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.

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。
评分又接受了一次贝叶斯学派的洗礼。后半部分翻来覆去地靠实用主义来反击二元论,略讨人嫌
评分有趣
评分我今年读过的最好的书

拿到手发现校对居然是Ent,期待一下子就高了起来。 现在的科普像科研一样,愈发趋向具体和专门,比如讲进化论或者心智科学,毕竟能把一个问题讲清楚就不容易了。 但肖恩·卡罗尔这本书开头就是本体论和认识论两个宏大议题,仿佛回到了亚里士多德的哲学物理时代,这些问题宏大到...
评分1 贝叶斯理念和决定论 贝叶斯理念、贝叶斯式的认知方式是好的。因为它让人保持开放,在相对性的世界里找到了一种平衡。没有一个想法是永远不需要被修正的。但也不能夸大对它们的不信任。语言的魔障在于那些标记权重之词汇的随意使用(绝对、肯定、关键是、最突出、唯一的、完全...
评分懒洋洋地下午,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...

评分刘慈欣在他的小说《排险者》中,提出了一个判断文明是否开始对宇宙大统一理论探寻产生兴趣的标准:当这个文明的第一个个体开始仰望星空时。可以武断地说,每一个人心中都向往着大图景,渴望对于世界的本质性规律得到理解;然而,“正确”、严谨地谈论“大图景”而并非流于空谈...
