"From One to Infinity" is George Gamow's masterpiece and one of the classic works of natural science. It has directly influenced many scientific research and science popularization workers and is a time-honored introductory book on natural science.
This book introduces in vivid language the basic achievements and cutting-edge progress of natural science since the 20th century. The book first talks about some basic mathematical knowledge, and then uses some interesting metaphors to explain Einstein's theory of relativity and the four-dimensional space-time structure, and discusses human beings' achievements in understanding the microscopic world (such as elementary particles, genes) and the macroscopic world (such as the solar system, galaxies, etc.).
Reader comments
I read the first chapter, but of course I didn't read it very carefully. I'm in my second year of high school now. It should be good to read the first chapter for this grade. It talks about imaginary numbers and so on, and it also gave me a better understanding of imaginary numbers, so that I won't be confused when I talk about it next month. It's very interesting, and it's definitely worth reading word for word. Of course, just like the name, I am a layman. Although I am the best in mathematics and am the most interested in mathematics, it is really difficult to stick to it during the winter vacation. It may be that there is nothing that touches me. I hope it will change when I read it next time, maybe.
This book tells the history of natural science. Not only the author of this book but also the translator of this book jointly interpreted this book "From One to Infinity".
In the face of mathematical knowledge, this may give countless people a headache, thinking that this is a very profound subject that is difficult for us to understand, and even more difficult to learn. This book just talks about some basic mathematical knowledge, and then uses some interesting metaphors to explain Einstein's theory of relativity and the four-dimensional space-time structure, using some interesting language It allows us to better understand. This book is the representative work of George Gamow and one of the classic works of natural science. This book has been of great help to many scientific researchers who love mathematics and are engaged in mathematics-related industries. If you are interested in mathematical research, then this book is worth reading and will be of great help to you.
This book is great! It explains many complex scientific concepts in easy-to-understand language, so that even a science novice like me can easily understand it. I especially like the part where the author uses interesting metaphors to explain the theory of relativity and the structure of four-dimensional space-time. It's simply wonderful! Moreover, the content in the book is very rich, from the micro world to the macro world, which opened my eyes. Just like the book says "it's time", I think everyone should read this book and start a journey of exploration into the world of science!
For a liberal arts student and social science researcher, many of the natural science theories involved in this book are indeed a bit difficult to understand. However, a large part of the reason why I chose to read it is that I believe that the author's humble character and plain and simple language can bring a feast of scientific knowledge to non-natural science researchers. In fact, this book has indeed done this. Our world presents different forms of distribution from micro to macro, but it seems to be somewhat similar to the golden mean that we Chinese have always advocated. Although the world at these two ends has a great impact on human society, it is not always easy for us to directly see and pry into its mysteries. Thanks to the help of this book, we can have a glimpse of the true face of the world.
There are many very interesting phenomena and understandings in modern science, such as how the universe was created, what is the relationship between stars and the sun, why the universe is infinite, whether there is any boundary, and why the universe keeps expanding. These questions will arouse our curiosity and let us understand that sometimes the world is unknown, and those parts that are not known to us, or have not yet been known to us, are what we need to understand and be curious about most, and they are also areas worth exploring.
Very cool, even though I can't understand it
After a quick look, I can't comment on this book
This book is an interesting entry-level popular science book. The author explains the basic knowledge of mathematics and physics in easy-to-understand language, and covers various fields from the microscopic world to the macroscopic world. This book explains Einstein's theory of relativity and the four-dimensional space-time structure, elementary particles, genes, solar systems, galaxies and many other topics. It uses humorous metaphors and illustrations to make it easier for readers to understand these complex concepts. At the same time, this book also emphasizes the importance of scientific methods and helps people establish scientific literacy. The content of the book is easy to understand, with pictures and texts, and is suitable for beginners or those of us who are interested in science.
Awesome, it completely overturned my understanding
The comparison method of infinity is really interesting
Saw it over 50 years ago. I still like it when I see it today.

It's okay, there's something.
Popular science knowledge suitable for reading,
Luckily, I have the physical book.
