IL BESTSELLER N. 1 DEL SUNDAY TIMES Uno dei dieci migliori libri di saggistica del decennio secondo TIME ''Affascinante, affascinante, profondamente bello. Rovelli è una guida meravigliosamente umana, gentile e spiritosa perché è tanto filosofo e poeta quanto scienziato'' John Banville ''Siamo il tempo. Siamo questo spazio, questa radura aperta dalle tracce della memoria all'interno delle connessioni tra i nostri neuroni. Siamo memoria. Siamo nostalgia. Aneliamo a un futuro che non arriverà'' Il tempo è un mistero che non cessa di confonderci. Filosofi, artisti e poeti hanno a lungo esplorato il suo significato mentre gli scienziati hanno scoperto che la sua struttura è diversa dalla semplice intuizione che ne abbiamo. Da Boltzmann alla teoria quantistica, da Einstein alla gravità quantistica a loop, la nostra comprensione del tempo ha subito trasformazioni radicali. Il tempo scorre a velocità diverse in luoghi diversi, il passato e il futuro differiscono molto meno di quanto potremmo pensare e la nozione stessa del presente evapora nel vasto universo. Con il suo straordinario fascino e senso di meraviglia, che unisce scienza, filosofia e arte, Carlo Rovelli svela questo mistero. Illuminante e consolante, L'ordine del tempo mostra che per comprendere noi stessi dobbiamo riflettere sul tempo, e per comprendere il tempo dobbiamo riflettere su noi stessi. Tradotto da Simon Carnell ed Erica Segre.

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, Helgoland, Reality Is Not What It Seems and The Order of Time are international bestsellers which have been translated into forty-three languages.
Time is a mystery that does not cease to puzzle us. Philosophers, artists and poets have long explored its meaning while scientists have found that its structure is different from the simple intuition we have of it. From Boltzmann to quantum theory, from Einstein to loop quantum gravity, our understanding of time has been undergoing radical transformations. Time flows at a different speed in different places, the past and the future differ far less than we might think, and the very notion of the present evaporates in the vast universe. With his extraordinary charm and sense of wonder, bringing together science, philosophy and art, Carlo Rovelli unravels this mystery. Enlightening and consoling, The Order of Time shows that to understand ourselves we need to reflect on time -- and to understand time we need to reflect on ourselves.

We are longing for a future that will not come' Time is a mystery that does not cease to puzzle us.
