The Number One bestselling author of The Order of Time is back with a stunning book about the enigma of quantum physics

In June 1925, twenty-three-year-old Werner Heisenberg, suffering from hay fever, retreated to a small, treeless island in the North Sea called Helgoland. It was there that he came up with one of the most transformative scientific concepts: quantum theory.

Almost a century later, quantum physics has given us many startling ideas: ghost waves, distant objects that seem magically connected to each other, cats that are both dead and alive. Countless experiments have led to practical applications that shape our daily lives. Today our understanding of the world around us is based on this theory. And yet it is still profoundly mysterious.

In this enchanting book, Carlo Rovelli, one of our most celebrated scientists, tells the extraordinary story of quantum physics and reveals its deep meaning: a world made of substances is replaced by a world made of relations, each particle responding to another in a never ending game of mirrors.

Shifting our perspective once again, Rovelli takes us on a riveting journey through the universe so we can better understand our place in it.


Carlo Rovelli is a theoretical physicist who has made significant contributions to the physics of space and time. He has worked in Italy and the US, and is currently directing the quantum gravity research group of the Centre de physique théorique in Marseille, France. His books Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, Reality Is Not What It Seems and The Order of Time are international ...

    Carlo Rovelli是真正的liberal arts人!我都不知道我是读了本物理书还是哲学书。第一部分讲发现量子物理的那些人和过程,第二部分讲主流的一些诠释和他自己的关系性诠释。第三部分画风就变了,纯纯在讲哲学。从Mach和Lenin到Nagarjuna,以我的理解水平看得一知半解。但我是真心对关系性诠释很有共鸣,毕竟和Nagarjuna那么相似。再插一句,Rovelli真的很会写,经常把自己的诠释和理解写得像是客观事实一样。

    大概是当代物理学家写得最好的一个了吧。引经据典博古通今,把当今对量子物理仍旧有限的理解解释得好易懂。对世界构成与真相的全新思考,对建立在经典物理学之上所谓普世真理绝对唯物论的反击。不仅科学知识细节都很过硬,讲到历史故事哲学思考也都很有自己的见解,觉得百年前可以做最棒的物理学家也可以做最棒的哲学家政治家文学家该是多有趣的人生跟多有才华的灵魂。最后一章更是点睛之笔,点明分享自己思考的目的,人类的进步取决于对过去的推翻与对新视角的无限探索,这世界还有好多未知,对待未知以及与自己认知不符的现象与发展不应当是恐惧与拒绝沟通的状态,我们都还要一起探索
