The Order of Time: Bestsellers cărți Popularizarea științei
Autor Carlo Rovellien Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 apr 2019
The bestselling author ofSeven Brief Lessons on Physicstakes us on an enchanting, consoling journey to discover the meaning of time
'We are time. We are this space, this clearing opened by the traces of memory inside the connections between our neurons. We are memory. We are nostalgia. We are longing for a future that will not come'
Time is a mystery that does not cease to puzzle us. 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. From Boltzmann to quantum theory, from Einstein to loop quantum gravity, our understanding of time has been undergoing radical transformations. 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.
With his extraordinary charm and sense of wonder, bringing together science, philosophy and art, Carlo Rovelli unravels this mystery. Enlightening and consoling,The Order of Timeshows that to understand ourselves we need to reflect on time -- and to understand time we need to reflect on ourselves.

Recenzii
Brings
the
most
difficult
ideas
alive
in
clear,
appealing
language.
It
is
as
close
as
I've
come
to
a
physics
lesson
that
almost
suggests
the
meaning
of
life
Modern physics has found its poet. A captivating, fascinating, profoundly beautiful book. . . Rovelli is a wonderfully humane, gentle and witty guide for he is as much philosopher and poet as he is a scientist
A dizzying, poetic work in which I found myself abandoning everything I thought I knew about time
Wonderful. . . Time is something we think we know about instinctively; here he shows how profoundly strange it really is
Meet the new Stephen Hawking. . . I've never seen special relativity explained so well, never visualised it less fuzzily, never felt such a jolt of shock at what it implies
I consider Carlo Rovelli to be a poet as much as a physicist. . . Everybody should read this book
A joy to read. . . Rovelli writes easily, vividly and brilliantly - he is as at ease with Beethoven as he is with Boltzmann's constant, and verses by Horace launch each chapter, one of which ends with a couplet from the Grateful Dead. . . A delight
A deep - and remarkably readable - dive into the fundamental nature of time. . . written with enough charm and poetry to engage the imagination of anyone who reads it
Highly original. . . The heart and humanity of the book, its poetry and its gentle tone raise it to the level and style of such great scientist-writers as Lewis Thomas and Rachel Carson
Rovelli is one of our great scientific explicators. . . Not since Stephen Hawking'sA Brief History of Timehas there been so genial an integration of physics and philosophy
Physics' literary superstar makes us rethink time. . .The Order of Timewill surely establish Rovelli among the pantheon of great scientist-communicators
An elegantly concise primer makes theoretical physics intelligible. . . stunningly written
A masterly writer. . . In this little gem of a book, Mr. Rovelli demolishes our common-sense notion of time. . . an ambitious book that illuminates a thorny question and succeeds in being a pleasurable read
Carlo Rovelli has achieved almost prophetic status
The physicist transforming how we see the universe
With the publication of his million-sellingSeven Brief Lessons on Physics, Carlo Rovelli took his place with Stephen Hawking and Richard Feynman as one of the great popularisers of modern theoretical physics
The most fun physicist to be with -- as well as the greatest explainer of physics
Anyone with the least interest in the science of the physical world will be by turns astonished, baffled and thrilled by what Rovelli has to say about the true nature of time, which has little in common with our everyday conception of it
Enlightening... gives poetic voice to the common human experience of moving through time, while simultaneously leaving the reader much more equipped to understand how exactly that happens. . . A resounding affirmation of the humanity behind science
This book has been a kind of bible for me.When life feels strange, Rovelli's books remind me that there is beauty in the strangeness.The Order of Timeis one of those books that I will always go back to

THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
The bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics takes us on an enchanting, consoling journey to discover the meaning of time
'We are time. We are this space, this clearing opened by the traces of memory inside the connections between our neurons. We are memory. We are nostalgia. We are longing for a future that will not come'
Time is a mystery that does not cease to puzzle us. 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. From Boltzmann to quantum theory, from Einstein to loop quantum gravity, our understanding of time has been undergoing radical transformations. 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.
With his extraordinary charm and sense of wonder, bringing together science, philosophy and art, Carlo Rovelli unravels this mystery. Enlightening and consoling, The Order of Time shows that to understand ourselves we need to reflect on time -- and to understand time we need to reflect on ourselves.
