一個搞文科的傢伙，從來沒有什麼發現、發明和創造，居然要對數學家、物理學家、化學家如何進行發現、發明和創造搞個什麼結論，這本身就是十分荒唐的。每個數學家、物理學家、化學家都是用他本身特有的語言進行思維的，不是人類的普通語言。不然，每人都是科學家了。他們特有的思維語言是不可能遺傳的，也不是可以總結的。天體物理學家Stephen Hawking，最傑出的發現都是在失去語言能力的情況下取得的，與任何人都沒有語言交流，這是對你的荒唐的結論：人類的語言。。和人類大腦。。，一一對應的荒唐結論的一記響亮的耳光。
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.
Hawking, the renowned Cambridge mathematician, teams up with Mlodinow, a physicist at Caltech, for a brief introduction to "the grand design" of the universe. If this project seems ambitious for a four and a half–hour audio production, it is; however, even general readers will be able to follow along as the authors guide us through M-theories, quantum mechanics, general and special relativity, and other mind-blowing cosmological discoveries of the last century. The goal of all these journeys through the history of science is to answer some basic questions: why is there a universe in the first place? What other universes may in fact be possible, given Richard Feynman's theory of multiple histories? The audio version of this book is simple and scaled down. Despite an engaging and capable performance by West End stage actor Steve West, some listeners might long for more content—diagrams or video tracks to accompany and augment the lecture.
