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.
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...
評分 評分除去晚飯時間,一氣嗬成讀完瞭整本書。三觀粉碎,並且再次重組,對時間又有瞭一個更加理性卻不失詩意與禪意的理解。有意思的是好幾處都引用瞭佛教故事,“時間”貫穿瞭宗教哲學物理學和心理學。Carlo Rovelli絕對是我新男神!
评分Written so romantically
评分不說他一個量子物理學傢,兼具詩人和哲學傢氣質(當然物理和哲學大概本就氣脈相通),把時間的幻影講得又客觀又玄妙,單說他的寫作技巧,徐疾疏密的節奏,起承轉閤的調度,強過不知多少小說傢。
评分Via Audible. 感覺沒太讀懂,值得再讀一遍
评分過於科普嚮瞭。對科普來說散文化的行文也不閤胃口。
