Time

is the future already decided?

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Our two main theories in physics are sending us opposite messages: relativity says the future is entirely laid out and pre-decided, but quantum theory has random events, that are undecided until they happen. Which is true? By the author who discusses his work with Carlo Rovelli in the documentary The Interactions Avenue.

Autorenporträt

In 2019 two of the world's best known physicists, Carlo Rovelli and Neil Turok, became interested in a new theory - after a science documentary maker, Nigel Lesmoir-Gordon, sent them the paper of a British physicist, Jonathan Kerr. It led to long filmed conversations, partly about the new picture of what's going on underneath quantum mechanics, but also about the background theory from which that picture came. There was a Sunday Telegraph article: "Quantum mechanics' greatest puzzle 'solved' in a Surrey cottage". Kerr's first book, The Unsolved Puzzle, went with the online documentary The Interactions Avenue. The same visually beautiful background picture led to solutions for that and several other puzzles, but all the offshoots originally started from a theory of time, and an unexpected new view of the time mystery.
