Sean Carroll is a theoretical physicist at the California Institute of Technology. His research focuses on fundamental issues in quantum mechanics, gravitation, statistical mechanics, and cosmology. He has wide-ranging interests, including in philosophy, complexity theory, and information.
Carroll is an active science communicator, and has been blogging regularly since 2004. His textbook "Spacetime and Geometry" has been adopted by a number of universities for their graduate courses in general relativity. He is a frequent public speaker, and has appeared on TV shows such as The Colbert Report and Through The Wormhole with Morgan Freeman. He has produced a set of lectures for The Teaching Company on dark matter and dark energy, and another on the nature of time. He has served as a science consultant for films such as Thor and TRON: Legacy, as well as for TV shows such as Fringe and Bones.
His 2010 popular book, "From Eternity to Here," explained the arrow of time and connected it with the origin of our universe. "The Particle at the End of the Universe," about the Large Hadron Collider and the quest to discover the Higgs boson, was released November 2012. "The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself" will appear in May 2016.

懒洋洋地下午,三个男人围在桌子上讨论着不着边际的话题——人类算个啥? 穿着聖袍呆着金边眼镜的基督教徒说到:“几千年前世界漆黑一片,神说要有光于是就有了光,神创造了一切最后做了人,先做了男人再从男人的身上取出肋骨做了女人,所以人是神的仆人。” “住嘴!”穿着白...
评分最初被邀请读这本书的时候,我是犹豫了一下的,毕竟这种书名(特别是副题)实在有点像那些宣称自己推翻了相对论的民科会写的名堂。不过查了豆瓣简介后,觉得基本还是靠谱的。 拿到书先翻目录,有几章的标题很抓眼球——《诗性自然主义》(第2章)、《现实涌现而来》(第12章)...
评分〖树评〗 《读家教练:生命意义的涌现与演化》 人性,美感,诗意, 智慧本在文字之外。 生命,智能,演化, 嵌入多维数网络中, 联结量变引起质变。 叠加,溶解,漩涡, 时间知觉情感重构, 意群融贯熵增复杂, 新陈代谢破茧化蝶。 变焦,回顾,展望, 自由意志记忆剧本, 弥散...
评分肖恩·卡罗尔,真是深得我心。 我很久之前,就想过,对人进行量子层面的复制,所带来的同一性困境,结果他在这本书里居然也提到了,而且嵌入在一个“大图景”中,带着我进入了更广阔的境地。 在统一场论和“我该如何生活”之间,有着漫长的距离,两者常常看起来毫不相关,尽管...

以宇宙大爆炸理论、量子场论的大量结果为基础,对科学方法、人生意义等宏大的哲学问题做出了讨论。
评分A really challenging reading, not only for the language issues, but mostly for the various scientific and philosophical phenomena that the author attempts to elaborate..., intrigued and still being humbled by the big world.
评分“颜色科学”的那一章不错: the Hard Problem is just a matter of conceptional confusion
评分内容好杂,不像想象中的物理科普书,然而对世界的认识本来也就不是能由物理学完全说清楚的。
