内容介绍：

英国著名科学家史蒂芬·霍金（Stephen Hawking）日前声称，现代物理学发现表明上帝与宇宙的形成没有任何关係。

霍金和美国物理学家Leonard Mlodinow 於9日推出新著作《大设计》（Great Design）。

这本书的推出将挑战牛顿的理论“如此精确的宇宙肯定有一位设计者，所有一切不可能从混乱中来”。

霍金和Mlodinow在书中否认了上帝的干预，认为新的科学证明超自然创造理论是多餘的，宇宙的形成只是物理法则的必然产物。

霍金在今天出版的伦敦日报中写道“因为宇宙有自身的法则，比如万有引力，宇宙本身可以从无到有，不需要假借外力，包括上帝”。

霍金曾经相信神创论与科学并不矛盾。

他曾在1989年出版的《时间简史》中表示，并不排除上帝创造宇宙的可能。

“如果我们能发现一套完整的理论，解释我们与宇宙存在的原因，那将是人类理性的终极胜利，因为届时我们能够知道上帝的心意。”霍金在书中表示。

霍金的转变被很多人认为是对上帝的不敬。

When and how did the universe begin? Why are we here? What is the nature of reality? Is the apparent 'grand design' of our universe evidence for a benevolent creator who set things in motion? Or does science offer another explanation? In "The Grand Design", the most recent scientific thinking about the mysteries of the universe is presented, in language marked by both brilliance and simplicity. "The Grand Design" explains the latest thoughts about model-dependent realism (the idea that there is no one version of reality), and about the multiverse concept of reality in which there are many universes. There are new ideas about the top-down theory of cosmology (the idea that there is no one history of the universe, but that every possible history exists). It concludes with a riveting assessment of m-theory, and discusses whether it is the unified theory Einstein spent a lifetime searching for. This is the first major work in nearly a decade by one of the world's greatest thinkers. A succinct, startling and lavishly illustrated guide to discoveries that are altering our understanding and threatening some of our most cherished belief systems, "The Grand Design" is a book that will inform - and provoke - like no other.
