Abstract
Bernard d’Espagnat. We welcome today Carlo Rovelli, who has kindly accepted to speak to us about his book Quantum Gravity. Carlo has already participated several times in our discussions; consequently we are familiar with his very novel ideas on quantum mechanics. We are delighted to have the opportunity to hear him speak about his ideas, not unrelated to the former, on cosmology. So without further ado, I give him the floor.
