推荐书目

有关空间与时间这一问题,无论是一般性文献还是专业性文献数目都非常巨大。下面所列出的这些参考文献大都适合一般读者阅读,但其中也有少量文献要求读者有一定的知识储备。就我个人而言,这些文献都是大有裨益的,相信对于那些渴望进一步探索本书中所提到的各种理论进展的读者也能起到很好的引路作用。注47

注47:在面包条上任选一点。取一片包含了该点的切片,使其与我们的现在时间片相交的角度小于45度。这个切片将代表一位远方的观测者的现在时间片——他对实在性的认识。开始时他相对于我们静止,就像丘巴卡,但现在以小于光速的速度相对于我们运动。而且我们可以使该切片包含你碰巧选取的面包中的那点(可以为任意的点)。专业读者会意识到我把时空假设为闵科夫斯基时空。其他几何学中类似的论证不一定会适用于整个时空。
