Witness the remnants of a star, dense and distant, as we plummet further into the unknown. And at last, behold the birth of a white hole, where time and space cease to exist.<br /><br />Renowned for his groundbreaking research in quantum gravity and his contributions to loop quantum gravity, a theoretical framework that seeks to reconcile general relativity and quantum mechanics, Carlo will unveil the uncertainty and exhilaration of venturing into uncharted territory.<br /><br />Carlo has authored several highly influential scientific papers on loop quantum gravity, and has written several popular books that bring his research to the wider public. His book "Seven Brief Lessons on Physics" became an international bestseller, introducing readers to key concepts of modern physics.<br /><br />Carlo Rovelli is an Italian theoretical physicist, philosopher and writer who has worked in Italy, the United States and, since 2000, in France. His research is focused mainly in the field of quantum gravity and is a founder of loop quantum gravity theory. Carlo is currently head of the quantum group at the Centre de Physique Theorique at Aix-Marseille University, a Distinguished Visiting Research Chair at the Perimeter Institute, and core member of the Rotman Institute of Philosophy of Western University. As a writer, Carlo became a household name after the success of his books ‘Seven Brief Lessons on Physics’ and ‘Reality is Not What It Seems’.<br /><br />( WE DO NOT OWN THIS DOCUMENTATION SHOW MOVIE CLIP AT ALL CREDIT GOES TO THE ORIGINAL AND RIGHTFUL OWNERS, WE ARE MERELY SHARING FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY! )<br />We exclusively report material that is NOT our property and exclusively for the purpose of stimulating discussion.
