书籍简介：

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 for 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.

作者简介：

Stephen Hawking's ability to make science understandable and compelling to a lay audience was established with the publication of his first book, A Brief History of Time, which has sold nearly 10 million copies in 40 languages. Hawking has authored or participated in the creation of numerous other popular science books, including The Universe in a Nutshell, A Briefer History of Time, On the Shoulders of Giants, The Illustrated On the Shoulders of Giants, and George's Secret Key to the Universe.

书友短评：

@ Mavis 正在听电子书，2小时开始的时候，简直是对上周贺建奎事件的精准预测。 @ 烤芬 一个遥望宇宙这么久这么专注的人，竟没有迷失在夜空中，而是总能回到人世间，这太伟大了。 @ Hildegaard 最会写书的宇宙学家和最有知识的科普作者。勇敢，乐观，风趣，非常好读。 @ Kinoko 师父借给我读的：） @ 虹逸影 物理学渣真的读不懂啊，看亚里士多德和康德出现在物理论坛上还是蛮有破次元的感觉的。霍金先生真是太幽默了！ @ 阿哈默 英文显浅易懂。适合中学生课外英语阅读。 @ milkxxx-v- However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.结尾最后那几句话这几年给过我很多的抚慰 原来是出自这本书 看到最后真的有被戳到的泪目感 @ BaladeurS 结尾处霍金女儿写的后记读到泪目 是怎样的信念能让一个人如此坚定不移地探索科学、探索宇宙 无论遇到多少困难和阻碍 都将其作为一生的事业和使命 希望如霍金所期待的一般 在不远的将来 人类能在认知宇宙、认识自己的旅程中走得更深更远 为暂未被解决的大问题找到解答 – unleash your imagination @ SHSHSHSH 霍老爷子乐观并谨慎地用科学事实看待人类未来，但最后人类的希望始终应该着眼于科学教育。身处保守党下的英国和2020，更能感受到霍老爷子对于科教投入的担忧。政客变得越来越短视、世界霸主不再做引领世界科学探索的老大哥，制造问题的速度超过了解决问题的速度，人类能在小阴沟里痛定思痛吗？还是要再来一次破坏性的“不破不立”吗？ @ 京城司南 看了一半简直大脑烧坏了，原来bigbang可以是一个完全random的事件，也没有原因造成它发生，时间在大爆炸之前是不存在的，DNA的所有前身（包括RNA）的发生也可以是random，而人类的intelligence也可以是所有进化可能性中随机发生的一种，让人觉得我活在这个世上真是一件神奇的事情！霍金这小老头实在太可爱了！
