Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of Reality is Not What it Seems by Carlo Rovelli, read by Roy McMillan. From the best-selling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics comes a new book about the mind-bending nature of the universe Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook book edition of Reality is Not What it Seems by Carlo Rovelli, read by Roy McMillan. What are time and space made of? Where does matter come from? And what exactly is reality? Scientist Carlo Rovelli has spent his whole life exploring these questions and pushing the boundaries of what we know. Here he explains how our image of the world has changed throughout centuries. From Aristotle to Albert Einstein, Michael Faraday to the Higgs boson, he takes us on a wondrous journey to show us that beyond our ever-changing idea of reality is a whole new world that has yet to be discovered.
THE PHENOMENAL BESTSELLER'There's a book I've been carrying around like a small Bible, Seven Brief Lessons on Physics' - Benedict CumberbatchEverything you need to know about modern physics, the universe and your place in the world in seven enlightening lessonsThese seven short lessons guide us, with simplicity and clarity, through the scientific revolution that shook physics in the twentieth century and still continues to shake us today. In this beautiful and mind-bending introduction to modern physics, Carlo Rovelli explains Einstein's theory of general relativity, quantum mechanics, black holes, the complex architecture of the universe, elementary particles, gravity, and the nature of the mind. In under eighty pages, readers will understand the most transformative scientific discoveries of the twentieth century and what they mean for us. Not since Richard Feynman's celebrated best-seller Six Easy Pieces has physics been so vividly, intelligently and entertainingly revealed.
Vi tæller dagene og tænker over tiden, der går. Men hvad er tid egentlig? Den populære teoretiske fysiker Carlo Rovelli er tilbage med en lille bog om dette fascinerende store mysterium. Med poetisk præcision og stor klarhed præsenterer han fysikkens tidligere og nye teorier om fænomenet tid iblandet litterære henvisninger og filosofiske overvejelser. For tiden rejser store spørgsmål. Er den overhovedet virkelig, eller er det bare en brugbar måde at måle forandring på? Hvorfor kender vi fortiden, men ikke fremtiden? Hvad betyder det, at tiden går? Findes vi i tiden, eller findes tiden i os? Carlo Rovelli formår at formidle kompleks videnskab, så alle kan være med og indbyder os til at tænke over tidens natur, som bliver ved med at forundre både fysikere og filosoffer – og nok os alle.
Carlo Rovellis Syv små forelæsninger om fysik er populærvidenskabelig bog og bestseller, der i syv små tekster formidler fysikkens største opdagelser i det 20. århundrede. Carlo Rovelli er en respekteret teoretisk fysiker, der i klart og billedbåret sprog skriver sig igennem relativitetsteorien, kvantemekanikken og teorien om de sorte huller, så alle kan være med og på bare 50 sider blive klogere på fysikkens forunderlige verden. Teksterne formidler ikke blot den teoretiske del af fysikken, men introducerer også fysikkens helt store notabiliteter fra Einstein til Hawking.
