The instant Sunday Times bestseller a riveting story of rebellion, revolution and science'Carlo Rovelli is a genius and an amazing communicator' Neil Gaiman'A triumph . . . we are left in a world that is not disenchanted by science, but even more magical' Julian Baggini, Financial TimesIn June 1925, twentythreeyearold Werner Heisenberg, suffering from hay fever, had retreated to the treeless, windbattered island of Helgoland in the North Sea in order to think. Walking all night, by dawn he had wrestled with an idea that would transform the whole of science and our very conception of the world.In Helgoland Carlo Rovelli tells the story of the birth of quantum physics and its bright young founders who were to become some of the most famous Nobel winners in science. It is a celebration of youthful rebellion and intellectual revolution. An invitation to a magical place.Here Rovelli illuminates competing interpretations of this science and offers his own original view, describing the world we touch as a fabric woven by relations. Where we, as every other thing around us, exist in our interactions with one another, in a neverending game of mirrors.A dazzling work from one of our most celebrated scientists and master storyteller, Helgoland transports us to dizzying heights, reminding us of the many pleasures of the life of the mind.Translated by Erica Segre and Simon Carnell
