HELGOLAND Making Sense of the Quantum Revolution

Theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli invites quantum theory novices on an engrossing exploration of his latest work. Narrator David Rintoul embodies the author's zest for sharing all things quanta. His clear, well-paced delivery and rich British baritone further complement Rovelli's accessible writing. Divided into three parts, it becomes a dialogue with listeners, encouraging engagement as key figures and philosophical and quantum concepts are presented. Scientific giants Erwin Schrödinger and Werner Heisenberg, along with Buddhist philosopher Nagarjuna and others, are essential to this examination of a challenging subject. Personal anecdotes and humor are mixed with weighty considerations of equations and existence. Rintoul's performance shares Rovelli's ease with what he knows and what remains for physicists and listeners alike to discover. J.R.T. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2021]
