I'm a big fan of Carlo Rovelli's books. I don't know if loop quantum gravity is true, but if it is he provides very entertaining and understandable explanations of the ramifications if it does end up being correct. It will have interesting implications for time and human existence, and he isn't afraid to tackle the philosophical portions of it without getting preachy. The Order of Time is my favorite from him.
- vehemenz 3y agoI second this. Helgoland was incredible. More physicists need to be taking relational quantum mechanics seriously. Not so much because it's true—whatever that would mean—but because so many physicists struggle with the intuition and find the interpretation so unsatisfying. Deep down, physicists are metaphysicians at heart, and they need to be shaken to their core if they find something like the many-words interpretation compelling.
