Kirsty Young's castaway is the theoretical physicist, Professor Carlo Rovelli. His book 'Seven Brief Lessons on Physics' became one of the fastest-selling science titles of all time, catapulting him from the world of academia into the global spotlight. Committed to bridging the gap between science and art and making complex scientific issues comprehensible for the lay person, he is currently Professor of Physics at Aix-Marseille University.

Born in Verona, and an only child, he was encouraged to learn, to be independent and dreamed of travelling through space. By the age of 12 his long-standing rebellious streak was visible and he would later interrupt his university career to travel. Now in his early sixties, his academic career has seen him work in Europe and America and among the scientific community he is best known as one of the founders of Loop Quantum Gravity theory.



克斯蒂-杨的弃儿是理论物理学家卡洛-罗维利教授。他的书《物理学的七堂简明课》成为有史以来最畅销的科学书之一，将他从学术界推到了全球瞩目的位置。他致力于弥合科学与艺术之间的差距，使复杂的科学问题为普通人所理解，目前是艾克斯-马赛大学的物理学教授。

他出生在维罗纳，是个独生子，他被鼓励学习、独立，并梦想着在太空中旅行。到12岁时，他长期以来的叛逆性格显露无疑，后来他中断了大学生涯，去旅行。现在他已经60多岁了，他的学术生涯见证了他在欧洲和美国的工作，在科学界，他作为环形量子引力理论的创始人之一最为人所知。
