Rovelli’s concise, playful explorations of modern physics have illuminated complex scientific theories for millions of readers – from Einstein's theory of relativity to quantum mechanics. His bestselling books, Seven Brief Lessons on Physics and The Order of Time, invite us into the deepest corners of the universe, while challenging what we thought we knew about time and space.
Rovelli was in conversation with comedian Dara Ó Briain, who has a degree in mathematics and theoretical physics, and has presented several BBC programmes including Stargazing Live.
