The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli
$20.99
Used hardback – Very Good condition. In *The Order of Time*, physicist Carlo Rovelli explores the nature of time through relativity, quantum gravity, and thermodynamics, explaining how time is relative, varies with gravity and speed, and lacks a universal 'now' or inherent direction—appearing as an arrow due to entropy and our limited perspective. He argues the universe consists of events rather than particles, with time emerging from ignorance of microscopic details and human perception shaped by memory and viewpoint.

We use actual 'sold' prices as a benchmark (Trademe, Ebay & Dunbar Slone) We try to price below market average to encourage people to start to resell books as a side hustle!
