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.

Excellent
A fantastic discussion of fascinating but challenging concepts in physics. The presentations of GR and QM (the two most successful theories in physics) are clear and insightful. LQG (an unestablished but promising candidate to render GR and QM compatible) is presented persuasively. I also enjoyed the narrator’s reading. A thoroughly enjoyable audiobook.
