À propos de cet audio

 One of TIME’s Ten Best Nonfiction Books of the Decade
"Meet the new Stephen Hawking . . . The Order of Time is a dazzling book." --The Sunday Times

From the bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, Reality Is Not What It Seems, Helgoland, and Anaximander comes a concise, elegant exploration of time.

Why do we remember the past and not the future? What does it mean for time to "flow"? Do we exist in time or does time exist in us? In lyric, accessible prose, Carlo Rovelli invites us to consider questions about the nature of time that continue to puzzle physicists and philosophers alike.

For most readers this is unfamiliar terrain. We all experience time, but the more scientists learn about it, the more mysterious it remains. We think of it as uniform and universal, moving steadily from past to future, measured by clocks. Rovelli tears down these assumptions one by one, revealing a strange universe where at the most fundamental level time disappears. He explains how the theory of quantum gravity attempts to understand and give meaning to the resulting extreme landscape of this timeless world. Weaving together ideas from philosophy, science and literature, he suggests that our perception of the flow of time depends on our perspective, better understood starting from the structure of our brain and emotions than from the physical universe.

Already a bestseller in Italy, and written with the poetic vitality that made Seven Brief Lessons on Physics so appealing, The Order of Time offers a profoundly intelligent, culturally rich, novel appreciation of the mysteries of time.

I found the order of time to be very interesting, and provided a good balance of introduction and details about the topic. There were times when I had to replay it over in order to catch the premise that was being presented, and I’m not entirely certain I understood it correctly. However, I did enjoy this and would recommend it.

Interesting but occasionally dense

I don't think I'll ever understand everything in this book, but still one of the most important books I've listened to to date, and will be revisiting it many, many times.

Rovelli + Cumberbatch = mind blown!

The content and the narration will energize your sense of wonder about ‘Life, the Universe, and Everything’.

Excellent!

I can't say enough on this reading, it's alot of realizations fast. There's no missing thread for building a better understanding, or peaking interest. Benedict Cumberbatch has a great pacing for attention to detail, if there is a looking for deeper or different perspective this would be it for me. I am looking for more in this hard to accomplish category, but the authour has done so for me.

optimal explanation with a great reading

Rovelli beautifully illustrates the relationship between space, time and thermodynamics and provides a moving meditation on the loss of his friend. Dr. Carlo Rovelli really is the poet laureate of physics and in combination with narration from Benedict Cumberbatch this audiobook is a stunning work of art. There is nothing more I can say as Dr. Rovelli's work is more then capable of speaking for itself,

“This is time for us. Memory. A nostalgia. The pain of absence. But it isn't absence that causes sorrow. It is affection and love. Without affection, without love, such absences would cause us no pain. For this reason, even the pain caused by absence is in the end something good and even beautiful. Because it feeds on that which gives meaning to life.” - Carlo Rovelii
