These seven 'short lessons' guide us through the scientific revolution that shook physics in the 20th century and still continues to shake us today. Rovelli explains Einstein's theory of general relativity, quantum mechanics, black holes, the complex architecture of the universe, elementary particles, gravity, and the nature of the mind.
