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.
读每一本物理学的书,都是企图逆转未来。 想要探寻时间和万物的答案,可能是人的天性吧。 时间解构 书中的前半部分对时间完成解构,从物理学的角度梳理了每个阶段人们对于时间的认知:它没有统一性、方向性,不存在当下,只有与世界相互作用时才会实体化。 时间的流逝在高处比...
评分下面这些话题,让我对这本书有兴趣。 1.Perspective 第八章“视角”的英文是perspective,也可以翻译成为“透视画法”,就是外界通过小孔成像,映射在我们视网膜上的模糊景象,就像第三章开始讲的那个时空的光锥一样。作者是意大利人,透视画法Perspective产生于文艺复兴时的意...
评分 评分 评分时间究竟是怎样运行的,时间的本质也许是最大的未解之谜。时间的流逝在地势高的地方比地势低的地方要快,在较低的位置,不止钟表,所有进程都会变慢。在不同地方时间的流逝是不均匀的,有着不同节奏。在钟表的发展精确到足以测量出时间延缓之前的一个世纪,爱因斯坦就发现了这...
Via Audible. 感觉没太读懂,值得再读一遍
评分Written so romantically
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
评分过于科普向了。对科普来说散文化的行文也不合胃口。
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).
