《宇宙奥德赛：宇宙起源》：王爽著；清华大学出版社 出版。 6年前，清华大学出版社在深圳举办《宇宙奥德赛》系列新书发布会。中午吃饭的时候，我见到了一位 我仰慕已久的同行前辈——《上帝掷骰子吗：量子物理史话》的作者曹天元。 《上帝掷骰子吗：量子物理史话》在国内图书市场的总销量，仅次于霍金的《时间简史》。相信有不少 读者都和当年的我一样好奇：作为一个非物理学专业出身的科学爱好者，曹天元是怎么创作出这部科普 大作的？ 这本《宇宙奥德赛》第四部，是我用"故事驱动"取代"知识驱动"的一次努力。本书将从宇宙创生的时刻 出发，在时间之河中顺流而下，一直旅行到宇宙诞生后的38万年，介绍关于宇宙起源3个最重要的主 题：暴胀、宇宙大爆炸和宇宙微波背景。每个主题都包含10篇科普文章，共计30篇文章。 基于"故事驱动"的逻辑架构，本书详细介绍了宇宙学学派的两场"战争"。第一场"战争"主角是暴胀学 派，通过讲述一个充满背叛和复仇的真实故事，介绍4位理论宇宙学家过去40年间的"龙争虎斗"。第二 场"战争"主角是宇宙大爆炸学派，科普宇宙大爆炸理论如何被3次"打入冷宫"，又如何一步步登上科学 神坛，进而呈现与之相关的6位著名科学家的传奇人生。 ...

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the phenomenon of superficial mourning for celebrities in the age of social media, highlighting the contrast between ritualized public expressions of grief and the lack of deep personal connection to the individuals being mourned [4][5][6]. Group 1: Social Media and Mourning - Social media has transformed mourning into a performative act, where expressions of grief often serve more to enhance personal identity than to genuinely honor the deceased [5][6]. - The concept of "interactive ritual chains" explains how collective mourning creates a temporary sense of belonging among users, but often lacks true emotional depth [5][6]. Group 2: Impact on Understanding - The trend of consuming information in bite-sized formats leads to a superficial understanding of significant figures, reducing complex individuals to mere labels or symbols [7][8][9]. - This shallow engagement with knowledge results in a broader societal issue where deep thinking and understanding are increasingly rare [9][10]. Group 3: Potential Positive Outcomes - Despite the superficiality, sharing posts about notable figures can raise awareness and potentially encourage deeper exploration of their work in the future [12][15]. - The act of mourning may reflect a collective yearning for values and qualities embodied by these figures, suggesting a deeper societal aspiration [14][16].
