by Carlo Rovelli
(QC173.59.S65 R6813 2018)
"Thoughts and emotions that create bonds of attachment between us have no difficulty in crossing seas and decades, sometimes even centuries, tied to thin sheets of paper or dancing between the microchips of a computer. We are part of a network that goes far beyond the few days of our lives and the few square meters that we tread."
In The Order of Time, Italian theoretical physicist and writer Carlo Rovelli explores everything humanity knows, and doesn't know, about time. Part physics and part philosophy, Rovelli references thinkers from Aristotle to Einstein, and uses both art and science to navigate our complex understanding of time's function.
Deceptively simple in the first few chapters, the book does pick up difficulty midway through when the author begins discussing his own theories on loop quantum gravity theory. That said, Rovelli writes beautifully and imaginatively, making the science enjoyable to read, even if you may not "get it" 100% of the time. (And if you do understand all of it, hats off to you!)
