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.
The bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics takes us on an enchanting, consoling journey to discover the meaning of time
'We are time. We are this space, this clearing opened by the traces of memory inside the connections between our neurons. We are memory. We are nostalgia. We are longing for a future that will not come.'
Time is a mystery that does not cease to puzzle us. Philosophers, artists and poets have long explored its meaning while scientists have found that its structure is different from the simple intuition we have of it. From Boltzmann to quantum theory, from Einstein to loop quantum gravity, our understanding of time has been undergoing radical transformations. Time flows at a different speed in different places, the past and the future differ far less than we might think, and the very notion of the present evaporates in the vast universe.
With his extraordinary charm and sense of wonder, bringing together science, philosophy and art, Carlo Rovelli unravels this mystery. Enlightening and consoling, The Order of Time shows that to understand ourselves we need to reflect on time -- and to understand time we need to reflect on ourselves.
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...
评分一 我记得在多伊奇的《无穷的开始》中说,如果宇宙最初的参数稍微调整,就不会有生命的产生。也就是说,宇宙的存在方式,在物理上有多种可能。但是大部分可能的宇宙,都无法诞生生命。这或许会给人一种非常特别的感觉,类似于你、我和其他每一个人的存在。可以类比一下,你的出...
评分 评分从《七堂课》到《现实》再到这本《时间的秩序》,罗威利的每一本书都不是简单的科普读物。他更关心的是人类,他想从一个物理学家的角度给予我们内心所需要的慰藉。 本书中,作者将时间之所以有箭头,归因于我们生活在宇宙的特殊一隅,这块区域恰好从有序演化至无序。而唯有熵增...
不敢说完全读懂了,但确实刷新了我的宇宙观。
评分【听过】。因为很杂食+正好上月写了篇有关the philosophical ideas in Alice in Wonderland的小essay,因为字数限制所以只讨论了其中的self-identity, ego, memory, consciousness, anxiety, TIME, 和reality所以……觉得这本书就——写得很简明扼要,覆盖面比较广,但没啥新理论,适合大学期间读。虽然对BC已经脱粉了,但总比听歌“有用”233333
评分除去晚饭时间,一气呵成读完了整本书。三观粉碎,并且再次重组,对时间又有了一个更加理性却不失诗意与禅意的理解。有意思的是好几处都引用了佛教故事,“时间”贯穿了宗教哲学物理学和心理学。Carlo Rovelli绝对是我新男神!
评分本尼老师一读我就睡不着了……
评分This opens my mind so much! Got confused in the middle but it all came together in the end. Physical time in general and thermal time/the flow of time we perceive co-exist (or, the latter is a special perspective of the former).
