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 20th century physics. Carroll argues that the refusal to face up to the mysteries of quantum mechanics has blinded people, and that spacetime and gravity naturally emerge from a deeper reality called the wave function.tion.īook Synopsis INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERĪs you read these words, copies of you are being created. ![]() About the Book The holy grail of modern physics is reconciling quantum mechanics with Einstein's general relativity-his theory of curved spacetime. ![]()
