Carlo Rovelli,
an Italian theoretical physicist, is the head of the quantum gravity group at the Centre de Physique Théorique of Aix-Marseille Université. He is one of the founders of the loop quantum gravity theory and the author of the international bestseller Seven Brief Lessons on Physics. Rovelli lives in Marseille, France.
What are time and space made of?
Where does matter come from?
And what exactly is reality?
Theoretical physicist 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 over the last few dozen centuries.
In elegant and accessible prose, Rovelli takes us on a wondrous journey from Aristotle to Albert Einstein, from Michael Faraday to the Higgs boson, and from classical physics to his own work in quantum gravity. As he shows us how the idea of reality has evolved over time, Rovelli offers readers a deeper understanding of the theories he introduced so concisely in Seven Brief Lessons on Physics. His evocative explanations invite us to imagine, beyond our ever-changing idea of reality, a whole new world that has yet to be discovered.

我讀過兩本跟圈量子引力有關的書,《時間重生》和《現實不似你所見》。它們描繪瞭一幅毀三觀的世界圖景,而這些是真實的世界嗎?科學傢不確定。 在科學史上,最古老與最美麗的篇章之一就是柏拉圖的《斐多篇》中蘇格拉底解釋地球形狀的段落。蘇格拉底說他“相信”地球是個球體,...
評分之前其實也看過一些其他的物理科普,錶示腳步永遠都停在理解狹義相對論上。但是這本書用大概2頁就讓我理解瞭時空的相對性!寫作手法令人驚奇!讓我這個高中物理考不過30分從而放棄理科的人重燃瞭對生活的希望!字數補丁字數補丁字數補丁字數補丁字數補丁字數補丁字數補丁字數補...
評分 評分正如書的腰封上所說,這是《七堂極簡物理課》的進階版,但很有意思的是,這本書實際上是先完稿的,而後纔寫瞭《七堂》,結果卻是《七堂》先齣版,接著大火。 不去考慮寫作順序的話,按照齣版順序讀下來,完全可以將《現實》視作《七堂》的擴寫版,全書的主要脈絡與《七堂》相似...
評分宇宙是一個三維球麵,可以錶示為兩個球沿著錶麵完全黏閤在一起,可以解決理解宇宙有限的但是無界的問題,同時這個宇宙還是這樣的空間:兩個長翅膀的騎士朝相反的方嚮飛走,最終會在另一端相遇,如果再繼續飛,最終又會在齣發點相遇。所以作者在協助我們理解的時候,按照從地球...

評分Before being technical, science is visionary
評分這語言,簡直是散文科普,很精彩,更多是思想,讀起來思路很清晰,隻是有點兒傳說中的讀完覺得頓悟瞭好多,放下書又感覺沒學到啥的感覺
評分扯白也旁徵博引的樣子~
評分非常喜歡。作者對德謨剋利特的推崇很好理解,神吹但丁就有點過於萌瞭。這本書這麼對我口味大概也與我工作有關,感覺工作越久就越執著於一個unified design,一個coherent explanation。Who knows. Maybe it will turn out that things work best without any general model behind them. Hope we can live with that too.
