Order of Time

Carlo Rovelli is one of the best and boldest theoretical physicists of our time. From Galileo to Heisenberg, from Einstein to Loop Quantum Gravity, his thought has left a lasting footprint on our civilization. Now he takes us on a voyage through the history of human thought about a time that is as enthralling as it is wide-ranging. Going beyond the physics lab and experimental results, he offers a home-cooked meal, full of paradoxes, humor, and poetic insights into this very human effort to understand who we are. With a novelist's talent for narrative and characters, Rovelli attracts the reader with his trust in the marvelous mysteries of existence.
