About this book
'The physicist transforming how we see the universe' (Financial Times) 'An utter joy' (Adam Rutherford) 'A hugely engaging book... Rovelli is a charming, thought-provoking tour guide' (Manjit Kumar, Prospect) Do space and time truly exist? What is reality made of? Can we understand its deep structure? Scientist Carlo Rovelli has spent his entire life exploring these questions and pushing the boundaries of our knowledge. In this mind-expanding book, he shows how our understanding of reality has evolved over the centuries, from Democritus to loop quantum gravity. Taking us on a wondrous journey, he invites us to imagine a whole new world where black holes are waiting to explode, spacetime is made up of grains, and infinity does not exist — a vast universe still largely undiscovered. Translated by Simon Carnell and Erica Segre
