The Order of Time

Book • 2019
In this book, Carlo Rovelli delves into the mysteries of time, combining physics, philosophy, and art to explain how modern physics has transformed our understanding of time.

The book is divided into sections that cover the theory of relativity, space-time, loop quantum gravity, and thermodynamics.

Rovelli argues that at the most fundamental level, time disappears, and our perception of its flow is subjective and influenced by our brain and emotions.

He uses metaphors and simple language to make complex concepts accessible to a broad audience.
