Publisher's Summary
Winner of the Specsavers Audiobook of the Year 2018.
Penguin presents the audio edition of The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli. The best-selling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics takes us on an enchanting journey to discover the meaning of time.
Time is a mystery that does not cease to puzzle us. Philosophers, artists and poets have long explored its meaning while scientists have found that its structure is different from the simple intuition we have of it. From Boltzmann to quantum theory, from Einstein to loop quantum gravity, our understanding of time has been undergoing radical transformations. Time flows at different speeds in different places, the past and the future differ far less than we might think and the very notion of the present evaporates in the vast universe.
With his extraordinary charm and sense of wonder, bringing together science, philosophy and art, Carlo Rovelli unravels this mystery, inviting us to imagine a world where time is in us and we are not in time.
Critic Reviews
"A global superstar...Rovelli is making the grammar of the universe accessible to a new generation." (Channel 4 News)
"Benedict Cumberbatch's warm, resonant voice makes him a very fine narrator." (The Times)
"Cumberbatch possesses a deep and rich voice and reads the text in a precise but unhurried manner, with the result that we feel as if we are getting an exposition by an erudite but gentle teacher." (The New York Times)

Loved it but I might be a lil too *stupid* (not the right word!!!) so had to relisten parts and google quite a lot to understand it fully. Wonderful nevertheless!

Amazing read and great narration by Sherlock!
The author tries to grapple with the single most important question - what is time!? And of course there is no answer but the way he puts forth the science and the philosophy involved makes the book so special. I'll have to read /listen again to grasp the complex science and other ideas which even after the author's simplification, remain puzzling for me.

Shakes u up
Systematically Carlo dismantles every brick of our understanding and perception of time.
He effortlessly glides us thru abstract concepts of physics including entropy and quantum nature of space/time. Then he goes on to linking experiences of mystics, writers, philosophers and musicians to this new understanding of what time is not.
Can't imagine anyone else other than Benedict Cumberbatch to read this. He is the only one who can play Dr. Strange afterall !!!

Masterpiece
Scientific, philosophical, and poetical musings of Carlo Rovelli on Time(s) and temporality. This book is an absolute masterpiece. My only complaint is that the author didn't give enough credits to Kant even though his account of time (the common sense time) is nearly identical to that of Kant.
