一位科学家近乎神秘的沉思，他认为我们正处于理解自我革命的边缘。
在卡洛·罗韦利最新著作的书后索引中，字母“B”下列出了弗朗西斯·培根、蝙蝠、行为主义、亨利·柏格森和大爆炸。
Near-mystical musings from a scientist who believes we are on the brink of a revolution in understanding ourselves Under the letter “B” in the index at the back of Carlo Rovelli’s latest book you will find Francis Bacon, bats, behaviourism, Henri Bergson, and the big bang.
这个引人入胜的小杂集反映了罗韦利迄今为止最具哲学野心的作品的宏大抱负。
罗韦利在马赛领导一个量子引力研究小组，曾为大众读者撰写过多本物理学书籍，其中包括全球畅销书《物理学七堂课》。
他的最新著作试图将学科的原理和理论融入一个更广阔的框架：万物本质统一，以及宇宙深刻的关系性和透视性本质。
This intriguing little miscellany reflects the sweeping ambition of what is perhaps Rovelli’s most overtly philosophical work to date Rovelli, who directs a quantum gravity research group in Marseille, has written several books on physics for the general reader, including the global bestseller Seven Brief Lessons on PhysicsHis latest is an attempt to integrate principles and theories from the discipline into a broader : one of the essential unity of all things, and the profoundly relational and perspectival nature of the universe.
他写道：“电子与心灵、石头与法则、判断与星系在本质上并无不同。它们是相互照亮的概念。”
“Electrons and minds, stones and laws, judgments and galaxies do not essentially differ in nature from one another,” he writes. “They are notions that illuminate each other.”
