One of TIME’s Ten Best Nonfiction Books of the Decade
“Meet the brand new Stephen Hawking . . . The Order of Time is a blinding guide.” –The Sunday Times
From the bestselling creator of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, Reality Is Not What It Seems, and Helgoland, comes a concise, elegant exploration of time.
Why can we bear in mind the previous and never the longer term? What does it imply for time to “stream”? Do we exist in time or does time exist in us? In lyric, accessible prose, Carlo Rovelli invitations us to contemplate questions concerning the nature of time that proceed to puzzle physicists and philosophers alike.
For most readers that is unfamiliar terrain. We all expertise time, however the extra scientists study it, the extra mysterious it stays. We consider it as uniform and common, shifting steadily from previous to future, measured by clocks. Rovelli tears down these assumptions one after the other, revealing an odd universe the place on the most basic degree time disappears. He explains how the speculation of quantum gravity makes an attempt to know and provides that means to the ensuing excessive panorama of this timeless world. Weaving collectively concepts from philosophy, science and literature, he means that our notion of the stream of time is determined by our perspective, higher understood ranging from the construction of our mind and feelings than from the bodily universe.
Already a bestseller in Italy, and written with the poetic vitality that made Seven Brief Lessons on Physics so interesting, The Order of Time provides a profoundly clever, culturally wealthy, novel appreciation of the mysteries of time.
