Book Signing - Carlo Rovelli

For over a decade, Brain Bar has been bringing the planet's leading thinkers to Hungary. This year the authors are signing books with us, authors whose work does more than explain something: it moves you somewhere.

One of the world's most popular and most beloved scientists is signing books with us. Carlo Rovelli is an Italian theoretical physicist and philosopher of science, the creator of loop quantum gravity, the theory that reconciles Einstein's relativity with quantum mechanics. The wider public knows him above all for his books on time and the universe, written in an almost poetic language. According to Rovelli, at the deepest level of physics time does not exist. There is no universal now, no ticking cosmic clock: what we experience as the passing of time is a consequence of interactions between things and of entropy. The world is not made of things but of relations and events. Seven Brief Lessons on Physics opens up exactly this way of thinking, in a book you can read in a single afternoon. A scientist who never stops questioning the settled dogmas of science, and who talks about the most complex questions as if he were telling a story over a glass of wine. Come with a question.
