The physicist and bestselling author on the radical politics and drugs of his youth, his life’s work and why we all need a break Carlo Rovelli is professor of physics at Aix-Marseille University. He is a pioneer in research into quantum gravity which seeks to integrate Einstein’s general theory of relativity with quantum mechanics, specifically by removing the idea of time. Rovelli’s slim book _Seven Brief Lessons on Physics_ became an international bestseller last year, outselling _Fifty Shades of Grey_ in his native Italy. His new book, _Reality Is Not What It Seems,_ describes the development of physics from classical Greece to the present day. This interview was conducted on the phone with Rovelli at his home in Marseille. WERE YOU SURPRISED BY THE GREAT SUCCESS OF YOUR BOOK, OF THE APPETITE FOR THEORETICAL PHYSICS? I did not expect it at all. It is translated in 41 languages. I expected just a few thousand copies sold. I think it is because the book offers a perspective on science that also talks about beauty and emotions – I don’t think those things should ever be separated from science. Continue reading...

[A Bitcoin ATM is seen inside a bookstore in Acharnai in northern Athens, Greece June 30, 2015. REUTERS/Dimitris Michalakis ] We’ve entered the most profound era of change for financial services companies since the 1970s brought us index mutual funds, discount brokers and ATMs. No firm is immune from the coming disruption and every company must have a strategy to harness the powerful advantages of the new financial technology (“fintech”) revolution. The battle already underway will create surprising winners and stunned losers among some of the most powerful names in the financial world: The most contentious conflicts (and partnerships) will be between startups that are completely reengineering decades-old practices, traditional power players who are furiously trying to adapt with their own innovations, and total disruption of established technology & processes: * TRADITIONAL RETAIL BANKS VS. ONLINE-ONLY BANKS: Traditional retail banks provide a valuable service, but online-only banks can offer many of the same services with higher rates and lower fees * TRADITIONAL LENDERS VS. PEER-TO-PEER MARKETPLACES: P2P lending marketplaces are growing much faster than traditional lenders—only time will tell if the banks strategy of creating their own small loan networks will be successful * TRADITIONAL ASSET MANAGERS VS. ROBO-ADVISORS: Robo-advisors like Betterment offer lower fees, lower minimums and solid returns to investors, but the much larger traditional asset managers are creating their own robo-products while providing the kind of handholding that high net worth clients are willing to pay handsomely for. As you can see, this very fluid environment is creating winners and losers before your eyes…and it’s also creating the potential for new cost savings or growth opportunities for both you and your company. After months of researching and reporting this important trend, Evan Bakker, research analyst for BI Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service, has put together an essential briefing that explains the new landscape, identifies the ripest areas for disruption, and highlights the some of the most exciting new companies. These new players have the potential to become the next Visa, Paypal or Charles Schwab because they have the potential to transform important areas of the financial services industry like: * Retail banking * Lending and Financing * Payments and Transfers * Wealth and Asset Management * Markets and Exchanges * Insurance * Blockchain Transactions If you work in any of these sectors, it’s important for you to understand how the fintech revolution will change your business and possibly even your career. And if you’re employed in any part of the digital economy, you’ll want to know how you can exploit these new technologies to make your employer more efficient, flexible and profitable. [BII The Fintech Ecosystem]Thomson Reuters Among the big picture insights you’ll get from this new report, titled _THE FINTECH ECOSYSTEM REPORT: MEASURING THE EFFECTS OF TECHNOLOGY ON THE ENTIRE FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY_: * Why financial technology is so disruptive to financial services—it will soon change the nature of almost every financial activity, from banking to payments to wealth management. * The basic conflict will be between old firms and new—startups are re-imagining financial services processes from top to bottom, while incumbent financial services firms are trying to keep up with new products of their own. * Both sides face serious obstacles—traditional banks and financial services firms are investing heavily in innovation, but leveraging their investments is difficult with so much invested in legacy systems and profit centers. * Meanwhile, startups are struggling to navigate a rapidly-changing regulatory landscape and must scale up quickly with limited resources. * The blockchain is a wild card that could completely overhaul financial services. Both major banks and startups around the world are exploring the technology behind the blockchain, which stores and records Bitcoin transactions. This technology could lower the cost of many financial activities to near-zero and could wipe away many traditional banking activities completely. This exclusive report also: * Explains the main growth drivers of the exploding fintech ecosystem. * Frames the challenges and opportunities faced by incumbents and startups. * Breaks down global and regional fintech investments, including which regions are the most significant and which are poised for the highest growth. * Reveals which two financial services are garnering the most investment, and are therefore likely to be transformed first and fastest by fintech * Explains why blockchain technology is critically important to banks and startups, and assesses which players stand to gain the most from it. * Explores the financial sectors facing disruption and breaks them down in terms of investments, vulnerabilities and growth opportunities. * And much more. _THE FINTECH ECOSYSTEM REPORT: MEASURING THE EFFECTS OF TECHNOLOGY ON THE ENTIRE FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY_ is how you get the full story on the fintech revolution.
