O abismo vertiginoso - Um mergulho nas ideias e nos efeitos da fisica quantica by Carlo Rovelli

A physicist writes popular science about Quantum Physics and General Relativity. Do you think it will be a difficult or boring read? It is not. Well written, and pleasure to read.

Good book but definitely not my favorite by this author.

Anaximander, White Holes, Reality is not what it seems & Seven Brief Lessons Physics …..we’re all better reads for me.

I greatly enjoyed reading this book. While a bit out of my comfort zone of topics it was very informative and interesting. The author does an excellent job of describing quanta as he understands it and the translator also did an excellent job of what I can only imagine was a Herculean effort to translate complex terminology at points.

Quite enjoyable but not quite as clear and strong as The Order of Time.

Don’t know if there’s anybody as good at making deep scientific thought/theories as beautiful and approachable as Carlo Rovelli. Shout out to his translators as well. This one didn’t quite grab me like The Order of Time did but I still found it compelling.
