Carlo Rovelli Quote: “A calculation, in fact, demonstrates that without nodes, physical space has no volume. In other words, it is in the nodes of the graph, not in the lines, that the volume of space “resides.” The lines “link together” individual volumes sitting at the nodes.”

Carlo Rovelli Quote: “Too often scientists sell hypothetical theories to the large public, as if they were established theories. I have seen this often done, for instance, with string theory. I think this is a great mistake, because it questions the credibility itself of science. We scientists live out of public money and it is our duty to be fully honest in reporting what we know and what we do not know. We are paid to dream, but we must not sell our dreams for established realities.”

Carlo Rovelli Quote: “And it is at this point that an extraordinary idea occurred to him, a stroke of pure genius: the gravitational field is not diffused through space; the gravitational field is that space itself. This is the idea of the general theory of relativity. Newton’s “space,” through which things move, and the “gravitational field” are one and the same thing.”

Carlo Rovelli Quote: “All of this, I believe, indicates that in order to grasp the basic grammar of the world, we need to merge three basic ingredients, not just two: not just general relativity and quantum mechanics, but also the theory of heat, that is, statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, which we can also describe as “information theory.”

Carlo Rovelli Quote: “When Einstein objected to quantum mechanics by remarking that “God does not play dice,” Bohr responded by admonishing him, “Stop telling God what to do.” Which means: Nature is richer than our metaphysical prejudices. It has more imagination than we do.”

Carlo Rovelli Quote: “Probability does not refer to the evolution of matter in itself. It relates to the evolution of those specific quantities we interact with.”

175. “Probability does not refer to the evolution of matter in itself. It relates to the evolution of those specific quantities we interact with.”

— Carlo Rovelli

Carlo Rovelli Quote: “What are the elementary “atoms” that vibrate, making a black hole hot? Hawking left this problem unanswered. Loop theory provides a possible answer. The elementary “atoms” of a black hole that vibrate, responsible for its temperature, are the individual quanta of space on its surface.”
