Quantum Gravity Journey for All
The scientist they're calling the next Stephen Hawking, "the man who makes physics sexy . . ." —The Times Magazine
From the forthcoming Helgoland, The Order of Time, and the New York Times–bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, a closer look at the mind-bending nature of the universe.
As theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli leads us on a wondrous journey from Democritus to Einstein, from Michael Faraday to gravitational waves, and from classical physics to his own work in quantum gravity, he invites us to imagine a marvelous world where space breaks up into tiny grains, time disappears at the smallest scales, and black holes are waiting to explode—a vast universe still largely undiscovered.
In elegant and accessible prose, Rovelli offers deeper explanations of the theories he introduced so concisely in Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, revealing how the idea of reality has evolved over time. What are the elementary ingredients of the world? Do time and space exist? And what exactly is reality?
Rovelli's work explores these fundamental questions, delving into the nature of the universe and the very essence of our existence. Through his captivating narrative, we are transported from the foundations of classical physics to the cutting edge of modern quantum gravity, uncovering the fascinating complexities that underlie our understanding of the physical world.
Combining his deep scientific expertise with a gift for clear and engaging communication, Rovelli invites the reader to embark on a journey of discovery that challenges our preconceptions and expands the boundaries of our knowledge. From the ancient Greek philosophers to the revolutionary insights of contemporary theoretical physics, this work presents a comprehensive and illuminating exploration of the evolving landscape of reality.
Whether you are a scientist seeking a deeper understanding of the latest advancements, or a curious reader eager to explore the mysteries of the universe, Rovelli's writing offers a compelling and accessible invitation to contemplate the nature of our existence. Prepare to be captivated by a vast and awe-inspiring world that is still waiting to be fully uncovered and understood.
