具体描述
The bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics takes us on an enchanting, consoling journey to discover the meaning of time
'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 nostalgia. 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.

读后感
一 我记得在多伊奇的《无穷的开始》中说，如果宇宙最初的参数稍微调整，就不会有生命的产生。也就是说，宇宙的存在方式，在物理上有多种可能。但是大部分可能的宇宙，都无法诞生生命。这或许会给人一种非常特别的感觉，类似于你、我和其他每一个人的存在。可以类比一下，你的出...
评分 评分 评分以下文字基本与此书无关，仅仅是记录一下个人的心情。 高考考物理那天，我对自己的发挥还是比较满意的，一共只错了三个小题。跟考数学时不同，我可以欣然接受物理有很多题我会做错，且这三个小题都是我一看到就认为“毫无做对希望”的。也就是说，该拿的分全都拿到了。而从此之...

AudioBook read by Benedict Cumberbatch. My heart aches for the beauty of your voice!
评分高阶认知的颠覆性书籍
评分Written so romantically
评分文字真的很美也很哲学 其实写的很简单了可是我还是看的有点晕乎乎
评分This opens my mind so much! Got confused in the middle but it all came together in the end. Physical time in general and thermal time/the flow of time we perceive co-exist (or, the latter is a special perspective of the former).
