语宇宙是如何形成的? 1.科学家认为它起源为137亿年前之间的一次难以置信的大爆炸。这是一次不可想像的能量大爆炸,宇宙边缘的光到达地球要花120亿年到150亿年的时间。大爆炸散发的物质在太空中漂游,由许多恒星组成的巨大的星系就是由这些物质构成的,我们的太阳就是这无数恒星中的一颗。原本人们想象宇宙会因引力而不在膨胀,但是,科学家已发现宇宙中有一种 “暗能量”会产生一种斥力而加速宇宙的膨胀。 2.宇宙学说认为,我们所观察到的宇宙,在其孕育的初期,集中于一个体积极小、温度极高、密度极大的奇点。在141亿年前左右,奇点产生后发生大爆炸,从此开始了我们所在的宇宙的诞生史。 3.宇宙大爆炸后0.01秒,宇宙的温度大约为1000亿度。物质存在的主要形式是电子、光子、中微子。以后,物质迅速扩散,温度迅速降低。大爆炸后1秒钟,下降到100亿度。大爆炸后14秒,温度约30亿度。35秒后,为3亿度,化学元素开始形成。温度不断下降,原子不断形成。宇宙间弥漫着气体云。他们在引力的作用下,形成恒星系统,恒星系统又经过漫长的演化,成为今天的宇宙。 宇宙是什么?宇宙有多大?宇宙年龄是多少? 宇宙是万物的总称,是时间和空间的统一。从最新的观测资料看,人们已观测到的离我们最远的星系是130亿光年。也就是说,如果有一束光以每秒30万千米的速度从该星系发出,那么要经过130亿年才能到达地球。根据大爆炸宇宙模型推算,宇宙年龄大约200亿年。宇宙有多少个星系?每个星系有多少颗恒星? 、反质子是带电的,不能是暗物质粒子,光子和引力子的静止质量是零,也不能是暗物质粒子。因此,在标准模型给出的62种粒子中,有可能是暗物质粒子的只有3种中微子和3种反中微子。 20世纪80年代初期,美国天文学家艾伦森发现,距我们30万光年的天龙座矮星系中,许多碳星(巨大的红星)周围存在着稳定的暗物质,即这些暗物质受到严格的束缚。高能热粒子和能量适中的暖粒子是难以束缚住的,它们会到处乱窜,只有运行很慢的“冷粒子”才能束缚住。物理学家认为那是“轴子”,它是一种非常稳定的冷“微子,质量只有电子质量的数百万分之一。这就是暗物质的轴子模型。 轴子模型是否成立,最终得由实验裁决。最近,还有人提出,暗物质可能是一种称做“宇宙弦”的弦状物质,它产生于大爆炸后的一秒期间内,直径为1万亿亿亿分之一厘米,质量密度大得惊人,每寸长约1亿亿吨。这种理论是否成立,同样有待科学家进一步研究。 为探索暗物质的秘密,世界各国的粒子物理学家正在这个领域努力工作,相信揭开暗物质神秘面纱的那一天不会太遥远了。 在引入宇宙暴涨理论之后,许多宇宙学家相信我们的宇宙是平直的,而且宇宙总能量密度必定是等于临界值的(这一临界值用于区分宇宙是封闭的还是开放的)。与此同时,宇宙学家们也倾向于一个简单的宇宙,其中能量密度都以物质的形式出现,包括4%的普通物质和96%的暗物质。但事实上,观测从来就没有与此相符合过。虽然在总物质密度的估计上存在着比较大的误差,但是这一误差还没有大到使物质的总量达到临界值,而且这一观测和理论模型之间的不一致也随着时间变得越来越尖锐。 当意识到没有足够的物质能来解释宇宙的结构及其特性时,暗能量出现了。暗能量和暗物质的唯一共同点是它们既不发光也不吸收光。从微观上讲,它们的组成是完全不同的。更重要的是,像普通的物质一样,暗物质是引力自吸引的,而且与普通物质成团并形成星系。而暗能量是引力自相斥的,并且在宇宙中几乎均匀的分布。所以,在统计星系的能量时会遗漏暗能量。因此,暗能量可以解释观测到的物质密度和由暴涨理论预言的临界密度之间70-80%的差异。之后,两个独立的天文学家小组通过对超新星的观测发现,宇宙正在加速膨胀。由此,暗能量占主导的宇宙模型成为了一个和谐的宇宙模型。最近威尔金森宇宙微波背景辐射各向异性探测器(Wilkinson Microwave Anisotrope Probe,WMAP)的观测也独立的证实了暗能量的存在,并且使它成为了标准模型的一部分。 暗能量同时也改变了我们对暗物质在宇宙中所起作用的认识。按照爱因斯坦的广义相对论,在一个仅含有物质的宇宙中,物质密度决定了宇宙的几何,以及宇宙的过去和未来。加上暗能量的话,情况就完全不同了。首先,总能量密度(物质能量密度与暗能量密度之和)决定着宇宙的几何特性。其次,宇宙已经从物质占主导的时期过渡到了暗能量占主导的时期。大约在“大爆炸”之后的几十亿年中暗物质占了总能量密度的主导地位,但是这已成为了过去。现在我们宇宙的未来将由暗能量的特性所决定,它目前正时宇宙加速膨胀,而且除非暗能量会随时间衰减或者改变状态,否则这种加速膨胀态势将持续下去。 暗物质的踪迹 暗物质是相对可见物质来说的。所谓可见物质,除发射可见光的物质外,还包括辐射红外线等其他电磁波的物质。虽然宇宙中的可见物质大部分不能用肉眼直接看到,但探测它们发出的各种电磁波就可以知道它们的存在。暗物质不辐射电磁波,但有质量。 科学家为什么会提出“暗物质”这个概念?宇宙中有没有暗物质? 在物理学中,把状态变化的“转折点”成为“临界点”,比如水变成冰,温度临界值(或者说“临界点”)为0℃。宇宙学的研究认为,宇宙中物质的平均密度,与决定宇宙是膨胀还是收缩的临界值,相差不会超过百万分之一。可是,宇宙中发可见光的恒星和星系的物质总量不到临界值的1%,加上辐射其他电磁波的天体,如行星、白矮星和黑洞等,最多也只有临界值的10%。 现已知道,宇宙的大结构呈泡沫状,星系**成“星系长城”,即泡沫的连接纤维,而纤维之间是巨大的“宇宙空洞”,即大泡泡,直径达1~3亿光年。如果没有一种看不见的暗物质的附加引力“帮忙”,这么大的空洞是不能维持的,就像屋顶和桥梁的跨度过大不能支持一样。 我们的宇宙尽管在膨胀,但高速运动中的个星系并不散开,如果仅有可见物质,它们的引力是不足以把各星系维持在一起的。 我们知道,太阳系的质量,99.86%集中在太阳系的中心即太阳上,因此,离太阳近的行星受到太阳的引力,比离太阳远的行星大,因此,离太阳近的行星绕太阳运行的速度,比离太阳远的行星快,以便产生更大的离心加速度(离心力)来平衡较大的太阳引力。但在星系中心,虽然也集中了更多的恒星,还有质量巨大的黑洞,可是,离星系中心近的恒星的运动速度,并不比离得远的恒星的运动速度快。这说明星系的质量并不集中在星系中心,在星系的外围区域一定有大量暗物质存在。 天体的亮度反应天体的质量。所以天文学家常常用星系的亮度来推算星系的质量,也可通过引力来推算星系的质量。可是,从引力推算出的银河系的质量,是从亮度推算的银河系质量的十倍以上,在外围区域甚至达五千倍。因而,在那里必然有大量暗物质存在。 那么,暗物质是些什么物质呢? 宇宙学研究发现,在宇宙大爆炸初期产生的各种基本粒子中,有一种叫做中微子的粒子不参与形成物质的核反应,也不与任何物质作用,它们一直散布在太空中,是暗物质的主要“嫌疑人”。 但中微子在1931年被提出来以后,一直被认为质量为零。这样,即使太空是中微子的海洋,也不会形成质量和引力。曾有人设想存在一种“类中微子”,它的性质与中微子类似,但有质量。可是一直没有发现“类中微子”的存在。 极小的中微子运动速度极高,可自由穿透任何物质,甚至整个地球,很难被捕找到。但中微子与物质原子和亚原子粒子碰撞时,会使他们撕裂而发出闪光。探测到这种效应就是探到了中微子。但为了避免地面上的各种因素的干扰,必须把探测装置(如带测量仪器并装有数千吨水的水箱)放在很深(如1000米)的地下。 1981年,一名苏联科学家在试验中发现中微子可能有质量。近几年,日、美科学家进一步证实中微子有质量。如果这个结论能得到最后确认,则中微子就是人们寻找的暗物质。 寻找暗物质有着重大的科学意义。如中微子确有质量,则宇宙中的物质密度将超过临界值,宇宙将终有一天转而收缩。关于宇宙是继续膨胀还是转而收缩的长久争论将尘埃落定。。

They had arrived in San Francisco, where their ship was decommissioned, and Paul bet that he would find himself a wife within two weeks. He was a taut, tattooed engine mechanic, six feet tall, with a passing resemblance to James Dean. But it wasn’t his looks that got him a date with Clara Hagopian, a sweet-humored daughter of Armenian immigrants. It was the fact that he and his friends had a car, unlike the group she had originally planned to go out with that evening. Ten days later, in March 1946, Paul got engaged to Clara and won his wager. It would turn out to be a happy marriage, one that lasted until death parted them more than forty years later. Paul Reinhold Jobs had been raised on a dairy farm in Germantown, Wisconsin. Even though his father was an alcoholic and sometimes abusive, Paul ended up with a gentle and calm disposition under his leathery exterior. After dropping out of high school, he wandered through the Midwest picking up work as a mechanic until, at age nineteen, he joined the Coast Guard, even though he didn’t know how to swim. He was deployed on the USS General M. C. Meigs and spent much of the war ferrying troops to Italy for General Patton. His talent as a machinist and fireman earned him commendations, but he occasionally found himself in minor trouble and never rose above the rank of seaman. Clara was born in New Jersey, where her parents had landed after fleeing the Turks in Armenia, and they moved to the Mission District of San Francisco when she was a child. She had a secret that she rarely mentioned to anyone: She had been married before, but her husband had been killed in the war. So when she met Paul Jobs on that first date, she was primed to start a new life. Clara, however, loved San Francisco, and in 1952 she convinced her husband to move back there. They got an apartment in the Sunset District facing the Pacific, just south of Golden Gate Park, and he took a job working for a finance company as a “repo man,” picking the locks of cars whose owners hadn’t paid their loans and repossessing them. He also bought, repaired, and sold some of the cars, making a decent enough living in the process. There was, however, something missing in their lives. They wanted children, but Clara had suffered an ectopic pregnancy, in which the fertilized egg was implanted in a fallopian tube rather than the uterus, and she had been unable to have any. So by 1955, after nine years of marriage, they were looking to adopt a child. Like Paul Jobs, Joanne Schieble was from a rural Wisconsin family of German heritage. Her father, Arthur Schieble, had immigrated to the outskirts of Green Bay, where he and his wife owned a mink farm and dabbled successfully in various other businesses, including real estate and photoengraving. He was very strict, especially regarding his daughter’s relationships, and he had strongly disapproved of her first love, an artist who was not a Catholic. Thus it was no surprise that he threatened to cut Joanne off completely when, as a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin, she fell in love with Abdulfattah “John” Jandali, a Muslim teaching assistant from Syria. Jandali was the youngest of nine children in a prominent Syrian family. His father owned oil refineries and multiple other businesses, with large holdings in Damascus and Homs, and at one point pretty much controlled the price of wheat in the region.

Arthur Schieble died in August 1955, after the adoption was finalized. Just after Christmas that year, Joanne and Abdulfattah were married in St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church in Green Bay. He got his PhD in international politics the next year, and then they had another child, a girl named Mona. After she and Jandali divorced in 1962, Joanne embarked on a dreamy and peripatetic life that her daughter, who grew up to become the acclaimed novelist Mona Simpson, would capture in her book Anywhere but Here. Because Steve’s adoption had been closed, it would be twenty years before they would all find each other. Steve Jobs knew from an early age that he was adopted. “My parents were very open with me about that,” he recalled. He had a vivid memory of sitting on the lawn of his house, when he was six or seven years old, telling the girl who lived across the street. “So does that mean your real parents didn’t want you?” the girl asked. “Lightning bolts went off in my head,” according to Jobs. “I remember running into the house, crying. And my parents said, ‘No, you have to understand.’ They were very serious and looked me straight in the eye. They said, ‘We specifically picked you out.’ Both of my parents said that and repeated it slowly for me. And they put an emphasis on every word in that sentence.” Abandoned. Chosen. Special. Those concepts became part of who Jobs was and how he regarded himself. His closest friends think that the knowledge that he was given up at birth left some scars. “I think his desire for complete control of whatever he makes derives directly from his personality and the fact that he was abandoned at birth,” said one longtime colleague, Del Yocam. “He wants to control his environment, and he sees the product as an extension of himself.” Greg Calhoun, who became close to Jobs right after college, saw another effect. “Steve talked to me a lot about being abandoned and the pain that caused,” he said. “It made him independent. He followed the beat of a different drummer, and that came from being in a different world than he was born into.” Later in life, when he was the same age his biological father had been when he abandoned him, Jobs would father and abandon a child of his own. (He eventually took responsibility for her.) Chrisann Brennan, the mother of that child, said that being put up for adoption left Jobs “full of broken glass,” and it helps to explain some of his behavior. “He who is abandoned is an abandoner,” she said. Andy Hertzfeld, who worked with Jobs at Apple in the early 1980s, is among the few who remained close to both Brennan and Jobs. “The key question about Steve is why he can’t control himself at times from being so reflexively cruel and harmful to some people,” he said. “That goes back to being abandoned at birth. The real underlying problem was the theme of abandonment in Steve’s life.” Jobs dismissed this. “There’s some notion that because I was abandoned, I worked very hard so I could do well and make my parents wish they had me back, or some such nonsense, but that’s ridiculous,” he insisted. “Knowing I was adopted may have made me feel more independent, but I have never felt abandoned. I’ve always felt special. My parents made me feel special.” He would later bristle whenever anyone referred to Paul and Clara Jobs as his “adoptive” parents or implied that they were not his “real” parents. “They were my parents 1,000%,” he said. When speaking about his biological parents, on the other hand, he was curt: “They were my sperm and egg bank. That’s not harsh, it’s just the way it was, a sperm bank thing, nothing more.” Silicon Valley The childhood that Paul and Clara Jobs created for their new son was, in many ways, a stereotype of the late 1950s. When Steve was two they adopted a girl they named Patty, and three years later they moved to a tract house in the suburbs. The finance company where Paul worked as a repo man, CIT, had transferred him down to its Palo Alto office, but he could not afford to live there, so they landed in a subdivision in Mountain View, a less expensive town just to the south. There Paul tried to pass along his love of mechanics and cars. “Steve, this is your workbench now,” he said as he marked off a section of the table in their garage. Jobs remembered being impressed by his father’s focus on craftsmanship. “I thought my dad’s sense of design was pretty good,” he said, “because he knew how to build anything. If we needed a cabinet, he would build it. When he built our fence, he gave me a hammer so I could work with him.” Fifty years later the fence still surrounds the back and side yards of the house in Mountain View. As Jobs showed it off to me, he caressed the stockade panels and recalled a lesson that his father implanted deeply in him. It was important, his father said, to craft the backs of cabinets and fences properly, even though they were hidden. “He loved doing things right. He even cared about the look of the parts you couldn’t see.” His father continued to refurbish and resell used cars, and he festooned the garage with pictures of his favorites. He would point out the detailing of the design to his son: the lines, the vents, the chrome, the trim of the seats. After work each day, he would change into his dungarees and retreat to the garage, often with Steve tagging along. “I figured I could get him nailed down with a little mechanical ability, but he really wasn’t interested in getting his hands dirty,” Paul later recalled. “He never really cared too much about m189.

One day when he was about eight, he discovered a photograph of his father from his time in the Coast Guard. “He’s in the engine room, and he’s got his shirt off and looks like James Dean. It was one of those Oh wow moments for a kid. Wow, oooh, my parents were actually once very young and really good-looking.” Through cars, his father gave Steve his first exposure to electronics. “My dad did not have a deep understanding of electronics, but he’d encountered it a lot in automobiles and other things he would fix. He showed me the rudiments of electronics, and I got very interested in that.” Even more interesting were the trips to scavenge for parts. “Every weekend, there’d be a junkyard trip. We’d be looking for a generator, a carburetor, all sorts of components.” He remembered watching his father negotiate at the counter. “He was a good bargainer, because he knew better than the guys at the counter what the parts should cost.” This helped fulfill the pledge his parents made when he was adopted. “My college fund came from my dad paying $50 for a Ford Falcon or some other beat-up car that didn’t run, working on it for a few weeks, and selling it for $250—and not telling the IRS.” The Jobses’ house and the others in their neighborhood were built by the real estate developer Joseph Eichler, whose company spawned more than eleven thousand homes in various California subdivisions between 1950 and 1974. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s vision of simple modern homes for the American “everyman,” Eichler built inexpensive houses that featured floor-to-ceiling glass walls, open floor plans, exposed post-and-beam construction, concrete slab floors, and lots of sliding glass doors. “Eichler did a great thing,” Jobs said on one of our walks around the neighborhood. “His houses were smart and cheap and good. They brought clean design and simple taste to lower-income people. They had awesome little features, like radiant heating in the floors. You put carpet on them, and we had nice toasty floors when we were kids.” Jobs said that his appreciation for Eichler homes instilled in him a passion for making nicely designed products for the mass market. “I love it when you can bring really great design and simple capability to something that doesn’t cost much,” he said as he pointed out the clean elegance of the houses. “It was the original vision for Apple. That’s what we tried to do with the first Mac. That’s what we did with the iPod.” Across the street from the Jobs family lived a man who had become successful as a real estate agent. “He wasn’t that bright,” Jobs recalled, “but he seemed to be making a fortune. So my dad thought, ‘I can do that.’ He worked so hard, I remember. He took these night classes, passed the license test, and got into real estate. Then the bottom fell out of the market.” As a result, the family found itself financially strapped for a year or so while Steve was in elementary school. His mother took a job as a bookkeeper for Varian Associates, a company that made scientific instruments, and they took out a second mortgage. One day his fourth-grade teacher asked him, “What is it you don’t understand about the universe?” Jobs replied, “I don’t understand why all of a sudden my dad is so broke.” He was proud that his father never adopted a servile attitude or slick style that may have made him a better salesman. “You had to suck up to people to sell real estate, and he wasn’t good at that and it wasn’t in his nature. I admired him for that.” Paul Jobs went back to being a mechanic. His father was calm and gentle, traits that his son later praised more than emulated. He was also resolute. Jobs described one exampl What made the neighborhood different from the thousands of other spindly-tree subdivisions across America was that even the ne’er-do-wells tended to be engineers. “When we moved here, there were apricot and plum orchards on all of these corners,” Jobs recalled. “But it was beginning to boom because of military investment.” He soaked up the history of the valley and developed a yearning to play his own role. Edwin Land of Polaroid later told him about being asked by Eisenhower to help build the U-2 spy plane cameras to see how real the Soviet threat was. The film was dropped in canisters and returned to the NASA Ames Research Center in Sunnyvale, not far from where Jobs lived. “The first computer terminal I ever saw was when my dad brought me to the Ames Center,” he said. “I fell totally in love with it.” Other defense contractors sprouted nearby during the 1950s. The Lockheed Missiles and Space Division, which built submarine-launched ballistic missiles, was founded in 1956 next to the NASA Center; by the time Jobs moved to the area four years later, it employed twenty thousand people. A few hundred yards away, Westinghouse built facilities that produced tubes and electrical transformers for the missile systems. “You had all these military companies on the cutting edge,” he recalled. “It was mysterious and high-tech and made living here very exciting.” In the wake of the defense industries there arose a booming economy based on technology. Its roots stretched back to 1938, when David Packard and his new wife moved into a house in Palo Alto that had a shed where his friend Bill Hewlett was soon ensconced. The house had a garage—an appendage that would prove both useful and iconic in the valley—in which they tinkered around until they had their first product, an audio oscillator. By the 1950s, Hewlett-Packard was a fast-growing company making technical instruments. Fortunately there was a place nearby for entrepreneurs who had outgrown their garages. In a move that would help transform the area into the cradle of the tech revolution, Stanford University’s dean of engineering, Frederick Terman, created a seven-hundred-acre industrial park on university land for private companies that could commercialize the ideas of his students. Its first tenant was Varian Associates, where Clara Jobs worked. “Terman came up with this great idea that did more than anything to cause the tech industry to grow up here,” Jobs said. By the time Jobs was ten, HP had nine thousand employees and was the blue-chip company where every engineer seeking financial stability wanted to work. The most important technology for the region’s growth was, of course, the semiconductor. William Shockley, who had been one of the inventors of the transistor at Bell Labs in New Jersey, moved out to Mountain View and, in 1956, started a company to build transistors using silicon rather than the more expensive germanium that was then commonly used. But Shockley became increasingly erratic and abandoned his silicon transistor project, which led eight of his engineers—most notably Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore—to break away to form Fairchild Semiconductor. That company grew to twelve thousand employees, but it fragmented in 1968, when Noyce lost a power struggle to become CEO. He took Gordon Moore and founded a company that they called Integrated Electronics Corporation, which they soon smartly abbreviated to Intel. Their third employee was Andrew Grove, who later would grow the company by shifting its focus from memory chips to microprocessors. Within a few years there would be more than fifty companies in the area making semiconductors. The exponential growth of this industry was correlated with the phenomenon famously discovered by Moore, who in 1965 drew a graph of the speed of integrated circuits, based on the number of transistors that could be placed on a chip, and showed that it doubled about every two years, a trajectory that could be expected to continue. This was reaffirmed in 1971, when Intel was able to etch a complete central processing unit onto one chip, the Intel 4004, tronic amplifier. “So I raced home, and I told my dad that he was wrong.” “No, it needs an amplifier,” his father assured him. When Steve protested otherwise, his father said he was crazy. “It can’t work without an amplifier. There’s some trick.” “I kept saying no to my dad, telling him he had to see it, and finally he actually walked down with me and saw it. And he said, ‘Well I’ll be a bat out of hell.’” Jobs recalled the incident vividly because it was his first realization that his father did not know everything. Then a more disconcerting discovery began to dawn on him: He was smarter than his parents. He had always admired his father’s competence and savvy. “He was not an educated man, but I had always thought he was pretty damn smart. He didn’t read much, but he could do a lot. Almost everything mechanical, he could figure it out.” Yet the carbon microphone incident, Jobs said, began a jarring process of realizing that he was in fact more clever and quick than his parents. “It was a very big moment that’s burned into my mind. When I realized that I was smarter than my parents, I felt tremendous shame for having thought that. I will never forget that moment.” This discovery, he later told friends, along with the fact that he was adopted, made him feel apart—detached and separate—from both his family and the world. Another layer of awareness occurred soon after. Not only did he discover that he was brighter than his parents, but he discovered that they knew this. Paul and Clara Jobs were loving parents, and they were willing to adapt their lives to suit a son who was very smart—and also willful. They would go to great lengths to accommodate him. And soon Steve discovered this fact as well. “Both my parents got me. They felt a lot of responsibility once they sensed that I was special. They found ways to keep feeding me stuff and putting me in better schools. They were willing to defer to my needs.” So he grew up not only with a sense of having once been abandoned, but also with a sense that he was special. In his own mind, that was more important in the formation of his personality.丁堡的宗教会议上公开谴责德意志封建主与天主教会对捷克的压迫和剥削。他虽然被反动教会处以火刑,但他的革命活动在社会上引起了强烈的反应。捷克农民在胡斯党人的旗帜下举行起义,这次运动也波及波兰。1517年,在德国,马丁·路捷克农民在胡斯党人的旗帜下举行起义,这次运动也波及波兰。1517年,在德国,马丁·路德(1483~1546年)反对教会贩卖赎罪符,与罗马教皇公开决裂。1521年,路德又在沃尔姆国会上揭露罗马教廷的罪恶,并提出建立基督教新教的主张。新教的教义得到许多
