The Order of Time is physics, relativity, measurement and sciences book which contains the seven authentic and brief lessons on time as well as on physics. Carlo Rovelli is the author of this outstanding book. He served in the theoretical physics and author is also the founder of loop quantum gravity. The author raised the mysterious question at the beginning of the book like why we don’t remember the future like we do remember our pasts. What is the reality of time, are we exist in time or time exists in us? Why time continues and how to stop it? These are the questions which every of the philosopher and physician has in its mind. For people like us, we did not give much attention to time and these are quite mysterious questions for us to ponder. The whole universe is experiencing time but the more scientists experience then it becomes complex for us to understand. According to common people, it continues the speed of moving from present to future and that’s it. Carlo Rovelli gives the theory of quantum gravity. He explains how quantum gravity helps us to understand the nature around us including our emotions and brain power while making certain decisions in our life. This is a must-have book for every science student who finds interest in knowing about the complexities of time.

“Seven Brief Lessons on Physics” is a comprehensive book to anyone interested in physics. Carlo Rovelli is the author of this classic book. Carlo does a great job of explaining a very complicated subject. The ending is very thought-provoking and philosophical. These seven brief lessons about physics are interesting, enlightening, and (more or less) accessible to non-scientists. The author, Carlo, is a theoretical physicist with great enthusiasm for his subject matter. Carlo recounts the achievements of Albert Einstein in such a way that gives the educated, non-physicist reader a wonderful window to the changes brought by Einstein when he made one of the spaces and gravitational field and showed how time itself “curves”. Explaining the discontinuous quality of radiant energy, the notion of quanta is explored and he teaches us that reality is in fact interactions. The universe is discussed in the Cosmos section where the Big Bang theory is presented. He introduces us to one of the theories that strive to unite general relativity with quantum mechanics. You will also learn how probability is linked with the notion of temperature. His final chapter dwells on our species, and our continuous drive to understand ourselves and the world we briefly inhabit as individuals. Possibly his Latin roots are responsible for the light and poetic quality of the book even when dealing with such a difficult subject as the foundation theories of physical science. But he can amaze the reader. In summary, Rovelli succeeds in providing the public with an excellent appetizer of modern physics. Seven brief lessons in physics by Carlo Rovelli is truly a treasure. It provides the reader with a basic understanding of cosmology today in less than 100 pages. It explains general relativity, quantum theory, and modern cosmology the origins of the universe. This is a great first book to read on the subject. This book is excellent; beautifully succinct, yet loaded with a punch. There is no fluff here. Every page is a gem. It is a description of our core understanding of physics for everyone. Not only for those, as the author opens, who know little or nothing about modern science. True, it is written for that audience. And it succeeds very well for that audience. But this is also a great book even for those who know a lot about modern science. Engineers. Scientist. Physicist. All will come away richer after reading this book. It is truly a book for everyone.

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 different speeds 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, inviting us to imagine a world where time is in us and we are not in time.

From the best-selling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics comes a new book about the mind-bending nature of the universe.What are time and space made of? Where does matter come from? And what exactly is reality? Scientist Carlo Rovelli has spent his whole life exploring these questions and pushing the boundaries of what we know. Here he explains how our image of the world has changed throughout centuries. From Aristotle to Albert Einstein, Michael Faraday to the Higgs boson, he takes us on a wondrous journey to show us that beyond our ever-changing idea of reality is a whole new world that has yet to be discovered.
