好書導讀 | EP009 時間簡史: 時間會彎曲會變慢　你以為的公平根本不存在

二十一歲那年，史蒂芬霍金被告知只剩兩年生命。他活了超過五十年，用僅剩能動的肌肉，向全世界講完了宇宙的秘密。這集Jenny要聊的，是他最著名的作品，時間簡史。 我們一輩子相信時間對每個人都公平，相信凡事必有起因，必有一個更早的答案在等我們。但霍金告訴我們，宇宙的時間可能有一個起點，而問起點之前發生了什麼事，可能就像問北極的北邊是哪裡一樣，是一個問錯方向的問題。 這集Jenny會說她真正認同的地方，也會說她不完全認同的地方，包括她怎麼用這個洞見，重新看待自己人生裡一個困住她很久的問題。 如果你也曾經在某個問題裡打轉很久，卻始終找不到答案，這集或許能給你一個新的方向。 At twenty one, Stephen Hawking was told he had two years left to live. He lived more than fifty, using only the muscles he had left to explain the secrets of the universe to the entire world. This episode, Jenny is talking about his most famous book, A Brief History of Time. We grow up believing time treats everyone fairly, and that every event must have a cause, an earlier answer waiting somewhere further back. Hawking suggests something different. The universe's time may have had a beginning, and asking what came before it may be a question shaped exactly like asking what lies north of the North Pole. Not unanswered. Simply asked in a direction that was never going to lead anywhere. In this episode, Jenny shares what she truly agrees with, and just as importantly, where she does not fully agree, including how this single idea helped her finally let go of a question that had trapped her for years. If there is a question you have been circling for a long time without ever finding your way to an answer, this episode might offer you a new direction to look in. Powered by Firstory Hosting
