À propos de cet audio

The New York Times best seller from the author of The Order of Time, Reality Is Not What It Seems and Helgoland.

This playful, entertaining, and mind-bending introduction to modern physics briskly explains Einstein's general relativity, quantum mechanics, elementary particles, gravity, black holes, the complex architecture of the Universe, and the role humans play in this weird and wonderful world. Carlo Rovelli, a renowned theoretical physicist, is a delightfully poetic and philosophical scientific guide. He takes us to the frontiers of our knowledge: To the most minute reaches of the fabric of space, back to the origins of the cosmos, and into the workings of our minds. The audiobook celebrates the joy of discovery.

“Here, on the edge of what we know, in contact with the ocean of the unknown, shines the mystery and the beauty of the world", Rovelli writes. “And it’s breathtaking”.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“One of the year’s most entrancing books about science.” (The Wall Street Journal)

“Clear, elegant...a whirlwind tour of some of the biggest ideas in physics.” (The New York Times Book Review)

“The writing is elegant and poetic, and Carlo's explanatory clarity is compelling. He organized this short book into seven lessons that introduce the non-specialized reader to the most fascinating questions about the universe, including how we learn about it.” (NPR)

tons of answers but more wonder and curiosity than ever. I what the deeply blindly religious would think about this?

more curious than when I started the book...

Hated physics at school but loved this. Awesome, mind-blowing, humbling, exciting. I loved listening to his accent, which in a mysterious way added to the magic of his thoughts. Came across it as a consequence of World Bookclub on the BBC World Service — so glad I did!

Awesome

Loved it

A personal account of the state of physics by a leading theoretician. It comes alive through his reading.

A Beautiful Book

The words used to describe the concepts were not well chosen. Would have been good to provide analogies to simply concepts rather than use words to convey the idea.

Good information but did not enjoy the presentatio

I highly recommend reading this beautiful short collection of lessons. However, the author reads his own (translated) work as if for the first time - with awkward pauses, mispronunciations, and a general lack of flow that is so crucial in a text this grand and complex.

Beautiful text, terrible to listen to
