Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of Reality is Not What it Seems by Carlo Rovelli, read by Roy McMillan.

From the best-selling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics comes a new book about the mind-bending nature of the universe

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook book edition of Reality is Not What it Seems by Carlo Rovelli, read by Roy McMillan.

What are time and space made of? Where does matter come from? And what exactly is reality? Scientist Carlo Rovelli has spent his whole life exploring these questions and pushing the boundaries of what we know. Here he explains how our image of the world has changed throughout centuries. From Aristotle to Albert Einstein, Michael Faraday to the Higgs boson, he takes us on a wondrous journey to show us that beyond our ever-changing idea of reality is a whole new world that has yet to be discovered.

An illuminating read - connects the basics of science to quantum. A touch of human belief at the end evokes thinking.

This is my First Book where I came to know about concepts in the order of their discovery or realisation from the respective scientist...

Loved it to the Core

A chronological account of progress of science from 500BC till today. From theories immersed in poetry to quantum gravity.

My take away is that Time is heat. Space is a foam. Universe is granular. We know a lot, yet we know nothing!

Must read for every science and spirituality aspirant
