Spinfoam tunneling of quantum geometries in angle variables
Pietro Donà, Hal M. Haggard, Carlo Rovelli +2
Tunneling processes offer a promising path for finding signatures of quantum gravity. While tunneling of geometry has long been recognized in the literature, few detailed analyses…
Disentangling Boltzmann brains, the time-asymmetry of memory, and the second law
David Wolpert, Carlo Rovelli, Jordan Scharnhorst
Are your perceptions, memories and observational data, a statistical fluctuation out of the thermal equilibrium of the universe, having no correlation with the actual past state of…
Can Alice do science and have friends, in a relational quantum world? Solipsism and Relational Quantum Mechanics
Carlo Rovelli
I discuss recent claims according to which relational understandings of quantum physics would undermine the credibility of science.
Boltzmann Bridges
Jordan Scharnhorst, David Wolpert, Carlo Rovelli
It is often stated that the second law of thermodynamics follows from the condition that at some given time in the past the entropy was lower than it is now. Formally, this conditi…
Why you do not need to worry about the standard argument that you are a Boltzmann brain
Carlo Rovelli, David Wolpert
Are you, with your perceptions, memories and observational data, a Boltzmann brain, namely a fleeting statistical fluctuation out of the thermal equilibrium of the universe? Argume…
Princeton seminars on physics and philosophy
Carlo Rovelli
These are lectures notes prepared for a series of seminars I am invited to give at Princeton Philosophy Department in November 2024. They cover the conceptual structure of quantum…
