  • The instant Sunday Times bestseller -- a riveting story of rebellion, revolution and science'Carlo Rovelli is a genius and an amazing communicator' Neil Gaiman'A triumph . . . we are left in a world that is not disenchanted by science, but even more magical' Julian Baggini, Financial TimesIn June 1925, twenty-three-year-old Werner Heisenberg, suffering from hay fever, had retreated to the treeless, wind-battered island of Helgoland in the North Sea in order to think. Walking all night, by dawn he had wrestled with an idea that would transform the whole of science and our very conception of the world. In Helgoland Carlo Rovelli tells the story of the birth of quantum physics and its bright young founders who were to become some of the most famous Nobel winners in science. It is a celebration of youthful rebellion and intellectual revolution. An invitation to a magical place. Here Rovelli illuminates competing interpretations of this science and offers his own original view, describing the world we touch as a fabric woven by relations. Where we, as every other thing around us, exist in our interactions with one another, in a never-ending game of mirrors.A dazzling work from one of our most celebrated scientists and master storyteller, Helgoland transports us to dizzying heights, reminding us of the many pleasures of the life of the mind.

Quantum Theory Editorial Review

"Helgoland" by Carlo Rovelli is a book that delves into quantum physics and explores its implications for everyday life. The book starts by outlining the basics of quantum theory in a simple and accessible way, before moving on to discuss its more complex and philosophical implications. Rovelli's wide-ranging knowledge of literature, science, and philosophy is on full display as he explores the strange properties of reality as disclosed by quantum theory and advocates for a relational interpretation of quantum mechanics. The book has received mixed reviews from readers. Some have found it to be a fascinating and insightful read, learning a lot about quantum physics, while others have found it confusing and overly speculative. Some have praised Rovelli's writing style, while others have criticized it as pretentious and self-indulgent. The book may not be for everyone, but it is certainly worth the effort for those interested in quantum physics and its implications.
