Carlo Rovelli's Radical Perspective on Reality
Theoretical physicist and best-selling author Carlo Rovelli finds inspiration in politics and philosophy to rethink space and time.
Rovelli, affiliated with Aix-Marseille University, studies how we perceive reality from our limited vantage point, saying
"It's all perspectival".
He illustrates this concept by observing pigeons, which bob their heads to stabilize their vision and gauge distances to objects, compensating for their limited binocular vision.
According to Rovelli,
"This is very radical, because you can no longer say, 'This is a list of things in the world, and this is how they are.'"
