" 😳drink a gallon of gasoline, it has 31,000 calories😋" a review of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics by Carlo Rovelli

For this blog I will want to talk about a book that introduced science to me, a special type of sciences physics. 

This book taught me many things not only physics but also a lot of common sense. The book is decided in 7 chapters that describe 7 different rules of physics. I will be doing a simple review of each with out really giving any type of info so you can read it. 😉

1.The Most Beautiful of Theories: This chapter introduces general relativity, and its impact on how we see and understand gravity and spacetime. The author also describes how Einstein's theories transformed the concept of gravity from a force that is apply to the bending of space. The author also highlights the beauty and elegance of some equations such as Riemann's equations, which describe some fundamental aspect of gravity. This understanding reveals the intricate relationship between mass, energy, and the geometry of the universe.

2.Particles: Rovelli discusses the building blocks of matter, explaining the fundamental particles and the forces that make these particles interact. He also remarks the model of particle physics and does into the mysterious nature of particles, illustrating how they are both particles and waves. This chapter emphasizes the complexity and connection of the microscopic world, as particles can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behaviors, depending on how they are observed.

3. The Architecture of the Cosmos: This chapter explores the structure of the universe, from galaxies to the cosmic web. Rovelli talks black holes and the expansion of the universe, explaining how these elements shape our understanding of the cosmos. He paints a picture of a dynamic universe, highlighting the interplay between matter, energy, and space.

4.Time: Rovelli enters into the nature of time, challenging the conventional notion of it as a linear progression. He discusses how time is intertwined with space and how our view of it is influenced by various factors, such as gravity. The chapter yaps about the relativity of time, suggesting that it is more complex than we often think of.

5.Quantum Mechanics: This chapter presents the weird world of quantum mechanics, where particles behave in rare ways. He explains concepts such as superposition and entanglement, illustrating how they challenge our classical understanding of reality. He conveys the strangeness of the quantum realm and its implications for our view of existence.

6.The Total Number of Things: Rovelli explores the philosophical implications of physics, particularly concerning the nature of reality and the role of the observer. He discusses how the act of observation influences the behavior of particles and challenges the idea of an objective reality. This chapter invites readers to reflect on the meanings behind scientific discoveries. This is the reason scientists can never be "100%" sure of something.

7.Ode to the Future: In the last chapter, Rovelli reflects on the future of physics and the ongoing quest for knowledge. He makes sure to express the importance of curiosity and the meaning of understanding as a main characteristic of the human experience. He leaves readers with a sense of wonder, encouraging the reader to embrace the mysteries of the universe and the ongoing journey of discovery.

    in conclusion, Rovelli yaps a lot about physics, but he manages to add a deeper meaning to this simple physics book. Rovelli manages to connect a reader's emotions and thoughts into the book as if he expected the reader to think the same thing. He also empathizes a lot with the process of learning in humans and how there are many things that we will never be able to understand.

thanks for reading.
