Podcast appearances and mentions of Carlo Rovelli

Piše Iztok Ilich, bere Jure Franko. Nova knjiga Jerneja Ščeka, vsestransko dejavnega tržaškega Slovenca, filozofa, esejista, prevajalca in publicista, bralca, bralko pozdravi s kar šestimi nagovori. Na uvodnih straneh se oglašata urednica knjige Martina Kafol in Ali Žerdin, urednik Sobotne priloge Dela, kjer so bili Ščekovi intervjuji, nekateri zaradi prostorskih omejitev časnika nekoliko skrajšani, najprej objavljeni. Na zavihkih platnic nagovarjata Marko Kravos in Nataša Konc Lorenzutti na hrbtu knjige pa z nekaj besedami še Zdravko Duša in Igor Škamperle! Še več iz fotografij in pogovorov sestavljenih portretov šteje galerija uglednih sodobnih italijanskih književnikov, filozofov, zgodovinarjev, psihologov in družboslovcev ter ob njih tudi uspešnežev na povsem drugih področjih. Po izidu prve, medtem že ponatisnjene knjige Kavarna Italija Ščekovi vljudni, sproščeni, poznavalski in suvereni premišljeni dialogi z izbranimi sogovorniki in sogovornicami niso več presenečenje. Osupljivo je morda le to, da je mlademu avtorju v letih 2022–24 uspelo zaokrožiti pogovore ali dopisovanja s še petintrideseterico uglednih raziskovalcev, premišljevalcev in ocenjevalcev kulturnega in političnega dogajanja v današnji Italiji in po svetu. Prva v knjigo Kavarna odprta vstopita zagovornika alpinizma kot umetnosti bistvenega in nasprotnika komercializacije. Ona, Nives Meroi iz Lombardije, on, Roman Benet iz okolice Trbiža – prva zakonca z osvojenimi vsemi štirinajstimi osemtisočaki. Zgodba, močna kot dvojina, kot skupnost dveh, ki se kot eno prebijata naprej, strne Šček. S psihiatrinjo Chiaro Caprì se je Šček pogovarjal o pripadnikih mafijskih združb, ki imajo, kot je razkrila ob preučevanju zapornikov, izrazite sociopatske poteze. Mafija obstaja, a je obenem nikjer ni, najbolj zastrašujoče pa je, da lahko pradavni modeli nadzorovanja ozemlja, strukture in oblikovanja oblasti preživijo v dobi socialnih omrežij. Igiaba Scego, Rimljanka somalskega rodu, pravi, da pisanje v dveh jezikih, ki sta se do včeraj sovražila, doživlja kot dejanje literarne dekolonizacije. In pripominja, da je vsaka vojna bratomorna, saj človek kolje sočloveka. Enako meni tudi svoj čas bojevit zagovornik nadstrankarskega komunizma, teoretični fizik in prevajalec izvirnih biblijskih knjig Carlo Rovelli, ki je med jugoslovansko vojno s tovornjakom vozil pomoč vsem vpletenim etničnim skupnostim. »To je bilo hudičevo delo,« se spominja. »Brat je moril brata, da bi dokazal, da je drugačen.« Pedagog Christiano Raimo je postal učitelj zato, ker verjame, da sta vzgoja in izobraževanje vrhunec slehernega kulturništva in da je od tega vprašanja odvisno vse življenje. Capinski kapitalizem, povzema, si z omejevanjem sredstev javnemu šolstvu sam koplje grob. S pisateljem in novinarjem Antoniom Scuratijem se je Šček pogovarjal o njegovih dokumentarnih romanih, v katerih analizira pojav Mussolinija in fašizma, ter neizprosno razbija mit o Italijanih, dobrih ljudeh. Fašizem se v zborniku pojavi še dvakrat. Najprej v pogovoru z zgodovinarjem Emiliom Gentilejem, ki fašizem že petdeset let preučuje z iskanjem in kritično analizo zgodovinskih virov, torej z uporabo golih dejstev, kot jih je ob upoštevanju kategorij zgodovinskega razuma mogoče dokumentirano rekonstruirati. Pri tem se posebej ukvarja z organizacijsko, kulturno in institucionalno razsežnostjo, ki odsevajo bistvo tega totalitarizma. Zgodovino fašizma in z njim odpora, osvobodilnega gibanja in Jugoslavije 20. stoletja raziskuje tudi precej mlajši Eric Gobetti. Ugotavlja, da se v Italiji vedno znova srečuje s protipartizansko ali protijugoslovansko interpretacijo dejstev, pri čemer so problem tudi sama dejstva. O njih se brezsramno laže. »Največji problem so tisti,« je prepričan Gobetti, »ki zavestno lažejo v brk zgodovinskim dognanjem. To ni politizacija, temveč ideologizacija zgodovine!« Filozof evolucije Telmo Pievani v nemara najbolj vznemirljivem dialogu zavrača idejo človeške zgodovine kot linearno napredujoče puščice od sključene opice do pokončnega prvaka intelektualnega in telesnega razvoja. Po novih odkritjih so Zemljo naseljevale in ena ob drugi sobivale različne človeške vrste, tudi neandertalci, za prevlado najbolj selivskega sapiensa pa je bil odločilen jezik. Pievani prisega na znanost in srečna naključja, ki vodijo do velikih odkritij in svari pred priganjanjem k takojšnjim rezultatom. Zanj je najstrašnejši sovražnik tega časa algoritem, orodje spletnega tržišča, ki uporabnika ne sooča z novimi odkritji, temveč vzgaja generacijo konformistov. »Če pogledate, kaj se dogaja z vidika človeških možganov,« pojasnjuje Ščeku, »boste spoznali, da nazadujemo v starodavne plemenske skupnosti.« Šele predvčerajšnjim smo vstopili v ta potencialno vsevedni krasni novi svet, poln priložnosti in informacij, »v dveh desetletjih pa se s socialnimi omrežji znajdemo z otroki, ki se zapirajo v mehurčke enako mislečih in čutečih, enakih okusov in vrednot,« med katerimi je drugačnež avtomatično čudak, odpadnik. Tej perverzni logiki digitalnega pobarbarjenja se moramo upreti, sklene Pievani. Med zanimivejšimi sogovorniki velja vsaj opozoriti še na enega posebneža. Na Michaeleja Recha, bolj znanega po psevdonimu Zerocalcare, ki ga Jernej Šček predstavi kot prvo ime italijanskega stripa nove generacije in označi za fenomen kulture, ki mežika popu, da bi poganjala alternativo. Pri tem ne podira le rekordov v nakladah, temveč tudi idejne in politične pregrade. Vsi Ščekovi sogovorniki v knjigi Kavarna odprta so zanimive osebnosti, omenili smo morda le za odtenek zanimivejše ali tiste, ki so ob prvem branju korak bližje od preostalih.

Dean Buonomano runs the Buonomano lab at UCLA. Dean was a guest on Brain Inspired way back on episode 18, where we talked about his book Your Brain is a Time Machine: The Neuroscience and Physics of Time, which details much of his thought and research about how centrally important time is for virtually everything we do, different conceptions of time in philosophy, and how how brains might tell time. That was almost 7 years ago, and his work on time and dynamics in computational neuroscience continues. One thing we discuss today, later in the episode, is his recent work using organotypic brain slices to test the idea that cortical circuits implement timing as a computational primitive it's something they do by they're very nature. Organotypic brain slices are between what I think of as traditional brain slices and full on organoids. Brain slices are extracted from an organism, and maintained in a brain-like fluid while you perform experiments on them. Organoids start with a small amount of cells that you the culture, and let them divide and grow and specialize, until you have a mass of cells that have grown into an organ of some sort, to then perform experiments on. Organotypic brain slices are extracted from an organism, like brain slices, but then also cultured for some time to let them settle back into some sort of near-homeostatic point - to them as close as you can to what they're like in the intact brain... then perform experiments on them. Dean and his colleagues use optigenetics to train their brain slices to predict the timing of the stimuli, and they find the populations of neurons do indeed learn to predict the timing of the stimuli, and that they exhibit replaying of those sequences similar to the replay seen in brain areas like the hippocampus. But, we begin our conversation talking about Dean's recent piece in The Transmitter, that I'll point to in the show notes, called The brain holds no exclusive rights on how to create intelligence. There he argues that modern AI is likely to continue its recent successes despite the ongoing divergence between AI and neuroscience. This is in contrast to what folks in NeuroAI believe. We then talk about his recent chapter with physicist Carlo Rovelli, titled Bridging the neuroscience and physics of time, in which Dean and Carlo examine where neuroscience and physics disagree and where they agree about the nature of time. Finally, we discuss Dean's thoughts on the integrated information theory of consciousness, or IIT. IIT has see a little controversy lately. Over 100 scientists, a large part of that group calling themselves IIT-Concerned, have expressed concern that IIT is actually unscientific. This has cause backlash and anti-backlash, and all sorts of fun expression from many interested people. Dean explains his own views about why he thinks IIT is not in the purview of science - namely that it doesn't play well with the existing ontology of what physics says about science. What I just said doesn't do justice to his arguments, which he articulates much better. Buonomano lab. Related papers The brain holds no exclusive rights on how to create intelligence.

Today we are joined by physicist and philosopher Emily Adlam for her first appearance on Theories of Everything to challenge one of the deepest assumptions in science: that time flows. In this thought-provoking conversation, Adlam presents her “all-at-once” view of physics, where the universe is more like a completed Sudoku puzzle than a film playing forward. We explore the measurement problem in quantum mechanics, the role of the observer, the illusion of causality, and why these foundational questions demand both philosophical clarity and scientific precision.

Einstein's theory of relativity, quantum physics, and finding evidence of black holes — trace the chain of discoveries that led to these breakthroughs and you'll end up with the Italian astronomer and inventor, Galileo Galilei. Renowned Italian theoretical physicist and author Carlo Rovelli says we can learn a lot from Galileo today. He explains how 400 years ago, this renaissance man of science was discovering new facts about the Universe to understand ourselves better — and so are we.

Pep Martorell es director del Barcelona Supercomputing Center, hogar del MareNostrum 5. Sentimos una extraña mezcla de fascinación y temor por las nuevas tecnologías. La ciencia tiene un impacto en el mundo en el que vivimos y la computación del superordenador soluciona problemas que no podemos tan siquiera concebir. Escribió Eduardo Mendoza en su precioso discurso de aceptación del Premio Cervantes que “las vocaciones tempranas son árboles con muchas hojas, poco tronco y ninguna raíz”. Pep, que divulga también en su propio Substack, entró en el campo de la física fascinado por los documentales de Cosmos. Carl Sagan contagió y sigue contagiando a muchos jóvenes en busca de una vocación. Ese hombre, con su pasión por la ciencia, despertó la curiosidad de muchos y mi esperanza es que este podcast haga lo mismo.Quiero dar las gracias a la Cambra de Comerç de Barcelona por haber hecho posible este episodio. Me permitieron grabar en su fantástico ático de Diagonal y no habría podido encontrar un emplazamiento mejor para la charla con Pep. La propuesta de la Cambra es atractiva para todo tipo de perfiles relacionados con el mundo de la empresa y te animo a que explores los eventos que allí organizan. La Cambra quiere ser un punto de encuentro empresarial en la ciudad de Barcelona, facilitando conexiones inesperadas y creando oportunidades en la serendipia que se genera en esos círculos. Siempre la opcionalidad del amigo Taleb, los accidentes positivos de los que te hablo en Kapital.Así narra Stephen Fry el regalo del fuego por parte de Prometeo, en su fantástico libro Los mitos griegos revisitados: “Cuando les mostró a los hombres aquel demonio saltarín y célebre danzarín, de primeras chillaron atemorizados y recularon ante las llamas. Pero la curiosidad pronto superó al miedo y comenzaron a solazarse con aquel nuevo juguete mágico, aquella sustancia, fenómeno..., llamadlo como queráis. Supieron por Prometeo que el fuego no era su enemigo sino un poderoso aliado que, convenientemente domesticado, tenía diez mil millares de usos. Prometeo pasó de una aldea a otra enseñándoles técnicas para fabricar herramientas y armas, cocer cacerolas de arcilla, cocinar carne y hornear masas de cereales, lo que enseguida desencadenó una avalancha de ventajas que supuso la prevalencia del hombre sobre la presa animal, que no podía reaccionar a las lanzas y flechas de punta metálica. No tardó mucho Zeus en bajar la mirada desde el Olimpo y ver puntos de titilante luz naranja salpicando el paisaje a su alrededor. Al instante supo lo que había sucedido. Tampoco hizo falta que le dijesen quién era el responsable. Su ira fue arrebatada y terrible. Jamás se había presenciado una furia tan extrema, tan tumultuosa, tan apocalíptica. Ni siquiera Urano, en su mutilada agonía, había experimentado una rabia tan vengativa. Urano fue vencido por un hijo que le resultaba indiferente, pero Zeus había sido traicionado por el amigo al que más amaba. Ninguna traición podía ser más terrible.”Índice:1:21 Temor ancestral a lo desconocido.8:52 Labatut ve al científico como un poeta.19:10 Mirar en el abismo del conocimiento.27:06 Las bellísimas lecciones de Sagan.30:51 Faltan chicas en las carreras STEM.42:56 La tradición catalana de comprar tecnología en Andorra.51:35 Conferencia en Solvay en 1927.1:03:15 Los misterios del big bang.1:06:58 Hablar de Newton es como hablar de Messi.1:16:51 Un superordenador en una capilla.1:25:58 Ich probiere.1:35:06 AlphaGo.1:41:53 Nobel de Química para el plegado de proteínas.1:45:59 Kasparov contra Deep Blue.1:48:23 Destrucción mutua asegurada.1:59:39 El bosón de Higgs.2:06:31 Misterios por resolver.Apuntes:Cosmos.

A Kello Könyvkultúra Magazin podcast-sorozatának új epizódja Carlo Rovelli (1956- ) A tudomány születése című könyvét és milétoszi Anaximandroszt mutatja be a hallgatóknak. A magazin főszerkesztője, Rácz András és Müllner Nándor kultúrakutató – a könyv segítségével – arra a kérdésre keresi a választ, hogy mit is nevezünk természettudománynak? Ki és miért szakított először az istenek által irányított világ koncepciójával? Mi vezetett el idáig és hogy milyen hosszútávú következményei lettek ennek az emberiség fejlődésére nézve? Rovelli könyve megérteti az olvasóival, hogy miért volt óriási lépés, hogy Anaximandrosz kimondta: a villámlás egy légköri-, a földrengés pedig tektonikai jelenség. Ahogyan arra is rávilágít, hogy miért volt nagy dolog, hogy ezt úgy mondhatta ki, hogy nem kellett az életét féltenie közben. Beszélgetésük során András és Nándor - többek között - a poliszok tudományos életét, kínai csillagászokat és a tanár-diák viszony változásait is érintve próbálják meghozni hallgatóik kedvét a könyv elolvasásához. Bölcsészeknek és az égre föltekintve ábrándozóknak is ajánlja Rovelli könyvét a SAPERE AUDE PODCAST.

Sam Harris speaks with his wife, Annaka Harris, about LIGHTS ON, her ten-part audio documentary exploring the perplexities of consciousness and the cosmos. They discuss the hard problem of consciousness, whether consciousness is fundamental, what split-brain patients can teach us about consciousness, what consciousness being fundamental could mean for the world of physics, and other topics. After Annaka's conversation with Sam, we present an excerpt from LIGHTS ON. Chapter 8: Space and Time features author and science writer George Musser, as well as physicists Lee Smolin and Carlo Rovelli. Annaka draws on their noted expertise to explore some of the most mystifying conclusions in quantum theory, how they may validate certain meditative insights, and the ways in which they challenge our basic understanding of reality. Everyday experience tells us that space fills the universe; that causes have effects across time; that the future exists only as potential; that consciousness is confined to intelligent creatures, rather than fundamental to the very structure of being. These bedrock assumptions, when examined through both modern physics and contemplative practices, prove surprisingly fragile—and the fabric of existence profoundly counterintuitive.   If the Making Sense podcast logo in your player is BLACK, you can SUBSCRIBE to gain access to all full-length episodes at samharris.org/subscribe. Learning how to train your mind is the single greatest investment you can make in life.

Our lives are so rushed, so busy. Always on the clock. Counting the hours, minutes, seconds. Have you ever stopped to wonder: what are you counting? What is this thing, that's all around us, invisible, inescapable, always running out? What is time?Deep Time is a series all about the natural ecologies of time from To The Best Of Our Knowledge and the Center for Humans and Nature. We'll explore life beyond the clock, develop habits of "timefulness" and learn how to live with greater awareness of the many types of time in our lives.Original Air Date: November 18, 2023Interviews In This Hour: Time, loss and the Big Bang — Finding solace in the vastness of space — Carlo Rovelli's white holes, where time dissolvesGuests: Marcelo Gleiser, Marjolijn van Heemstra, Carlo RovelliNever want to miss an episode?

'Vida y obra', lo nuevo de Galder Reguera, significa adentrarse en la comunicación y los silencios de familia, en la herencia emocional que los hijos reciben de los padres, en la huella que dejan amama y aitite, la abuela y el abuelo.Nos visita nuestro hombre de ciencia, Miguel Ángel Delgado, para traernos 'Agujeros blancos, de Carlo Rovelli, publicado por Anagrama. Un ensayo breve, que sin embargo es capaz de abordar uno de los viajes más extremos que uno pueda imaginar: literalmente, nos acompaña al interior de un agujero negro, y nos muestra todo lo que sucede, o incluso lo que nos sucedería a nosotros, en su interior.Y el Premio Nadal nos ha tenido muy pendientes, se entregó anoche en el Palace de Barcelona. El ganador lo ha logrado, podríamos decir, por resolver un enigma: el argentino Jorge Fernández Díaz. Mikel Chillida es nieto del escultor y director de Desarrollo de Chillida Leku, en Hernani, ese lugar mágico del que uno sale diferente a como entra, casi levitando.

In today's episode of Theories of Everything, Curt Jaimungal and Julian Barbour challenge conventional physics by exploring Barbour's revolutionary ideas on time as an emergent property of change, the universe's increasing order contrary to entropy, and the foundational nature of shape dynamics.

A few weeks ago, I released a video about whether string theory's biggest competitor, Loop Quantum Gravity, might have suffered a fatal blow. The video sparked a lively debate across YouTube, with creators like Sabine Hossenfelder and Phil Halpern making reaction videos and Carlo Rovelli even reaching out to me personally, asking me to take it down. Now, I want to clarify the situation and share my perspective on whether Loop Quantum Gravity is truly on its last legs—or if there's more to the story.  Tune in to the Loop Quantum Gravity War! Key Takeaways:  00:00 Intro 01:02 My initial video on loop quantum gravity  03:42 Quick recap of my correspondence with Carlo Rovelli 04:32 The problem with string theory and loop quantum gravity 09:25 Reacting to Sabine's video  13:11 My final thoughts  Additional resources:  ➡️ Check out the videos referenced:

The Book Club has taken a short summer break and will return in September with new episodes. Until then, here's an episode from the archives with the theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli. Carlo joined Sam in March 2023 to discuss his book Anaximander and the Nature of Science and explain how a radical thinker two and a half centuries ago was the first human to intuit that the earth is floating in space. He tells Sam how Anaximander's way of thinking still informs the work of scientists everywhere, how politics shapes scientific progress and how we can navigate the twin threats of religious dogma and postmodern relativism in search of truth.

Quantum theory describes the tiny building blocks that make up everything around us. It has made many successful predictions but could a new, more radical idea help us make better sense of the world around us? Could it even be the answer to creating world peace?Carlo Rovelli is an Italian theoretical physicist and writer behind the relational interpretation of quantum mechanics. His idea suggests that the fundamental building blocks of the universe are not particles or objects as many of us are taught in school, but relationships and interactions between them.In this episode, Rovelli explains why he believes we should all be applying his theory to our everyday lives and relationships. And how it could even help improve international relations. To read about subjects like this and much more, visit newscientist.com. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Abandoning functionalism: Some intuition pumps, published by Alfredo Parra on July 12, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. There seems to be a widely-held view in popular culture that no physicist really understands quantum mechanics. The meme probably gained popularity after Richard Feynman famously stated in a lecture (transcribed in the book "The Character of Physical Law") "I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics", though many prominent physicists have expressed a similar sentiment. Anyone aware of the overwhelming success of quantum mechanics will recognize that the seeming lack of understanding of the theory is primarily about how to interpret its ontology, and not about how to do the calculations or run the experiments, which clearly many physicists understand extremely well. But even the ontological confusion is debatable. With the proliferation of interpretations of quantum mechanics - each varying in terms of, among others, which classical intuitions should be abandoned - at least some physicists seem to think that there isn't anything weird or mysterious about the quantum world. So I suspect there are plenty of physicists who would politely disagree that it's not possible to really understand quantum mechanics. Sure, it might take them a few decades of dedicated work in theoretical physics and a certain amount of philosophical sophistication, but there surely are physicists out there who (justifiably) feel like they grok quantum mechanics both technically and philosophically, and who feel deeply satisfied with the frameworks they've adopted. Carlo Rovelli (proponent of the relational interpretation) and Sean Carroll (proponent of the many-worlds interpretation) might be two such people. This article is not about the controversial relationship between quantum mechanics and consciousness. Instead, I think there are some lessons to learn in terms of what it means and feels like to understand a difficult topic and to find satisfying explanations. Maybe you will relate to my own journey. See, for a long time, I thought of consciousness as a fundamentally mysterious aspect of reality that we'd never really understand. How could we? Is there anything meaningful we can say about why consciousness exists, where it comes from, or what it's made of? Well, it took me an embarrassingly long time to just read some books on philosophy of mind, but when I finally did some 10 years ago, I was captivated: What if we think in terms of the functions the brain carries out, like any other computing system? What if the hard problem is just ill-defined? Perhaps philosophical zombies can teach us meaningful things about the nature of consciousness? Wow. Maybe we can make progress on these questions after all! Functionalism in particular - the position that any information system is conscious if it computes the appropriate outputs given some inputs - seemed a particularly promising lens. The floodgates of my curiosity were opened. I devoured as much content as I could on the topic - Dennett, Dehaene, Tononi, Russell, Pinker; I binge-read Brian Tomasik's essays and scoured the EA Forum for any posts discussing consciousness. Maybe we can preserve our minds by uploading their causal structure? Wow, yes! Could sufficiently complex digital computers become conscious? Gosh, scary, but why not? Could video game characters matter morally? I shall follow the evidence wherever it leads me. The train to crazy town had departed, and I wanted to have a front-row seat. Alas, the excitement soon started to dwindle. Somehow, the more I learned about consciousness, the more confused and dissatisfied I felt. Many times in the past I'd learned about a difficult topic (for instance, in physics, computer science, or mathematics) and, sure, the number of questions would mul...

Hello all you loyal listeners!  We had a minor technical catastrophe when our recording platform became sentient, attemtpted to take over the world, and corrupted several episodes of the show in the process. We have a new recording platform, for our inaugural voyage, we are returning to our favorite popular scientist, Carlo Rovelli to talk about what's on the other end of a black hole.  For our sampling tonight, we are trying Keeper's Heart Irish Bourbon Whisky.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the German physicist who, at the age of 23 and while still a student, effectively created quantum mechanics for which he later won the Nobel Prize. Werner Heisenberg made this breakthrough in a paper in 1925 when, rather than starting with an idea of where atomic particles were at any one time, he worked backwards from what he observed of atoms and their particles and the light they emitted, doing away with the idea of their continuous orbit of the nucleus and replacing this with equations. This was momentous and from this flowed what's known as his Uncertainty Principle, the idea that, for example, you can accurately measure the position of an atomic particle or its momentum, but not both.With Fay Dowker Professor of Theoretical Physics at Imperial College LondonHarry Cliff Research Fellow in Particle Physics at the University of CambridgeAnd Frank Close Professor Emeritus of Theoretical Physics and Fellow Emeritus at Exeter College at the University of OxfordProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Philip Ball, Beyond Weird: Why Everything You Thought You Knew about Quantum Physics Is Different (Vintage, 2018)John Bell, ‘Against 'measurement'' (Physics World, Vol 3, No 8, 1990)Mara Beller, Quantum Dialogue: The Making of a Revolution (University of Chicago Press, 2001)David C.

In this episode of the Books for Men podcast, host Douglas Vigliotti discusses the book The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli. Vigliotti, who admits to having failed a physics class in college, finds the book enjoyable and accessible even for those with little knowledge or interest in physics. He appreciates Rovelli's ability to simplify complex topics without oversimplifying them, making them understandable to a wider audience. Vigliotti is particularly drawn to the book's exploration of time, a subject that fascinates him personally. He praises Rovelli's writing style, which combines scientific and philosophical elements, and highlights some of the book's key insights, such as the concept of impermanence and the idea that the world is a collection of events rather than things. Vigliotti encourages listeners to read the book themselves and shares information on how to support the podcast.If you enjoyed this episode, please consider supporting the podcast.

Carlo Rovelli is no ordinary scientist. With a genius for revealing the mysteries the universe to those of us without his gifts, he is the heir to Hawking, Sagan, and Feynman; and alone among the leaders of theoretical physics, he draws as much upon art, philosophy, and myth as equations and experiments to illuminate the splendour and strangeness of reality. Now he joins one of the UK's preeminent theatre practitioners, the wildly innovative actor, director, and founder of Complicite, Simon McBurney, to explore the most exhilarating questions in science and art.

Carlo Rovelli is one of the world's best known physicists. How much do his remarkable ideas matter to you and me?

Carlo Rovelli is well known as a popularizer of science. His short book, Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, was an international bestseller. I have known Carlo as a physicist ever since he used to visit my Physics Department colleague, Lee Smolin, at Yale, when I was a Professor there. Carlo and Lee were part of a small group of physicists pioneering an idea called ‘Loop Quantum Gravity' as a way to try and unify General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. Less well known among the public than its chief competitor, String Theory, and also less popular among physicists as a whole, Loop Quantum Gravity is nevertheless an equally serious attempt to address the vexing paradoxes associated with of quantizing General Relativity.Black Holes are the place in physics where the various problems of quantum gravity become manifest. If Stephen Hawking was correct, and black holes do completely evaporate through quantum processes that result in the emission of thermal radiation, then it appears that the information about what fell into the black hole in the first place will be forever lost. But this violates a central feature of quantum mechanics, which preserves information. At the same time, the final state of classical black hole collapse involves a singularity of infinite density. Most physicists expect this singularity to be removed in a quantum theory of black holes. Rovelli argues that near the singularity of a black hole quantum processes can change a black hole to be a ‘white hole', the time reversed version of a black hole. While anything that falls into a black hole stays there, everything inside a white hole eventually reappears. If Carlo's ideas were correct, they could go a long way toward potentially resolving black hole paradoxes. It is a big ‘If” however, and I remain skeptical. Nevertheless I wanted to discuss these ideas with Carlo on this podcast for a variety of reasons. First, any such discussion will illuminate a lot about the physics of black holes. Secondly, I think it is useful for laypeople to listen to physicists debate and discuss ideas at the forefront, presenting challenges to each other, being willing to openly question, and doing all of this with a sense of mutual respect. At the same time, because I share Carlo's great interest in both popularizing science, as well as connecting science and culture, I was extremely interested in discussing his motivations and thoughts about these important areas, and I was not disappointed. I hope listeners will find our discussions about science, literature, and politics equally enlightening.

Carlo Rovelli has devoted large parts of his life to explaining to the general public what appears on the surface to be the unexplainable - and his bestselling science books saw him dubbed 'the poet of modern physics'. But the quantum gravity researcher is as comfortable discussing his own work on black holes, as he is talking about recent politics such as the Israel-Palestine conflict, on the grounds that, like in scientific research, every issue has different facets and cooperation is key to finding a solution. Today on Ways to Change the World, Carlo Rovelli tells Krishnan Guru-Murthy about his search for ‘white holes' and how science can bridge different global narratives in the geopolitical arena. Produced by Silvia Maresca

Ian Sample meets the Italian physicist Carlo Rovelli to find out about his cutting-edge research into white holes. A white hole is essentially a time-reversed black hole: a region of spacetime where matter spontaneously appears and explodes outwards. At the moment they are hypothetical objects, so Rovelli explains why he thinks they are worth exploring and reveals how they could explain one of the greatest mysteries of physics.

durée : 00:53:45 - La Terre au carré - par : Mathieu Vidard - Le physicien Carlo Rovelli, initiateur de la théorie de la gravité quantique à boucles nous emmène en voyage dans un trou noir... puis dans un trou blanc.

Our smartphones rule our lives. We love them, we hate them. Somewhere deep down inside, we hope they never go away. But, if recent sales data is to be believed, we are also incredibly bored with smartphones—so bored in fact that we're buying far fewer of them than we used to. This week, we talk about what the future looks like for smartphones. They'll likely get more foldable, their voice features could grow chattier, and they might even come with a chip to recognize AI-generated nonsense and block it like spam. WIRED senior editor and noted techno-grouser Jason Kehe joins our conversation about the future of the phone and the future of our souls. Note: This episode originally aired March 16, 2023. Read the full transcript. Show Notes Read Lauren's interviews with five prominent technologists as they predict the phone's future. The story is part of our WIRED 30 package celebrating our 30th anniversary as a publication. Recommendations Jason recommends Anaximander and the Birth of Science by Carlo Rovelli. Lauren recommends swimming and not podcasting. Mike recommends Why Buddhism Is True by Robert Wright. Jason Kehe can be found on Twitter @jkehe. Lauren Goode is @LaurenGoode.
