The book of the Italian physicist has broken the records of «50 shades of gray»!
The history of great discoveries, the results of the latest research, amazing facts and bold hypotheses.
Carlo Rovelli is a theoretical physicist who made a significant contribution to the physics of space and time, the author of several popular science books. He has worked in Italy and the United States and is now heading a research group on quantum gravity in Marseille. «Seven Etudes in Physics» instantly became a bestseller in Italy and has been translated into several dozen languages. This audiobook will tell you everything you need to know about physics — the science that studies how our world works, everything without which we can never even imagine what an amazing and mysterious world we live in.
How are stars born and how they die, what is time and why black holes speak three languages, what the universe consists of and whether there was anything before it, where can we find «quanta of space» and what was Kant’s mistake, why Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity called «the most beautiful of the existing physical theories» and why the scientist himself was an ardent opponent of quantum physics. This audiobook will tell about the great revolution that took place in physics in the 20th century, about great research and brilliant insights, bold hypotheses and unexpected facts, naive delusions and amazing discoveries. And most importantly — about the place and significance of man in the infinite space of the Cosmos.
