Publishers Synopsis

THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

One of TIMEs Ten Best Nonfiction Books of the Decade

Captivating, fascinating, profoundly beautiful. . . Rovelli is a wonderfully humane, gentle, and witty guide for he is as much philosopher and poet as he is a scientist John Banville

We are time. We are this space, this clearing opened by the traces of memory inside the connections between our neurons. We are memory. We are nostalgic. We are longing for a future that will not come

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 a different speed 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. Enlightening and consoling, The Order of Time shows that to understand ourselves we need to reflect on time -- and to understand time we need to reflect on ourselves.

Translated by Simon Carnell and Erica Segre
