Seven brief lessons on physics
Carlo Rovelli (Author), Simon Carnell (Translator), Erica Segre (Translator)
"'Here, on the edge of what we know, in contact with the ocean of the unknown, shines the mystery and the beauty of the world. And it's breathtaking.' In this short, playful, entertaining and mind-bending introduction to modern physics, Rovelli explains Einstein's theory of general relativity, quantum mechanics, black holes, the complex architecture of the universe, elementary particles, gravity, and the nature of the mind. Readers will understand the most transformative scientific revolution that shook physics in the twentieth century, and still continues to shake us today."--Based on Publisher's Website description
