Theoretical physicist 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 over the last few dozen centuries.
In elegant and accessible prose, Rovelli takes us on a wondrous journey from Aristotle to Albert Einstein, from Michael Faraday to the Higgs boson, and from classical physics to his own work in quantum gravity. As he shows us how the idea of reality has evolved over time, Rovelli offers readers a deeper understanding of the theories he introduced so concisely in Seven Brief Lessons on Physics. His evocative explanations invite us to imagine, beyond our ever-changing idea of reality, a whole new world that has yet to be discovered.
an Italian theoretical physicist, is the head of the quantum gravity group at the Centre de Physique Théorique of Aix-Marseille Université. He is one of the founders of the loop quantum gravity theory and the author of the international bestseller Seven Brief Lessons on Physics. Rovelli lives in Marseille, France.

Was so touched by the last chapter! 虽然后面真的讲道quantum gravity的时候就读的云里雾里的了，但一整本书读下来还算粗略了解了很多物理研究方向。而且作者的态度好棒！谦逊、好奇、求知欲！这不仅仅是做科学需要的精神，也是做人文科学需要的精神，是追求宇宙真理的人需要的精神！

这个科普更全面，但更喜欢七堂的最后一章

写的很美，虽然有些地方看不懂，但是还是觉得很美，很神秘，人类对未知世界的探索，除了知识和思维缜密外，还需要勇气以及想象力。
