A realidade não é o que parece

Synopsis of A realidade não é o que parece

What are the elementary ingredients of the world? Do time and space exist? And what is reality exactly? Theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli has spent his life exploring these questions, and in this fascinating book, he recounts how our understanding of reality has changed over the centuries and how physicists view the structure of the universe today. With elegant and accessible prose, Rovelli takes the reader on an extraordinary journey, from Democritus to Einstein, from Michael Faraday to gravitational waves, and from classical physics to his own work in quantum gravity.
