About this listen

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics written and read by Carlo Rovelli. These seven short lessons guide us, with admirable clarity, through the scientific revolution that shook physics in the 20th century and still continues to shake us today.

In this short, playful, entertaining and mind-bending introduction to modern physics, Rovelli explains Einstein's theory of general relativity, quantum mechanics, black holes, the complex architecture of the universe, elementary particles, gravity, and the nature of the mind.

In under 100 pages, readers will understand the most transformative scientific discoveries of the 20th century.

Not since Richard Feynman's celebrated best seller Six Easy Pieces has physics been so vividly, intelligently and entertainingly revealed.

Carlo Rovelli is an eminent physicist with an extraordinary ability to write about complex topics in a lucid, clear prose. His book was top of the best-seller charts in Italy for months and has sold over 200,000 copies since publication in November. He is the head of the Équipe de Gravité Quantique at the theoretical physics department of Aix-Marseille University. It has sold in over a dozen languages.

What an incredible book. Needs a fluent English speaker to give dummies like me less to focus on when trying to understand something so vital

Before diving into the topics in this book, read/listen this brief introduction. I don't understand the complex mathematics and physics behind it but it does not hinder to understand that our observation/brain is limited. This is a brief brain warm-up to digest more than we can observe. Sometimes mr. Rovelli's accent requires attentive listening but it gives a personal dimension when the author narrates himself. Thank you for recording this.
