DESCRIPTION:
"A FINE INFORMAL ACCOUNT OF QUANTUM GRAVITY" according to graham nerlich. This math-free book is a good introduction to loop quantum gravity and has a lot of interesting history about the development of physics since (and including) the Greeks.It's an informal introduction to a very difficult and doubtfully intelligible theory.- doubted ev. "Time is ignorance, according to Rovelli, and this book shows how ignorant we are." according to Amaury Cruz. Thought provoking exposition of the latest discoveries and theories (as of a few years ago) in the area of quantum physics. Very readable for the most part, but dense and difficult to follow in other parts. A new view of what time really is according to the theory of. Ries Vriend said Fascinating read. Clear language. Not pretentious. Strong arguments, lots of context provided. Covers the entire universe from the absolute largest to smallest scales. The book walks over the history of the theories, and provides good guidance on how they where imagined, thought over
From the best-selling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics comes a new audiobook about the mind-bending nature of the universe. Here he explains how our image of the world has changed throughout centuries. 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. Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Reality Is Not What It Seems by Carlo Rovelli, read by Roy McMillan. 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.
