Seven Brief Lessons on Physics. Anniversary Edition
These seven short lessons guide us, with simplicity and clarity, through the scientific revolution that shook physics in the twentieth century and still continues to shake us today. In this enchanting overview of modern physics, Carlo Rovelli explains Einstein's theory of general relativity, quantum mechanics, black holes, the complex architecture of the universe, elementary particles, gravity, and the nature of the mind.Not since Richard Feynman's celebrated Six Easy Pieces has physics been so vividly, intelligently and entertainingly revealed.

There Are Places in the World Where Rules Are Less Important Than Kindness
One of our most beloved scientists, a fearless free spirit, Carlo Rovelli is also a masterful storyteller. In this collection of writings, the logbook of an intelligence always on the move, he follows his curiosity and invites us on a voyage through science, literature, philosophy and politics.Written with his usual clarity and wit, these pieces, most of which were first published in Italian newspapers, range widely across time and space: from Newton's alchemy to Einstein's mistakes, from Nabokov's butterflies to Dante's cosmology, from travels in Africa to the consciousness of an octopus, from mind-altering psychedelic substances to the meaning of atheism. Charming, pithy and elegant, this book is the perfect gateway to the universe of one of the most influential physicists of our age.

White Holes
'If you want to remember why you once fell in love with the idea of the cosmos, or want to fall in love with it for the first time, then this book is for you' ObserverFrom Carlo Rovelli, the bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, this is a story of wonder, new worlds and why the end is just the beginningLet us journey into the heart of a black hole. Let us slip beyond its boundary, the horizon, and tumble - on and on - down this crack in the universe. As we plunge, we'll see geometry fold, we'll feel the equations draw tight around us. Eventually, we'll pass it: the remains of a star, deep and dense and falling further far. And then - the bottom. Where time and space end, and the white hole is born . . .With lightness and magic, here Carlo Rovelli traces the ongoing adventure of his own cutting-edge research, of the uncertainty and joy of going where we've not yet been. Guiding us to the edge of theory and experiment, he invites us to go beyond, to experience the fever and the disquiet of science. Here is the extraordinary life of a white hole.A BOOK OF THE YEAR ACCORDING TO THE FINANCIAL TIMES * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH * NEW STATESMAN * NEW SCIENTIST (lib)

Die Ordnung der Zeit
Warum stehen wir mit den Füßen auf dem Boden? Newton meinte, weil sich Massen anziehen, Einstein sagte, weil sich die Raumzeit krümmt. Carlo Rovelli hat eine andere Erklärung: vielleicht ja deshalb, weil es uns immer dorthin zieht, wo die Zeit am langsamsten vergeht. Wenn, ja wenn es so etwas wie Zeit überhaupt gibt. Kaum etwas interessiert theoretische Physiker von Rang so sehr wie der Begriff der Zeit. Leben wir in der Zeit oder lebt die Zeit vielleicht nur in uns? Warum der physikalische Zeitbegriff immer weiter verschwimmt, je mehr man sich ihm nähert, warum es im Universum keine allgemeine Gegenwart gibt, warum die Welt aus Geschehnissen besteht und nicht aus Dingen und warum wir Menschen dennoch gar nicht anders können, als ein Zeitbewusstsein zu entwickeln: Rovelli nimmt uns mit auf eine Reise durch unsere Vorstellungen von der Zeit und spürt ihren Regeln und Rätseln nach. Ein großes, packend geschriebenes Leseabenteuer, ein würdiger Nachfolger des Weltbestsellers «Sieben kurze Lektionen über Physik». (lib)
