Carlo Rovelli

Carlo Rovelli is an Italian theoretical physicist renowned for his work in quantum gravity, a field that seeks to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity. He is a key figure in loop quantum gravity, which proposes that space and time are made up of tiny, discrete chunks rather than being smooth and continuous. Rovelli’s ideas challenge traditional views of reality, suggesting that time may not exist as we think it does. In addition to his scientific contributions, he is also known for writing accessible books that explore the philosophical implications of modern physics.
