书籍介绍(英文)
Over the last decade the physics of black holes has been revolutionized by developments that grew out of Jacob Bekenstein s realization that black holes have entropy. Stephen Hawking raised profound issues concerning the loss of information in black hole evaporation and the consistency of quantum mechanics in a world with gravity. For two decades these questions puzzled theoretical physicists and eventually led to a revolution in the way we think about space, time, matter and information. This revolution has culminated in a remarkable principle called The Holographic Principle , which is now a major focus of attention in gravitational research, quantum field theory and elementary particle physics. Leonard Susskind, one of the co-inventors of the Holographic Principle as well as one of the founders of String theory, develops and explains these concepts.
在过去的十年中,黑洞物理事态发展,已成长了雅各柏肯斯坦革命性的实现ASEAN黑洞具有熵。斯蒂芬霍金提出了与世界的深刻问题的严重性关于在黑洞蒸发的信息损失和量子力学的一致性。 20年来这些问题困扰的理论物理学家,并最终导致了革命的道路,我们认为关于空间,时间,物质和信息。这场革命已经在显着所谓的全息原理原则,这是现在在重力研究讨论的焦点,最终,量子场论和基本粒子物理学。伦纳德萨斯坎德,在共同发明的全息原理,以及对弦理论的奠基人之一,一发展,并解释了这些概念。

作者简介
李奥纳特·苏士侃(Leonard Susskind)是美国理论物理学家,美国斯坦福大学教授,弦论的创始人之一,他和其所领导的研究小组并提出宇宙的发展需要一外在的力量(agent)来参与而非自身发展的看法。
弦理论的雏形是在1968年由Gabriele Veneziano 发现。他原本是要找能描述原子核内的强作用力的数学公式,然后在一本老旧的数学书里找到了有200年之久的欧拉公式(Euler's Function),这公式能够成功的描述他所要求解的强作用力。然而进一步将这公式理解为一小段类似橡皮筋那样可扭曲抖动的有弹性的“线段”却是在不久后由Leonard Susskind(李奥纳特·苏士侃)所发现,这在日后则发展出“弦理论”。
