ROVELLI CARLO

Η ΤΑΞΗ ΤΟΥ ΧΡΟΝΟΥ
Ο συγγραφέας των "Επτά σύντομων μαθημάτων φυσικής" μάς ξεναγεί σε ένα γοητευτικό ταξίδι στα βάθη του νοήματος του χρόνου. «Είμαστε χρόνος. Είμαστε αυτός ο χώρος, αυτό το ξέφωτο που αποκαλύπτεται χάρη στα ίχνη της μνήμης στις συνδέσεις ανάμεσα στους νευρώνες μας. Είμαστε μνήμη. Είμαστε νοσταλγία. Ποθούμε ένα μέλλον που δε θα έρθει». Ο χρόνος είναι ένα μυστήριο που δε σταματά να μας σαστίζει. Φιλόσοφοι, καλλιτέχνες και ποιητές εξερευνούν από παλιά το νόημά του ενώ οι επιστήμονες έχουν ανακαλύψει ότι η δομή του διαφέρει από τις απλές διαισθητ...

ΕΠΤΑ ΣΥΝΤΟΜΑ ΜΑΘΗΜΑΤΑ ΦΥΣΙΚΗΣ
"Η πραγματικότητα δεν είναι αυτή που φαίνεται" λέει ο Ιταλός φυσικός Carlo Rovelli, που σε επτά απλά και σύντομα μαθήματα μας μυεί στα μυστήρια της ύλης και του σύμπαντος. Ποια είναι άραγε η ωραιότερη θεωρία; Τι είναι ο χώρος; Τι είναι τα στοιχειώδη σωματίδια; Πώς είναι κατασκευασμένο το σύμπαν; "Όλα είναι φυσική" συνηθίζουν να λένε οι άνθρωποι των θετικών επιστημών. Διαβάζοντας τα μαθήματα του Carlo Rovelli, θα συμφωνήσουμε κι εμείς. Η φυσική μας δίνει απαντήσεις όχι μόνο για τα άστρα και τους γαλαξίες, αλλά και για την ίδια μας την αν...

(P/B) THE ORDER OF TIME
The bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics takes us on an enchanting, consoling journey to discover the meaning of time. 'We are time. We are this space, this clearing opened by the traces of memory inside the connections between our neurons. We are memory. We are nostalgia. We are longing for a future that will not come' 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 hav...

(P/B) REALITY IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS
Do space and time truly exist? What is reality made of? Can we understand its deep texture? Scientist Carlo Rovelli has spent his whole life exploring these questions and pushing the boundaries of what we know. In this mind-expanding book, he shows how our understanding of reality has changed throughout centuries, from Democritus to loop quantum gravity. Taking us on a wondrous journey, he invites us to imagine a whole new world where black holes are waiting to explode, spacetime is made up of grains, and infinity does not exist -- a vast ...

(H/B) HELGOLAND
In June 1925, twenty-three-year-old Werner Heisenberg, suffering from hay fever, had retreated to the treeless, wind-battered island of Helgoland in the North Sea in order to think. Walking all night, by dawn he had wrestled with an idea that would transform the whole of science and our very conception of the world. In Helgoland Carlo Rovelli tells the story of the birth of quantum physics and its bright young founders who were to become some of the most famous Nobel winners in science. It is a celebration of youthful rebellion and intell...

We are longing for a future that will not come." 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 radic...

(P/B) ANAXIMANDER
Carlo Rovelli, a leading theoretical physicist, uses the figure of Anaximander as the starting point for an examination of scientific thinking itself: its limits, its strengths, its benefits to humankind, and its controversial relationship with religion. Anaximander, the sixth-century BCE Greek philosopher, is often called the "first scientist" because he was the first to suggest that order in the world was due to natural forces, not supernatural ones. He is the first person known to understand that the Earth floats in space; to believe th...
