From the bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, a concise, elegant exploration of time.
Why do we remember the past and not the future? What does it mean for time to “flow”? Do we exist in time or does time exist in us? In lyric, accessible prose, Carlo Rovelli invites us to consider questions about the nature of time that continue to puzzle physicists and philosophers alike.
For most readers this is unfamiliar terrain. We all experience time, but the more scientists learn about it, the more mysterious it remains. We think of it as uniform and universal, moving steadily from past to future, measured by clocks. Rovelli tears down these assumptions one by one, revealing a strange universe where at the most fundamental level time disappears. He explains how the theory of quantum gravity attempts to understand and give meaning to the resulting extreme landscape of this timeless world. Weaving together ideas from philosophy, science and literature, he suggests that our perception of the flow of time depends on our perspective, better understood starting from the structure of our brain and emotions than from the physical universe.
Already a bestseller in Italy, and written with the poetic vitality that made Seven Brief Lessons on Physics so appealing, The Order of Time offers a profoundly intelligent, culturally rich, novel appreciation of the mysteries of time.
Carlo Rovelli, an Italian theoretical physicist, is the head of the quantum gravity group at the Centre de Physique Théorique of Aix-Marseille Université. He is one of the founders of the loop quantum gravity theory and author of the international bestseller Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, Reality Is Not What It Seems, and the forthcoming The Order of Time. Rovelli lives in Marseille, France.

评分有声书是BC念的。作者高产到让我觉得有点水?太短了?哦是compact啦,还是挺好看的。另外结尾的sister of sleep,BWV56里头不是brother of sleep么,不知道是误用"典故"还是故意的,或者说本来就是泛指无所谓。entropy!颠覆时间的观念最有用的就是写情书了。
评分11.25-11.28 总体来说和之前那本reality is not what it seems一样好看,而且讲的东西都能看懂,但最后面两章略水。不过还是值得一读的科普读物~
下面这些话题,让我对这本书有兴趣。 1.Perspective 第八章“视角”的英文是perspective,也可以翻译成为“透视画法”,就是外界通过小孔成像,映射在我们视网膜上的模糊景象,就像第三章开始讲的那个时空的光锥一样。作者是意大利人,透视画法Perspective产生于文艺复兴时的意...
评分在科普作品中夹带私货实在不是什么稀罕事,无论《超越时空》《20世纪场论的概念发展》还是《终极理论之梦》《物理学的困惑》莫不如此;当然了,像《爱因斯坦的玩具》《通向实在之路》这样的实在货也为数不少。《现实不似你所见》和《时间的秩序》亦属于前者。实际上,本书一共...
评分干货很多,刷新了我的认知。这里简单罗列几条印象比较深刻的: ①在不同地方,时间有着不同的节奏,在此处和在彼处的流逝并不相同。比如在海拔高的地方时间流逝得更快,人也衰老得快些。物体会下落,是因为在较低的位置,时间变慢了,如果在流逝速度一致的地方,比如星际空间物...
评分时间究竟是怎样运行的,时间的本质也许是最大的未解之谜。时间的流逝在地势高的地方比地势低的地方要快,在较低的位置,不止钟表,所有进程都会变慢。在不同地方时间的流逝是不均匀的,有着不同节奏。在钟表的发展精确到足以测量出时间延缓之前的一个世纪,爱因斯坦就发现了这...
评分一 我记得在多伊奇的《无穷的开始》中说,如果宇宙最初的参数稍微调整,就不会有生命的产生。也就是说,宇宙的存在方式,在物理上有多种可能。但是大部分可能的宇宙,都无法诞生生命。这或许会给人一种非常特别的感觉,类似于你、我和其他每一个人的存在。可以类比一下,你的出...
