The solar system is a hostile place. Earth is under attack from deadly cosmic radiation. Life here is only possible because it is protected by the magnetosphere, an invisible force field that cocoons the planet. But new evidence reveals that this vit...
Twice a year, day and night, fall into balance, lasting for nearly equal length. Known as equinoxes, Latin for equal night, they occur in March and September and along with solstices mark the changing of seasons as Earth travels around the sun. 每年有...
Wit M Theory, it seemed at last there was a theory which might explain everything in the universe. But before they could decide if this was true, the scientists need to know about this new eleventh dimension. It quickly became clear it was a place wh...
In effect, our entire universe is a membrane. The quest to explain everything in the universe could begin again and at its heart would be this new theory. It was dubbed Membrane Theory or M Theory, but so enigmatic and profound did the idea seem that...
Well it was a wonderful feeling to think that all those years spent in the eleventh dimension will not completely wasted. 这是一种奇妙的感觉,这些年花费在第11维度上的研究不完全是无用功。 The two camps had been absolutely...
In a final desperate move, the String Theories tried adding one last thing to their cherished idea. They added the very thing they had spent a decade rubbishing--the eleventh dimension. Now something almost magically happened to the five competing st...
The equations of super gravity took their simplest and most elegant form when written in this eleven dimensional framework. 超重力方程式以最简单、最优雅的形式写出了这11个维度的框架。 There was a war between the tenth dimen...
It was a very lonely time in many ways. When I tried to get graduate students interested, many of them would say well look, you may be right and you may be wrong. But if I work in super gravity, I'm not going to find a job. 很多方面是一个很孤独...
When String theory fell apart, not everyone was distraught. Some people even seem to relish the fact. 当弦理论破裂时,不是每个人都心烦意乱。有些人甚至似乎喜欢这个事实。 The String theory really was this so-called theory...
But the problem with the Big Bang was soon overshadowed; the Strings were in trouble too. The hope had been that the String theory would evolve into the single definitive explanation for the universe. But as more and more people worked on it, somethi...
String theory was so provocative and downright weird that it immediately began to sound like a perfect theory of everything. 超弦理论是如此具有煽动性并且又带着几分神秘感,所以这一理论马上给人的感觉就是完美的万物...
In Britain,the famous physicist Stephen Hawkings was even so confident.He claimed physics was ready to read the mind of god.That was soon to known big scientific problems left.One idea was the most revolutionary of all it seemed to shotfire 'Theory o...
But in time parallel universes will make a spectacular comeback.This time they'll be different.They'll be even stranger that Elvis being alive.There's an old proverb that says Be careful what you wishful,in case your wish comes true.The most farther...
