"Lessons" and "physics" are in the title, but don't panic. Although Carlo Rovelli is a high-powered theoretical physicist, he doesn't lecture the reader. He shares his understanding of the strange universe of modern physics as a man steeped in philosophy and with poetry in his soul.

Carlo Rovelli on General Relativity:
Quote
The theory describes a colourful and amazing world where universes explode, space collapses into bottomless holes, time sags and slows near a planet, and the unbounded extensions of interstellar space ripple and sway like the surface of the sea.

Carlo Rovelli on what we know of matter:
Quote
A handful of types of elementary particles, which vibrate and fluctuate constantly between existence and non-existence and swarm in space even when it seems that there is nothing there, combine together to infinity like letters of a cosmic alphabet to tell the immense history of galaxies, of the innumerable stars, of sunlight, of mountains, woods and fields of grain, the smiling faces of the young at parties, and of the night sky studded with stars.

Carlo Rovelli on "Ourselves":
Quote
Here on the edge of what we know, in contact with the ocean of the unknown, shines the mystery and the beauty of the world. And it is breathtaking.
