Sean Carroll & THE BIGGEST IDEAS IN THE UNIVERSE: Quanta & Fields

Theoretical physicist, bestselling author & host of the acclaimed Mindscape podcast, Sean Carroll takes us on an adventure through the biggest ideas in the Universe!

In Quanta and Fields, the second book in this already internationally acclaimed series, Carroll dives into the baffling & beautiful world of quantum mechanics.

From Schrödinger to Feynman, Carroll travels through the quantum revolution with the greatest minds of the 20th century. Exploring how several decades of research overturned centuries of convention, Carroll provides a dazzling tour of the most exciting ideas in modern science.

At this edition of Secret Science Club, we discover why matter is solid, why there is antimatter, where the sizes of atoms come from, and why the predictions of quantum field theory are so spectacularly successful. Beyond Newton, beyond Einstein, Carroll opens a window into the raw & infinitely fascinating reality of the quantum realm.

SEAN CARROLL is Homewood Professor of Natural Philosophy at Johns Hopkins University, and Fractal Faculty at the Santa Fe Institute. He is host of the MINDSCAPE podcast, and author of The Particle at the End of the Universe, The Big Picture, Something Deeply Hidden, and The Biggest Ideas in the Universe: Space, Time and Motion. He has been awarded prizes and fellowships by the National Science Foundation, NASA, the American Institute of Physics, the Royal Society of London, and many others.
