What do the mythical Wilko and two quantic physicists have in common? Their passion for quantum physics, so they meet in a dialogue about it in this brilliant book.
The book "Quantum Rugby: a dialogue between sport and physics" was published in France for the first time and now it is available in Italian.
Etienne Klein and Jean Ilionpoulos – international professors of Quantum Physics- and Jonny Wilkinson get together to explore the casual bounce of a rugby ball and if a drop is partially a sheer chance.
Jonny Wilkinson is one of the greatest rugby players of the century. He was fly-half in the English national team, and during the final match of Rugby World Cup 2003 he was the author of the drop which gave England the victory versus Australia.
It seemed that drop was a chance outcome in a measure, but the champion affirms that chance can be understood and even conditioned in some aspects, in this fascinating chat in the book.
During his career,he was first attracted by Buddhism and helped by its philosophy he could make changes in his vision of the world and face better daily life pressures, then he found out that there were some links between his job and quantum physics.
In his words:"If I kick the ball once, a hundred,a thousand times,in the end I can manage to reproduce the same result in the match and during a training session. And gradually I feel I can control everything".
A dialogue that shows the deepest and the most human side of one of the greatest champions ever, one of the most loved and respected anyway. He was able to give us moments of profound reflection in this book.
He likes to say about himself: "
"I have done things that with no doubt were very beautiful, but that have not worked. And I had to change my idea of perfection: this impossible search provoked me too many problems, I didn't manage to be in peace with myself. The world is beautiful this way.
At present I think it is possible to always reach perfection through intention. This interpretation changes everything: I try to let myself be carried by the desire to do some good to the others and to improve myself. I give everything.
It doesn't matter that I succeed or not, that the ball falls here or there. It is not the important thing".
Enjoy reading this unusual theme!
