About this product

Product Information

'The physicist transforming how we see the universe' (Financial Times) What are time and space made of? Where does matter come from? And what exactly is reality? Scientist Carlo Rovelli has spent his life exploring these questions and pushing the boundaries of what we know. Here he explains how our image of the world has changed throughout centuries. From Aristotle to Albert Einstein, Michael Faraday to the Higgs boson, he takes us on a wondrous journey to show us that beyond our ever-changing idea of reality is a whole new world that has yet to be discovered.

  • Physics untestable; a bold step in the wrong direction.

    Title more correctly should be Loop Quantum Gravity. The history component is fairly accurate. The detail on Loop Quantum Gravity has key areas lacking clarity and consistency. Too much "Faith Fiction and Fantasy" as per Roger Penrose book .
