Carlo Rovelli meets David Christian

In this interview renowned theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli chats to David Christian, co-founder of the Big History Project, a whole new approach to understanding the past.

In writing about time at different scales, Rovelli and Christian go on a journey to discover how this has changed the way they view their own experience and place in the universe. From discussing the limits of how we teach history, to sharing their own personal experiences of how living in different countries have shaped their perspective, both authors show what we can learn about human existence when we consider it on a universal scale.

“In Origin Story, David Christian has found a spectacular way to use history to put order in the entire set of our knowledge about the world. This is a wonderful achievement” - Carlo Rovelli
