Quantum physics is not mystifying. The implications are mind-bending and not yet fully
understood but this revolutionary theory is truly illuminating. It stands as the best
explanation of the fundamental nature of our world. 'An authoritative and beautifully
written account of the quest to understand quantum theory and the origin of space and time.'
Professor Brian Cox 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. 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. In doing so he
fills a gap in the science that has existed for almost a century. A magisterial tour
Something Deeply Hidden encompasses the cosmological and everyday implications of quantum
reality and multiple universes. And - finally - it all makes sense. *** 'Carroll takes us
by the hand and with a benign smile and a chatty style leads us to a place where... at every
instant an almost infinite number of copies of you are splitting off to live alternative
lives... a wild conceptual ride.' The Sunday Times BOOKS OF THE YEAR 'Like all great
writers Carroll has the remarkable ability of putting the reader utterly at ease with his
lucid and addictive prose. He leads you so gently and comfortably into his quantum world that
you quickly forget you are being given access to the most profound ideas about the nature of
reality.' Jim Al-Khalili 'Sean Carroll's immensely enjoyable Something Deeply Hidden brings
readers face-to-face with the fundamental quantum weirdness of the universe - or should I say
universes? And by the end you may catch yourself finding quantum weirdness not all that
weird.' Jordan Ellenberg
