Summary

I love doing podcasts, cause when the guest comes on, I get to ask all sorts of questions, and the guests are obligated to answer them! The same goes with this episode! In this episode, I have Carlo Rovelli, an Italian theoretical physicist, and a writer, who also wrote the Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, which outsold the Fifty Shades of Grey, on to talk about his new book, Helgoland: Making Sense of the Quantum Revolution. We talked about the whole history of the Quantum Revolution and everything physics and science. My new book Skip The Line is out! Make sure you get a copy wherever you get your new book! Join You Should Run For President 2.0 Facebook Group, and we discuss why should run for president. I write about all my podcasts! Check out the full post and learn what I learned at jamesaltucher.com/podcast. Thanks so much for listening!

0:06.8	This is the James Altiger Show.
0:12.8	Today on the James Altiger Show.
0:15.9	Carlo Revelli is one of the most amazing writers and beautiful writers of physics that I have
0:22.7	ever read and I've ever met.
0:24.6	He's written a book, Helgo Land, which is about the whole history of the quantum mechanics
0:30.4	revolution.
0:31.6	And I think honestly during this podcast we created a unified theory which unified classical
0:37.1	physics with quantum mechanics.
0:39.2	You guys can decide.
0:41.0	One thing I thought was interesting about his last book, Seven Breath Lessons on Physics,
0:44.5	or actually this was two books ago, it was such a well written book about the deep questions
0:49.2	of science that it actually outsold 50 shades of gray in Italy, which is certainly an amazing
0:56.1	accomplishment that a book about physics would outsell a book about highest selling soft
1:02.4	pornography book in history.
1:04.5	But I learned so much in this podcast and from reading his book about I've never really
1:09.2	understood what quantum mechanics is and what the issues were.
1:13.8	And now I have a much tighter grasp of it.
1:16.8	Here's Carlo Revelli, one of the most prominent writers and physicists of this generation.
1:24.4	Carlo Revelli and I'll do an intro later.
1:34.9	But first thing I want to say, you wrote this great book Seven Breath Lessons on Physics
1:39.0	several years ago and now you have a new book out Helgo Land, which is all about quantum
