How Quantum Physics Changes the World by Carlo Rovelli Publisher: Zhejiang Science and Technology Press
Description
Introduction
★Carlo Rovelli, the physics mentor of Nolan, the director of the film Oppenheimer, has set off a new wave of popular science reading after "Seven Simple Physics Lessons"! This book was selected for the Blade Book Award Summer List. Recommended by Chen Jiaying and Zhou Lian!
Carlo has been rated by the media as "one of the 100 most influential global thinkers", "the next Stephen Hawking" and "a literary superstar in the field of physics". He uses beautiful, easy-to-understand, vivid metaphors and philosophical language to describe the difficult cosmic theory as interesting as a story, bringing readers a wide range of thoughts.
★Won the Financial Times Best Book of 2021 and the Guardian Best Science Book of 2021!
★“Science is more revolutionary than politics.” Just 200 pages of content will completely revolutionize your “worldview”!
Quantum entanglement is not rare, and all the "reality" we see is woven into this interactive network. Starting from cutting-edge disciplines, we once again use poetic language to subvert our common sense and intuition!
★Highly recommended by dozens of well-known media including Nature, Time, The Guardian, and The New York Times!
★Praised by celebrities from all walks of life including Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Chen Jiaying, Ji Shisan, Li Miao, Huang Lei, and Yang Caiyu!
★The rights to the TV drama adaptation have been sold, and it’s being reported on the headlines of all major newspapers!
In the summer of 1925, on the desolate, remote, north-wind-ravaged island of Heligoland, 23-year-old German youth Werner Heisenberg constructed the "quantum theory" and unveiled the curtain between us and the truth. This great scientific revolution had the power to flatten Hiroshima and Nagasaki in an instant, and also dropped a bomb on the human spirit. When something that was originally indestructible is questioned, new paths will be opened up, allowing us to see further.
From quantum entanglement to the multiverse, after the collapse of the classical physical world, quantum theory reinterprets how we exist in the universe.
