professor Stephen Hawking. When Edwin Hubble looked into his telescope in the 1920s, he was shocked to find that nearly all of the galaxies he could see through it were flying away from one another. If these galaxies had always been travelling, he reasoned, then they must, at some point, have been on top of one another. This discovery transformed the debate about one of the most fundamental questions of human existence - how did the universe begin? Every society has stories about the origin of the cosmos and its inhabitants, but now, with the power to peer into the early universe and deploy the knowledge gleaned from archaeology, geology, evolutionary biology and cosmology, we are closer than ever to understanding where it all came from. In The Origin of (almost) Everything, New Scientist explores the modern origin stories of everything from the Big Bang, meteorites and dark energy, to dinosaurs, civilisation, timekeeping, belly-button fluff and beyond. From how complex life evolved on Earth, to the first written language, to how humans conquered space, The Origin of (almost) Everything offers a unique history of the past, present and future of our universe.

I denne posthume boka gir den verdenskjente kosmologen, astrofysikeren og forfatteren av A Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking, oss sine siste tanker om de virkelig store spørsmålene i universet. Hvordan oppstod universet? Vil menneskeheten overleve på Jorda? Finnes det intelligent liv utenfor vårt solsystem? Er det mulig at kunstig intelligens kan utmanøvrere oss? Gjennom sin ekstraordinære karriere utvidet Stephen Hawking vår forståelse av universet og avslørte noen av dets største mysterier. Men selv om hans grensesprengende teorier om svarte hull, imaginær tid og parallelle universer førte ham til rommets yttergrenser, hadde Hawking alltid en tro på at vitenskapen også kunne brukes til å løse problemene hjemme på vår egen planet. Og mot slutten av sitt liv, nå når vi står ansikt til ansikt med dramatiske endringer her på jorda - fra klimaforandringer til trusselen fra kunstig intelligens - vendte Stephen Hawking sin oppmerksomhet mot de temaene som er aller mest presserende for menneskeheten. Bredt anlagt, glødende engasjert og gjennomsyret av hans karakteristiske sans for humor er denne siste boken fra en av historiens fremste hjerner også den der han går lengst i å dele sine personlige tanker om de utfordringene vi mennesker nå står overfor og hvor vi, som planet, er på vei.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The world-famous cosmologist and author of A Brief History of Time leaves us with his final thoughts on the biggest questions facing humankind. "Hawking's parting gift to humanity . . . a book every thinking person worried about humanity's future should read."--NPR NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Forbes - The Guardian - Wired Stephen Hawking was the most renowned scientist since Einstein, known both for his groundbreaking work in physics and cosmology and for his mischievous sense of humor. He educated millions of readers about the origins of the universe and the nature of black holes, and inspired millions more by defying a terrifying early prognosis of ALS, which originally gave him only two years to live. In later life he could communicate only by using a few facial muscles, but he continued to advance his field and serve as a revered voice on social and humanitarian issues. Hawking not only unraveled some of the universe's greatest mysteries but also believed science plays a critical role in fixing problems here on Earth. Now, as we face immense challenges on our planet--including climate change, the threat of nuclear war, and the development of artificial intelligence--he turns his attention to the most urgent issues facing us. Will humanity survive? Should we colonize space? Does God exist? These are just a few of the questions Hawking addresses in this wide-ranging, passionately argued final book from one of the greatest minds in history. Featuring a foreword by Eddie Redmayne, who won an Oscar playing Stephen Hawking, an introduction by Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne, and an afterword from Hawking's daughter, Lucy, Brief Answers to the Big Questions is a brilliant last message to the world. Praise for Brief Answers to the Big Questions "[Hawking is] a symbol of the soaring power of the human mind."--The Washington Post "Hawking's final message to readers . . . is a hopeful one."--CNN "Brisk, lucid peeks into the future of science and of humanity."--The Wall Street Journal "Hawking pulls no punches on subjects like machines taking over, the biggest threat to Earth, and the possibilities of intelligent life in space."--Quartz "Effortlessly instructive, absorbing, up to the minute and--where it matters--witty."--The Guardian "This beautiful little book is a fitting last twinkle from a new star in the firmament above."--The Telegraph
