《白洞》【内容简介】

　　从已被证实的疯狂想法——黑洞，

　　到尚在推测中的疯狂想法——白洞

　　在《白洞》中，罗韦利邀请你展开一段不可思议的旅程，进入黑洞内部。我们经过黑洞的中心，绕开恒星的残骸，来到时间与空间终结之处——白洞诞生的地方。白洞是黑洞的反演？从黑洞进去的东西会从白洞出来？跨过奇点，越过时间的尽头，会发生什么？

　　视角的差异、时间的弹性、因果关系的本质……为什么我们记得过去，而非未来？为什么我们觉得自己能决定未来，而非过去？在《白洞》中，罗韦利的讲述比《时间的秩序》更进一步，再一次颠覆你的直觉。

"White Cave" 【 Content Introduction 】

From the crazy, proven idea of black holes,

To the crazy idea that is still being speculated - the white hole

In The White Hole, Rovelli invites you on an incredible journey into the interior of a black hole. We pass through the heart of the black hole, bypassing the remnants of stars, to the end of time and space, where the white hole was born. Is a white hole an inversion of a black hole? What goes into a black hole comes out of a white hole? Beyond the singularity, beyond the end of time, what happens?

Differences in perspective, the elasticity of time, the nature of causation... Why do we remember the past and not the future? Why do we think we decide the future and not the past? In "The White Hole," Rovelli goes further than "The Order of Time" and subverts your intuition once again.

About the author

Carlo Rovelli is an Italian theoretical physicist and one of the founders of the theory of loop quantum gravity. He has worked in the United States and Italy, and now leads the quantum gravity research group in France. He is the author of the best-selling popular science works "Seven Lessons in Minimalist Physics", "Reality is Not What You See", "The Birth of Science" and so on. Rovelli amazed the world with his concise, poetic and passionate popular science narration, known as "the man who made physics sexy, the next Stephen Hawking."
