Episode: The Smallest Ideas in the Universe with Sean Carro...
The biggest ideas in the universe, written by theoretical physicist Sean Carroll. The book was the second in a trilogy, dealing with quanta and fields.
The biggest ideas in the universe.
The Biggest Ideas in the Universe, the second in a trilogy.
It was called Space Time in Motion, which is like publisher speak for classical physics.
Regular, ordinary, armchair physics.
Isaac Newton physics.
Episode: Physics & Philosophy with Sean Carroll
It is a physics book that teaches the public about calculus, tensors, differential geometry, and Einstein's equation for general relativity.
Um one right now during this episode. Yeah, I'm almost done Wait, you've got a book the biggest ideas in the universe volume 1 and you're working on volume 2 That's right
This is a physics book where you you you got equations in there and you and you are You are not apologetic about it.
No, I mean we don't assume that you know any math We teach you the math. So I teach you calculus and what have you Just in case you missed calculus, you know in your school, it's in the first couple of pages, right a couple chapters but yes And then you move on and you learn tensors and differential geometry and Einstein's equation for general relativity
Episode: Cosmic Queries – The Biggest Ideas in the Universe...
It was the first book in a three-part series on physics, focusing on classical physics, including general relativity, and black holes, incorporating mathematical elements into the explanation.
So we have a guest, a friend and a colleague who in fall 2022 published a book called The Biggest Ideas in the Universe, Space, Time and Motion.
So this is the first book of a trilogy, which as I like to say is a format that works well for the Lord of the Rings and other famous franchises.
So this is the fellowship of physics, and it's basically classical physics, right? It's the physics before quantum mechanics came along.
But that still takes us very far. By the end of the book, you've learned Einstein's equation of general relativity, and you look at the Schwarzschild metric for black holes, and you know why there are black holes.
Congratulations on this, your next book, published with Dutton, Dutton Press.
