The Number One bestselling author of The Order of Time is back with a stunning book about the enigma of quantum physics.
Carlo Rovelli is a theoretical physicist who has made significant contributions to the physics of space and time. He has worked in Italy and the US, and is currently directing the quantum gravity research group of the Centre de physique theorique in Marseille, France. His books Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, Helgoland, Reality Is Not What It Seems and The Order of Time are international bestsellers which have been translated into forty-three languages.
Popular science has rarely been so good
*Prospect*
The greatest populariser of physics today. . . We are left in a
world that is not disenchanted by science, but even more magical. A
triumph
*Financial Times*
Theoretical physics often feels rather mystical. This mind-bending,
lively book by the bestselling physicist Carlo Rovelli reinforces
that other-wordly feeling. . . unforgettable
*The Times*
Rovelli is often called the poet of physics. He writes elegant,
wondering, enlarging books on time and quantum theory, much in the
spirit of a priest bringing the word of God to his congregation,
and I've found it good for my soul to be confronted with how little
I understand the world and everything in it
*Guardian*
One of the warmest, most elegant and most lucid interpreters of the
dazzling enigmas of his discipline. . . A momentous book
*Wall Street Journal*
His most beautiful book yet. . . leaves an unforgettable impression
of its author as a man struggling at the furthest limits of human
comprehension
*The Times*
A deep-thinking, restlessly inquiring spirit. . . His books
continue a tradition of popular scientific writing from Galileo to
Darwin that disappeared in the academic specialisations of the past
century
*Observer*
Another brilliant book by Rovelli. . . You'll have fun
*Financial Times*
If anyone can make sense of the topsy-turvy, counterintuitive world
of quantum physics, it is Carlo Rovelli, the most poetically minded
of today's science communicators
*The Times*
A remarkably wide-ranging new meditation on quantum theory. . .
With the light touch of a skilled storyteller. . . Rovelli is not
afraid to mix quantum physics and eastern philosophy
*Guardian*
