‘Seven Brief Lessons On Physics’, by Carlo Rovelli, is a divulgation physics book that introduces people to the nicest and most modern problems of physics.
As you can imagine, it is divided into seven parts and a preface. The peculiarity of this book is that not only it covers a lot of contemporary theories and conjectures, but they are also explained in a way that everyone can understand their gist.
The scope of this book is to let the people who don’t know anything about modern science become familiar with the most relevant and fascinating contemporary theories. Science, which helps us better understand the world, also shows us that there is a lot we still have to figure out.
Some of the topics it covers are: Relativity Theory, Quantum Physics, time, warm black holes, time and more. It’s like a trip following the milestones that have innovated physics in the XX century. What is the universe’s architecture? What’s the nature of the mind?
To sum up, I recommend this book to people who are curious to gain a wider insight into the big questions about our universe that still have to be answered.
