“Be prepared to deal with some equations-and to have your mind blown.” - GeekWire “If you want to know why some people take approach seriously and what you can do with it, then Carroll’s latest is one of the best popular books on the market.” - Physics Today “Carroll argues with a healthy restlessness that makes his book more interesting than so many others in the quantum physics genre.” -Forbes “ Something Deeply Hidden is Carroll’s ambitious and engaging foray into what quantum mechanics really means and what it tells us about physical reality.” -Science “Enlightening and refreshingly bold.” -Scientific American “What makes Carroll's new project so worthwhile, though, is that while he is most certainly choosing sides in the debate, he offers us a cogent, clear, and compelling guide to the subject while letting his passion for the scientific questions shine through every page.” - NPR We are on the threshold of a new understanding-of where we are in the cosmos, and what we are made of. Rarely does a book so fully reorganize how we think about our place in the universe. Step-by-step in Carroll's uniquely lucid way, he tackles the major objections to this otherworldly revelation until his case is inescapably established. The Many-Worlds theory of quantum behavior says that every time there is a quantum event, a world splits off with everything in it the same, except in that other world the quantum event didn't happen.
Many of every one of us.Ĭopies of you are generated thousands of times per second. We just have to accept that there is more than one of us in the universe. Putting his professional reputation on the line with this audacious yet entirely reasonable book, Carroll says that the crisis can now come to an end. Academics discourage students from working on the "dead end" of quantum foundations. Science popularizers keep telling us how weird it is, how impossible it is to understand. Quantum mechanics has always had obvious gaps-which have come to be simply ignored. Most physicists haven’t even recognized the uncomfortable truth: Physics has been in crisis since 1927.
His reconciling of quantum mechanics with Einstein’s theory of relativity changes, well, everything. Already hailed as a masterpiece, Something Deeply Hidden shows for the first time that facing up to the essential puzzle of quantum mechanics utterly transforms how we think about space and time. Sean Carroll, theoretical physicist and one of this world’s most celebrated writers on science, rewrites the history of twentieth-century physics.
