Two decades in the making, this long-awaited work from one of the world's most respected scientists presents a series of dramatic discoveries never before made public. Starting from a collection of simple computer experiments--illustrated in the book by striking computer graphics--Wolfram shows how their unexpected results force a whole new way of looking at the operation of our universe.
Wolfram uses his approach to tackle a remarkable array of fundamental problems in science: from the origin of the Second Law of Thermodynamics to the development of complexity in biology, the computational limitations of mathematics, the possibility of a truly fundamental theory of physics, and the interplay between free will and determinism.
Written with exceptional clarity and illustrated by more than a thousand original pictures, this seminal book allows scientists and nonscientists alike to participate in what promises to be a major intellectual revolution.

陈陈01-25在图书馆找到了这本书，一千多页。但不难发现其核心思想（在书中反复被强调）：宇宙的一切过程都遵循非常简单的运算，而且这个运算很可能就是某种元胞自动机。总之，一切的奥秘也许就起源于类似的简单规则。作者使用了很强的语气，例如“我强烈认为”，“我强烈怀疑”。可惜除了一些令人印象深刻的例子外，并没有给出强有力的证据。因为专业原因，主要关注元胞自动机在流体力学中应用，而书中对这一部分只是给出非常简单的定性的例子，并未讨论如何（为什么无法）给出定量的精确描述。然而，一些大胆的观念和对传统科学方法（尤其数学）批判的态度还是很有启发性
