Carlo Rovelli is theoretically physicist and quantum mechanics is his great love. He argues that the reality does not exist, because the reality we experience arises mainly from the interaction we have with it. We create our reality ourselves, and when we come to see that individual, indivisible parts do not exist and everything around us only takes on meaning through the relationships with other things and events, we also see ourselves differently. That insight prompted Rovelli to become political activism, because our thinking and action is changing the world. He is called the poet of physics.
