    Description

    From the best-selling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics comes a new audiobook about the mind-bending nature of the universe.

    Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Reality Is Not What It Seems by Carlo Rovelli, read by Roy McMillan.

    What are time and space made of? Where does matter come from? And what exactly is reality?

    Scientist Carlo Rovelli has spent his whole 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.

    Un merveilleux voyage dans le temps et l'espace

    Ce livre retrace l'histoire des sciences depuis Democrite jusqu'aux dernière recherche sur la gravitation quantique à boucle. C'est très bien écrit, très bien vulgarisé, ce qui le rend accessible à tous. La voix du lecteur est très agréable à écouter et vous transportera de la Grèce au big bounce.

    Rovelli is a master

    This and Seven Brief Lessons are two of my favorite books of the year. Rovelli communicates advanced physics clearly, with imagination, and with such a great sense of humanity and the arts. I rarely listen to books twice, but these are the exceptions.

    Sparkling foundational history of physics

    The history makes sense of current thought
    Then listen to the last half as many times as it takes.

    great

    Requires some knowledge of science, but definitely trying to also speak to the non-physicist . Great also for those needing the latest on physics. New concepts on space, time and gravity.

    Interesting and very well narrated

    I like the style of the book. The author takes us on a journey through time. I also enjoyed the way he talks about science as discovery, as a journey, as a deeper search into the unknown. Some of the concepts were a bit too complicated for my understanding- but I think that the author even explains that some concepts are beyond even his and other physicists understanding. The narrators voice and intonation is great, and so easy to listen to!

    So good l am so happy to study at Albert Einstein’s Uni@ ETH Zürich

    The entire current technology is build on Faraday, the poor London experimentor and theoretical physics: build math equations on the intuition and vision of Faraday. Happy birthday Faraday 25th August 18

    A beautifully written and engaging text

    One of the best audiobooks I have listened to and always in my library. I have listened to the book three times so far and still working on catching all the details, but have enjoyed listening immensely each time. Carlo Rovelli manages to inject poetry into quantum physics, his enthusiasm for his subject is infectious, and Roy McMillan narration is fantastic. The book gives a very good overview of quantum gravity and spin foam theory in their historical context. Wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommended.

    The most brilliant book on physics

    I just couldn't stop listening to this book. I am totally in love with the stories, narration, the view on history and physics evolvement.
    May be it's because the author is an Italian? but his way of describing complex theories beautifully, poetically and sometimes metaphorically makes this book absolutely unique. I hope he'll continue writing.
    Highly recommended!

    the wonder of physics and scientific discovery

    Carlo Rovelli and the excellent speaker are offering us an exciting story of the evolution of the science of western physics.
    We enjoy with great pleasure these lessons.

    Empfehlenswert

    Das Buch ist angenehm präzise geschrieben. Es ist mehr ein philosophisches Buch als ein Physik Buch. Es geht auch viel um antike Philosophen die aufgewertet werden. Mein Physik Durchbruch besteht darin den Raum als Feld aufzufassen. Angenehm zu hören.

    Beautiful !

    An extremely interesting and engaging book, it's a small mastepiece.
    I hope that the author continues bringing physics to mortals

    Great book about physics/quantum gravity

    One of the two best books about modern physics I have read. By explaining quantum gravity through the evolution of the ideas from simple, sometimes ancient roots, the author manages to reduce abstractness of the topic and create a sense of understanding near the borders of human knowledge.

    "The best answers that we have at the present..."

    I was getting ready for an in depth dive into loop quantum gravity...
    This book doesn't go all that deep into details of LQG, but it does provide a clear and vivid overview of the history of scientific (and pholisophical) thinking, however.

    Loop Quantum Gravity seems likely to be the most promising research direction in the field at the present moment in time, although I'm still not sure I can wrap my mind around Carlo Rovelli's concept of time as an emergent phenomenon in relation to an increase of entropy and heat radiation.
    If we understand that heat is essentially nothing but the accelerated movement of molecules in a medium, I still have to comprehend how this makes sense if we want to deny the fundamental reality of time... What is acceleration and movement without time? What is heat if we don't want to accept the idea of time of changing states in a succesion of moments in time?
    And how does any observation of nature make sense if there is no fundamental reality to mental processes in past, present and future?

    Perception, cognition, memory, recollection/ recognition, learning...
    I cannot see (yet) how any epistemological process makes sense in disregard of time...
    How can I see anything in nature, if there is no time for the light rays reflected from an object to finally meet my retina and cause a cascade of nerve reations?
    How can anything react (or happen or be registeted) without time?

    This book is *now* leaving me with mysteries to solve...
    Maybe I will understand a *bit* more in as time goes by?/ Or I will learn that time does not actually go by and I have to (finally) transcend my narrow concept of a chronologically and causally meaningful reality. /? ⏳⌚🔮🔍
