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 20th century physics. And - finally - it all makes sense." 33.One of Publishers Weekly's "Most Anticipated Books of the Fall"Īs you read these words, copies of you are being created. 9781786078360 Something Deeply Hidden 33.1000 NZD InStock /shop/books/non-fiction /shop/books /shop/books/non-fiction/mathematics-science/science /shop/books/non-fiction/mathematics-science From the Royal Society Winton Prize winnerĪ magisterial tour, Something Deeply Hidden encompasses the cosmological and everyday implications of quantum reality and multiple universes. In doing so, he fills a gap in the science that has existed for almost a century.Ī magisterial tour, Something Deeply Hidden encompasses the cosmological and everyday implications of quantum reality and multiple universes. Acclaimed physicist and writer Sean Carroll debunks the myths, resurrects and reinstates the Many-Worlds interpretation, and presents a new path towards solving the apparent conflict between quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of general relativity. Spanning the history of quantum discoveries, from Einstein and Bohr to the present day, Something Deeply Hidden is the essential guide to the most intriguing subject in science. It stands as the best explanation of the fundamental nature of our world. The implications are mind-bending, and not yet fully understood, but this revolutionary theory is truly illuminating.
From the Royal Society Winton Prize winner The implications are mind-bending, and not yet fully understood, but this revolutionary theory is truly. It's fascinating to see a real working physicist thinking these things through and trying to come to a conclusion.' - Professor Brian Cox on The Big Picture, a Mail on Sunday Book of the Year 'Sean Carroll examines what it means to exist on this speck of dust in a possibly infinite universe.
