人類離開地球後的未來

內容簡介

內容簡介 冠軍科普暢銷書作家加來道雄將目光投向未來，以物理學解析實現移居火星及星際旅行的未來過去將人類文明遷移到其他星球一直是科幻小說最熱愛的主題，如今這已成為科學上可實現，且必須要達成的偉大目標。不久的將來，地球即將面臨氣候變化及有限資源不斷消耗殆盡，或在遙遠未來可能發生的災難性宇宙事件，我們都要面對人類某天必須離開地球尋求新棲息地的事實。世界知名物理學及未來學家加來道雄在他的新作中，以豐富的科學知識及易理解的細節，探討人類遠離地球尋求第二居住地的過程，在其他星球推廣可永續發展的文明。加來道雄分析許多尖端未來科技，例如機器人、奈米技術及生物技術皆能為人類將火星打造為可居住的城市，搭乘微小宇宙太空船以光速穿越太陽系，抵達最近的星球，遨遊在銀河系之間。或許有朝一日人類能追求永生，脫離肉身後將靈魂傳送到宇宙中的新天堂。加來道雄將以無比的熱情，帶領讀者走入一趟迷人的太空之旅，走向未來，在浩瀚宇宙中發展新契機。The #1 bestselling author of The Future of the Mind traverses the frontiers of astrophysics, artificial intelligence, and technology to offer a stunning vision of man's future in space, from settling Mars to traveling to distant galaxies.Formerly the domain of fiction, moving human civilization to the stars is increasingly becoming a scientific possibility--and a necessity. Whether in the near future due to climate change and the depletion of finite resources, or in the distant future due to catastrophic cosmological events, we must face the reality that humans will one day need to leave planet Earth to survive as a species. World-renowned physicist and futurist Michio Kaku explores in rich, intimate detail the process by which humanity may gradually move away from the planet and develop a sustainable civilization in outer space. He reveals how cutting-edge developments in robotics, nanotechnology, and biotechnology may allow us to terraform and build habitable cities on Mars. He then takes us beyond the solar system to nearby stars, which may soon be reached by nanoships traveling on laser beams at near the speed of light. Finally, he brings us beyond our galaxy, and even beyond our universe, to the possibility of immortality, showing us how humans may someday be able to leave our bodies entirely and laser port to new havens in space. With irrepressible enthusiasm and wonder, Dr. Kaku takes readers on a fascinating journey to a future in which humanity may finally fulfill its long-awaited destiny among the stars.
