The Order of Time

In The Order of Time, theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli explores how modern physics has transformed our understanding of time. From Einstein’s relativity to quantum gravity, he explains why time flows differently depending on where you are, why the concept of ‘now’ is an illusion, and how the distinction between past and future begins to blur. Clear, concise and grounded in the latest scientific thinking, Rovelli’s book offers a compelling overview of one of physics’ most complex subjects – and what it reveals about our universe, our perception, and ourselves.
