繼理查・費曼之後最會說故事的物理學家瑟斯坎，以外行人都能理解的清晰比喻，解釋相對論、量子力學、弦論和黑洞理論，寫下近代理論物理學最重要的一役。史蒂芬・霍金結合重力場論與量子場論的顛峰成就，導出「資訊會在黑洞蒸發過程中遺失」的悖論，威脅到整個自然律的根基。弦論創始人之一瑟斯坎於是與霍金展開了這場歷時二十多年的理論之戰。原來宇宙是個全像圖？弦論學家為了指出霍金的偉大「錯誤」，發現物理史上最驚人的原理。《黑洞戰爭》是當代最重要理論物理學家之一瑟斯坎的回憶錄，描述他參與一場關於黑洞本質辯論的持久戰的完整歷程，對手則是全球最知名的物理學家霍金。霍金原來基於廣義相對論，主張資訊一旦進入黑洞就被永遠銷毀，無法找回；但根據量子力學，資訊必須守恆，不能消失。瑟斯坎立刻意識到如果這是對的，我們對於宇宙基本規律的理解都必須拋棄──要麼資訊遺失，量子力學需要徹底重建，要麼就是廣義相對論在黑洞視界附近出了很根本的問題。於是，瑟斯坎向霍金的這項「黑洞資訊悖論」宣戰。《黑洞戰爭》描述的就是這場史詩級論戰。作者瑟斯坎是弦論創始人之一，在書中將畢生所學傾囊相授，深入淺出地剖析參戰雙方的一招一式，重現了現代物理學兩大支柱這場重大一戰的來龍去脈與完整實況。為了讓霍金承認錯誤，瑟斯坎和荷蘭物理學家特霍夫特，以數學證明了一項連怪異都無法形容的物理學理論：物質宇宙的一切，包括這本書、你的房子，還有你，其實都是來自宇宙視界邊緣的全像投影。全像原理是近五十年來物理學上最具革命性、最重要的物理學理論，它的成功，使物理學界對黑洞訊息遺失的看法得到扭轉，成為調和量子力學與廣義相對論的重大里程碑。最終霍金在2007年正式承認錯誤。瑟斯坎在書中提供大量詳盡的第一手資料，生動地刻畫出全球頂尖理論物理學界內部亦師亦友的交流現場，以及面對科學原理的真正歧見時不惜針鋒相對，毫不妥協。不論是對物理學思想，還是物理學故事有興趣的讀者，都絕不能錯過這本精采而重要的科普著作！

What happens when something is sucked into a black hole? Does it disappear? Three decades ago, a young physicist named Stephen Hawking claimed it did-and in doing so put at risk everything we know ab

At the beginning of the 21st century, physics is being driven to very unfamiliar territory--the domain of the incredibly small and the incredibly heavy. The new world is a world in which both quantum

The best-selling and awarding-winning novel about a Black boy who helps folk heroes and gods through storytelling is now a dynamic graphic novel!The talented team of Robert Venditti and Olivia Stephens brings to glorious full color the novel that best-selling author Jason Reynolds called A brilliant action adventure rooted in African American lore. Seventh grader Tristan Strong feels anything but strong ever since he failed to save his best friend when they were in a bus accident together. All he has left of Eddie is the journal his friend wrote stories in. Tristan is dreading the month he's going to spend on his grandparents' farm in Alabama, where he's being sent to heal from the tragedy. But on his first night there, a sticky creature shows up in his bedroom and steals Eddie's notebook. Tristan chases after it--is that a doll?--and a tug-of-war ensues between them underneath a Bottle Tree. In a last attempt to wrestle the journal out of the creature's hands, Tristan punches the tree
