商品描述

This book offers a comprehensive exploration into the intertwined realms of Einstein's theory of general relativity, the discoveries of black holes, and the quantum conundrums that challenge our understanding of the universe. It delves into the fascinating journey from the birth of general relativity to the cutting-edge debates surrounding black holes, wormholes, and quantum physics. The narrative weaves through the historical milestones, including Schwarzschild's 1916 solution, the emergence of black holes in theoretical physics, and the ongoing quest to reconcile general relativity with quantum mechanics. Central to the book is exploring the information paradox and its implications for modern physics, shedding light on the profound questions and theoretical challenges that have captivated physicists for decades. It also critically examines the ER=EPR conjecture, a pivotal idea proposed by Leonard Susskind and Juan Maldacena, which suggests a deep connection between entangled quantumparticles and the structure of spacetime. In addition, the book engages with contemporary theoretical experiments on wormholes, framed within Nancy Cartwright's philosophical theories, offering a unique perspective on the reliability and interpretation of these groundbreaking scientific concepts. The main topics covered are not only crucial for understanding the universe but also embody the ongoing quest for a unified theory in physics. They represent the cutting edge of scientific inquiry, where the mysteries of black holes, the fabric of spacetime, and the perplexities of quantum mechanics converge. This book is designed for physicists, historians of science, and academically inclined readers interested in the evolution of theoretical physics and the groundbreaking ideas that have shaped our understanding of the cosmos. It offers a detailed yet accessible narrative, making it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to grasp the complexities and triumphs of modern physics.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書全面探討了愛因斯坦廣義相對論、黑洞的發現以及挑戰我們對宇宙理解的量子難題之間的交織領域。它深入探討了從廣義相對論的誕生到圍繞黑洞、蟲洞和量子物理的前沿辯論的迷人旅程。敘述穿梭於歷史里程碑之中，包括施瓦茨希爾德在1916年的解決方案、黑洞在理論物理中的出現，以及持續尋求將廣義相對論與量子力學調和的努力。本書的核心在於探討信息悖論及其對現代物理的影響，揭示了幾十年來吸引物理學家的深刻問題和理論挑戰。它還批判性地檢視了ER=EPR猜想，這是一個由萊昂納德·薩斯金德和胡安·馬爾達塞納提出的關鍵概念，該概念暗示了糾纏量子粒子與時空結構之間的深刻聯繫。此外，本書還探討了當代關於蟲洞的理論實驗，並以南希·卡特賴特的哲學理論為框架，提供了對這些開創性科學概念的可靠性和解釋的獨特視角。所涵蓋的主要主題不僅對理解宇宙至關重要，還體現了物理學中對統一理論的持續追求。它們代表了科學探究的前沿，黑洞的神秘、時空的結構以及量子力學的困惑在此交匯。本書旨在為物理學家、科學史學家以及對理論物理演變和塑造我們對宇宙理解的開創性思想感興趣的學術讀者提供資源。它提供了詳細而易於理解的敘述，使其成為任何希望掌握現代物理複雜性和成就的讀者的寶貴資源。

作者簡介

As a researcher focusing on the history and philosophy of the Special and General Theories of Relativity and black holes, Galina Weinstein currently holds a position at Reichman University, Israel, and contributes as a research associate in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Haifa, Israel. Her academic path has been enriched by awards received during her PhD studies and thereafter. Various fellowships and scholarships, including a GIF (German Israeli Foundation Research) grant that supported my post-doctoral research, have enabled Galina to deepen and extend her research. Her experience includes periods as an invited researcher at research centers in the United States and Europe, where she had the privilege of collaborating with other scholars in the field. These experiences she found invaluable in broadening her perspective and deepening her understanding of the complexities of relativity and black hole research.
