Seven Brief Lessons on Physics by Carlo Rovelli Book Summary

The New York Times bestseller from the author of The Order of Time and Reality Is Not What It Seems, Helgoland, and Anaximander

“One of the year’s most entrancing books about science.”—The Wall Street Journal

“Clear, elegant...a whirlwind tour of some of the biggest ideas in physics.”—The New York Times Book Review
 
This playful, entertaining, and mind-bending introduction to modern physics briskly explains Einstein's general relativity, quantum mechanics, elementary particles, gravity, black holes, the complex architecture of the universe, and the role humans play in this weird and wonderful world. Carlo Rovelli, a renowned theoretical physicist, is a delightfully poetic and philosophical scientific guide. He takes us to the frontiers of our knowledge: to the most minute reaches of the fabric of space, back to the origins of the cosmos, and into the workings of our minds. The book celebrates the joy of discovery.  “Here, on the edge of what we know, in contact with the ocean of the unknown, shines the mystery and the beauty of the world,” Rovelli writes. “And it’s breathtaking.”

In the point. As the title says, this book will give you the introduction to physics and open your curiosity. Well explained.

Loved this book.. As someone who knows very little about this field, it sparked a fire to learn more! Well written and a great read.

Lovely. Just a lovely little book.

I loved this book. I read this book years ago. This was the first book I ever read about Physics and it was so easy to follow, yet incredibly inspiring. After reading this book I was completely infatuated with the subject.

Very brief review. So short it should be free.

Jewel of a book!. This book not only explains the big, complicated concepts in physics in language laymen can understand, but calls us to be more fully and truly who and what we are at the same time! Love the humanizing inclusion of philosophy and literature here. A real jewel of a book!

Quick peek in to world of Physics. One of the best books to catch upon everything that happened and is happening in the world of Physics - thoroughly enjoyed it.

Loved this book!. Highly recommend this book!

Interesting read. A great book on the broad lessons that physics had taught us this far.

Not for enthusiasts. VERY short and doesn't go in depth at all. If you lived under the proverbial rock, it's a great introduction. However if you are like me and love reading about this stuff online and loosely follow physics, there is nothing new.

Inaccurate. I feel compelled to write a review. I thought this book will give me some ideas on how to explain complex concepts in simple words, but I was stunned by the factual inaccuracy. Didn't get beyond the first lesson. For example, the author says that Einstein became a renowned scientist right after publishing his first papers with multiple offers from prestigious universities. This couldn't be more untrue. I understand that this book is not Einstein's biography, but I feel disturbed that such factual simplification and inaccuracy was allowed to get published. Do not recommend this book, especially for younger readers.

Better Science Than Philosophy. Yet another scientific author compelled to conclude with a political lecture, and another example of how a good scientist often makes for a bad philosopher.

A quick fun read. Even if you are an enthusiast for the sciences, this is still a wonderful read. The Haters who gave this book a 1 ⭐️ are obviously intimated by it, otherwise something less than 5 stars might be appropriate. To those who did; Your Low Self Esteem is Showing

Chemistry of cooking 101. Nice touch of spices blended smoothly into the recipe of life, time and space. Now into the oven you go!

A brief history of physics. A great short read covering the most important achievements in physics

Underwhelmed. "Brief lessons"....more like barely existent lessons. Can't believe this is a best seller!

Poor lessons.....arrogant author. Anyone hoping to read this book and pick up meaningful knowledge on the world of physics will quickly realize the author is more interested with himself rather than teaching his readers meaningful lessons about science.
