书籍介绍

Cass has stumbled on something that might be an entirely different type of physics, and she's travelled three hundred and fifty light-years to Mimosa Station, a remote experimental facility, to test her theory. The novo-vacuum she creates is predicted to begin decaying the instant it's created, but even so short-lived a microscopic speck could shed new light on the origins of the universe. But instead of decaying, Cass's novo-vacuum is wildly successful and begins expanding, slowly but inexorably taking over the universe ...SCHILD'S LADDER: a wild ride through the far future by one of the world's most respected and acclaimed writers.

将量子力学和相对论完美结合后的次世代人类,已完全接受思维信息传送/再造躯体的星际旅行方式;那时候,最浪漫的爱情信物,是给对方证出一条全新数学定理。为挑战发现新的物理机制,人类在宇宙最偏远地带设立高能实验室,利用某种矢量对冲产生绝对真空,其中的无数量子可能性失控延拓,吞噬大半可见世界;人类保守派中的达尔文主义分支(黑暗森林主义?)欲用普朗克虫洞武力对抗侵蚀,主流的理性科研派欲从危机中探求新知;当探针在绝对真空中获取到代表智能生命存在的信号时,两派冲突一触即发。Schild's Ladder,是为固定矢量移动的数学方法,但同一矢量在曲面上若沿不同路径位移,将难以于路径交点重合;拥有儿时共同秘密的男女主角,数千年后持着敌对立场,于世界存在与毁灭的边缘再度相会……
