Book Club: The Order Of Time by Carlo Rovelli - Part 1
Disruptors and curious minds, book lovers, founders, heretics, readers... Welcome to book club. Benjamin Franklin said once you lose it, you’ll never find it again. Theophrastus said it was the most valuable thing you can spend. Pericles said it was the wisest counsellor of all. Oscar Wilde said punctuality steals it away. Turns out they were all wrong. Ladies and gentlemen, Albert Einstein. “The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” Or, “Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute.” Isaac Newton said, “Absolute, true and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature flows equably without relation to anything external.” Aristotle said, “Remember that time slurs over everything, let all deeds fade, blurs all writings and kills all memories. Exempt are only those which dig into the hearts of men by love.” Time really is all we have. And in this months book club, we're talking about it in more detail than we ever thought possible. We're reading: - The Order of Time, by Carlo Rovelli.

Book Club: The Order Of Time by Carlo Rovelli - Part 4, A Lesson In Quantum Mechanics
The surprise episode when I forgot to tell Jeremy our special guest was a quantum physicist! Always fun. Part four of the Order of Time and you join us as we try to make sense of the quantum properties of space and time (which goes as well as you might imagine). What role does quantum gravity play in time? Are they the same thing? What is granularity, and why does it mean time doesn't flow? Hell yeah! What's Planck length? Why does it matter... Superposition of electrons, fine... but superposition of time? The past present and future are just probabilities? WTF? Please enjoy the show as much as we did. =============================== Praise For The Order Of Time Philip Pullman: "Wonderful...
