A Brief Theory of Time

Carlo Rovelli – Doctor of Philosophy, Italian theoretical physicist, and one of the founders of loop quantum gravity theory. In addition to his main research at the Center for Theoretical Physics in Marseille, he is actively involved in promoting science.... More than a million copies of his book “Seven Brief Lessons on Physics” have been sold worldwide. He is considered one of the most influential thinkers in the world according to Foreign Policy magazine.
What if time does not exist? The time we are used to measuring with hours, days, weeks, and months, smoothly flowing into years and decades. Carlo Rovelli explores the enduring mystery of time and space, confronting and uniting various theories with each other. How does the “loop theory” differ from the “string theory” and what advantage does it have over it?
About the complex – easily and simply. The book will be an engaging introduction to the basic aspects of fundamental physics and an interesting guide to modern physical science.
