时间简史续编
本书是从获奖纪录片电影《时间简史》而产生的，叙述了霍金教授的生命历程和研究工作，展现了他巨大的理论架构后面那位真实的“人”。全书附有人物照片及霍金教授生平照片，同时还有大量图片展现所讨论的科学观念，包括黑洞、时间之箭等。
从与电影制作人讨论拍摄《时间简史》这部电影起，霍金教授就坚持不要将其拍成一部传记性电影，而是要一部能为广大观众阐释他的研究学说的电影。因此，这部花费350万英镑，获得美国纪录片大奖的电影就成了一部生动的关于霍金教授的口述历史。其中，包含了霍金、他的家庭、生平好友、同事和世界知名的物理学家，以及关于霍金教授的科学概念的演化与性质的充满激情的过程历览。
这本书没有新的写作技巧，也没有华丽的词藻，但读后让人深受感动。这是一个真实的、倔强的、独特的霍金，他在科学道路上的不懈追求，使我们有一种积极向上的精神！

About the author
Stephen W. Hawking
242 books12.8k followersStephen William Hawking was an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author who was director of research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology at the University of Cambridge. Between 1979 and 2009, he was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge, widely viewed as one of the most prestigious academic posts in the world.
Hawking was born in Oxford into a family of physicians. In October 1959, at the age of 17, he began his university education at University College, Oxford, where he received a first-class BA degree in physics. In October 1962, he began his graduate work at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, where, in March 1966, he obtained his PhD degree in applied mathematics and theoretical physics, specialising in general relativity and cosmology. In 1963, at age 21, Hawking was diagnosed with an early-onset slow-progressing form of motor neurone disease that gradually, over decades, paralysed him. After the loss of his speech, he communicated through a speech-generating device initially through use of a handheld switch, and eventually by using a single cheek muscle.
Hawking's scientific works included a collaboration with Roger Penrose on gravitational singularity theorems in the framework of general relativity, and the theoretical prediction that black holes emit radiation, often called Hawking radiation. Initially, Hawking radiation was controversial. By the late 1970s, and following the publication of further research, the discovery was widely accepted as a major breakthrough in theoretical physics. Hawking was the first to set out a theory of cosmology explained by a union of the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. He was a vigorous supporter of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Hawking achieved commercial success with several works of popular science in which he discussed his theories and cosmology in general. His book A Brief History of Time appeared on the Sunday Times bestseller list for a record-breaking 237 weeks. Hawking was a Fellow of the Royal Society, a lifetime member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States. In 2002, Hawking was ranked number 25 in the BBC's poll of the 100 Greatest Britons. He died in 2018 at the age of 76, having lived more than 50 years following his diagnosis of motor neurone disease.
