THE BIGGEST IDEAS IN THE UNIVERSE - SEAN CARROL...

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER   “Most appealing... technical accuracy and lightness of tone
... Impeccable. ” —Wall Street Journal   “ A porthole into another world. ” —Scientific
American  “ Brings science dissemination to a new level. ” —Science   The most trusted
explainer of the most mind-boggling concepts pulls back the veil of mystery that has too long
cloaked the most valuable building blocks of modern science. Sean Carroll  with his genius for
making complex notions entertaining  presents in his uniquely lucid voice the fundamental ideas
informing the modern physics of reality.     Physics offers deep insights into the workings of
the universe but those insights come in the form of equations that often look like
gobbledygook. Sean Carroll shows that they are really like meaningful poems that can help us
fly over sierras to discover a miraculous multidimensional landscape alive with radiant giants
warped space-time  and bewilderingly powerful forces. High school calculus is itself a
centuries-old marvel as worthy of our gaze as the Mona Lisa. And it may come as a surprise the
extent to which all our most cutting-edge ideas about black holes are built on the math
calculus enables.       No one else could so smoothly guide readers toward grasping the very
equation Einstein used to describe his theory of general relativity. In the tradition of the
legendary Richard Feynman lectures presented sixty years ago  this book is an inspiring 
dazzling introduction to a way of seeing that will resonate across cultural and generational
boundaries for many years to come.
