My guest today is as close to a rockstar of theoretical physics as it's possible to be.

He's a philosopher of science, whose book "Seven Brief Lessons on Physics" has been translated into 41 languages, selling over a million copies worldwide.

His work on the quantum loop theory of gravity has seen him pick up where Einstein left off and features in his new book "White Holes". With prose so lyrical that he could've been a poet if not a physicist, his latest release journeys to where time and space end - the heart of a black hole.

My guest today is Carlo Rovelli.
