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 author of the international bestseller Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, Reality Is Not What It Seems, and the forthcoming The Order of Time. Rovelli lives in Marseille, France.
From the bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, 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.
以下文字基本与此书无关,仅仅是记录一下个人的心情。 高考考物理那天,我对自己的发挥还是比较满意的,一共只错了三个小题。跟考数学时不同,我可以欣然接受物理有很多题我会做错,且这三个小题都是我一看到就认为“毫无做对希望”的。也就是说,该拿的分全都拿到了。而从此之...

评分在科普作品中夹带私货实在不是什么稀罕事,无论《超越时空》《20世纪场论的概念发展》还是《终极理论之梦》《物理学的困惑》莫不如此;当然了,像《爱因斯坦的玩具》《通向实在之路》这样的实在货也为数不少。《现实不似你所见》和《时间的秩序》亦属于前者。实际上,本书一共...

时空,万物,都是一种量子态的存在,需要一个物理系统作为参照,才有一个对应的“形状”。 而我们每一个个体,作为一个独立的物理系统产生觉知时,才开始了对这个宇宙的“理解”。 (所以我们本是混沌的,需要相遇,才能彼此照见。:) 宇宙本无所谓时间,是因为我们的特殊视角,才有了时间。 但我们的“特殊”并非一种目的——宇宙的无穷排列组合中,总会有些特殊的结果,而我们作为这种特殊的结果,才产生了对时间的感知。 很浪漫的一本科普,反思的是我们的perspective可能存在的种种的局限。只是他的思考给我感觉呢,缺少一种powerful的结构(seems going no where),一如意大利式的散漫。但就反思而言,启发已经足够大了。:)
评分在豆瓣浏览了评论后对此书期待值可能太高了。 easy read - 几乎没有干货
评分有声书是BC念的。作者高产到让我觉得有点水?太短了?哦是compact啦,还是挺好看的。另外结尾的sister of sleep,BWV56里头不是brother of sleep么,不知道是误用"典故"还是故意的,或者说本来就是泛指无所谓。entropy!颠覆时间的观念最有用的就是写情书了。
评分过于优美的科普读物。里面大部分的知识都在课本里学过了,但是作者总会把一个个冰冷的概念联系到生活和生命的层面。结尾对于死亡平静客观的态度也让人不得不喜欢。
评分Quite an innovative transcendent book with trenchant opinions, bring me with revolutionary understanding on time and space, especially on time.
