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 評分一 如果我們追溯什麼是確定的,首先會像笛卡爾那樣,追溯到“我”,但是連這個“我”,也隻是一個模糊的a thinking thing。“我”看不到自身,就像眼睛看不到眼睛,所以康德在《純粹理性》中認為,我們永遠無法瞭解理性,因為我們瞭解世界的工具就是理性自身。 你跟我說你坐的...

lots of good intuition
評分對於物理係學生,這本書讀完沒啥意思。高中生看應該更有啓發性。其實還是很不錯的。
評分看到後麵有點似懂非懂瞭...The last chapter is a gem.
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~
