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 comparing it to a pigeon's behavior, which bobs its head to stabilize vision and gauge distances, compensating for limited binocular vision.
