![]() With his extraordinary charm and sense of wonder, bringing together science, philosophy and art, Carlo Rovelli unravels this mystery, inviting us to imagine a world where time is in us and we are not in time. Time flows at a different speed in different places, the past and the future differ far less than we might think, and the very notion of the present evaporates in the vast universe. From Boltzmann to quantum theory, from Einstein to loop quantum gravity, our understanding of time has been undergoing radical transformations. Rovelli tears down these assumptions one by one, revealing a strange universe where at the most fundamental level time disappears. ![]() Philosophers, artists and poets have long explored its meaning while scientists have found that its structure is different from the simple intuition we have of it. Time is a mystery that does not cease to puzzle us. The bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics takes us on an enchanting journey to discover the meaning of time Penguin presents the audio edition of The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli, read by B enedict Cumberbatch. ![]() He begins with classical physics (the equations work backwards in time), and moves on to General and Special Relativity, and quantum mechanics. Winner of Audiobook of the Year at The Specsavers National Book Awards 2018 In the first Rovelli covers the various sub-disciplines of physics and their temporal implications (or lack thereof). ![]()
