　　Not since Richard Feynman has a Nobel Prize-winning physicist

written with as much panache as Robert Laughlin does in this

revelatory and essential book. Laughlin proposes nothing less than

a new way of understanding fundamental laws of science. In this age

of superstring theories and Big-Bang cosmology, we're used to

thinking of the unknown as being impossibly distant from our

everyday lives. But we haven't reached the end of science, Laughlin

argues - only the end of reductionist thinking. If we consider the

world of emergent properties instead, suddenly the deepest

mysteries are as close as the nearest ice cube or grain of salt.

And he goes farther: the most fundamental laws of physics - such as

Newton's laws of motion and quantum mechanics - are in fact

emergent. They are properties of large assemblages of matter, and

when their exactness is examined too closely, it vanishes into

nothing. "A Different Universe" takes us into a universe where the

vacuum of space has to be considered a kind of solid matter, where

sound has quantized particles just like those of light, where there

are many phases of matter, not just three, and where metal

resembles a liquid while superfluid helium is more like a solid. It

is a universe teeming with natural phenomena still to be

discovered. This is a truly mind-altering book that shows readers a

surprising, exquisitely beautiful and mysterious new world.

我从我这么多年的学术活动中体会到，圣经里亚当和夏娃的故事其实是错的。不是蛇告诉夏娃去吃知识苹果，她吃了，还让亚当也吃了，结果上帝罚他们做艰苦的工作直到老死。实际情形是，亚当和夏娃在一家名为知识的中国饭店里吃了蛇，并饱餐了荔枝和幸运饼。亚当打开他的饼朗声读道：“这是宇宙的方程。你的计算很走运。”夏娃打开她的饼读道：“这个男的说的都别信。”于是便有了我们这个世界。

书籍介绍

"[An] important, brain-tickling new book.... Laughlin's thesis is intriguing." ( New York Times Book Review ) In this age of superstring theories and Big Bang cosmology, we're used to thinking of the unknown as impossibly distant from our everyday lives. But in A Different Universe , Nobel Laureate Robert Laughlin argues that the scientific frontier is right under our fingers. Instead of looking for ultimate theories, Laughlin considers the world of emergent properties-meaning the properties, such as the hardness and shape of a crystal, that result from the organization of large numbers of atoms. Laughlin shows us how the most fundamental laws of physics are in fact emergent. A Different Universe is a truly mind-bending book that shows us why everything we think about fundamental physical laws needs to change. "I started reading and, clichŽ though it be, I couldn't stop. Despite the Nobel, Laughlin has an appealing, anarchic kind of sanity, and his company through this vivid and entertaining book is inspirational. A Different Universe should be required reading for physics researchers, teachers and students." ( New Scientist ) "Peppered with his imaginative illustrations, analogies and anecdotes." ( Philadelphia Inquirer )
