Constructor theory is a relatively nascent idea in fundamental physics that proposes to underlie all other currently known theories, not to mention those yet to be known, and to solve problems across a host of fields in science and beyond. Logan Chipkin joins Oxford physicist and constructor theorist Chiara Marletto to discuss what constructor theory is, …
Carlo Rovelli has published his new popularised science book, which opens with a scene discussing physics with other QISS members at Lamma Island, during our day off at the QISS@HongKong launching conference of the QISS project. penguin.co.uk/books/…/helgoland
Chiara Marletto has been featured in the guardian,Chiara Marletto is a research fellow at Wolfson College, University of Oxford.

Quantum weirdness isn’t weird – if we accept objects don’t exist We can grasp the truth about the quantum world, as long as we abandon our most cherished assumption about what’s real and what’s not Further details here
Where does our Universe come from? To this fundamental question, if any, the physicist Carlo Rovelli provides an answer based on a theory that attempts to unify Einstein’s general relativity with quantum mechanics: it would come from a Planck star, a tiny star born during a rebound … from a previous universe. Further details here. …
