summary: the instant sunday times bestseller -- a beautiful story of rebellion and science 'a triumph.

We are left in a world that is not disenfranchised by science, but even more magical' financial times in june 1925, twenty-three-year-old werner heisenberg, suffering from hay fever, had retreated to the treeless, wind-battered island of helgoland in the north sea in order to think.

yürüyerek bütün gece geçirdi, şafak vakti o zaman bir fikirle mücadelenmiş ki bu, tüm bilimi ve bizim kavramımız olan dünyayı dönüştürecek. In helgoland, carlo rovelli tells the story of the birth of quantum physics and its bright young founders who were to become some of the most famous nobel prize winners in science.

it is a celebration of youthful rebellion and intellectual revolution. An invitation to a magical place.

here rovelli illuminates competing interpretations of this science and offers his own original view, describing the world we touch as a fabric woven by relations. Where we, like everything else around us, exist in our interactions with each other, in a never-ending game of mirrors.

a dazzling work from a celebrated scientist and master storyteller, helgoland transports us to dizzying heights, reminding us of the many pleasures of the life of the mind.
