Reality Is Not What It Seems Av Carlo Rovelli

<p><b>'The physicist transforming how we see the universe' (<i>Financial Times</i>)</b><br><br><b>'An utter joy' (Adam Rutherford)</b><br><br><b>'A hugely engaging book... Rovelli is a charming, thought-provoking tour guide' (Manjit Kumar <i>Prospect</i>)</b><br><br>Do space and time truly exist? What is reality made of? Can we understand its deep texture?<br>Scientist Carlo Rovelli has spent his whole life exploring these questions and pushing the boundaries of what we know. In this mind-expanding book, he shows how our understanding of reality has changed throughout centuries, from Democritus to loop quantum gravity. Taking us on a wondrous journey, he invites us to imagine a whole new world where black holes are waiting to explode, spacetime is made up of grains, and infinity does not exist -- a vast universe still largely undiscovered.<br><br>Translated by Simon Carnell and Erica Segre</p>
