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.

评分1 本书的结构 本书分为六大部分,50章。结构庞大,但其实并不难读,总字数三十二万字。须知《洛丽塔》就有四十二万字。它貌似厚重,难于阅读,也许是由于装帧精良,丝绢般韧滑的纸张有一定厚度的缘故吧。 本书第一大部分是对本体论的基本概述,第二部分是在阐述认识论,第三部...

可以给5星的物理学科普读物。用laws of nature来讲universe, life (of origins), morality, religion, human beings, logic, philosophy。量子力学解释的很通俗易懂,对sci-fi常常提到的many-world和multi-universe做了区分。由于偶个人现在没心思看和religion, morality and philosophy的部分,就没给5星。还有,要注意的就是书里讲的理论,只是(因为无法证明的)众多理论中作者支持的一个。
评分Better to read than not. But still prefer Brian Greene.
评分以宇宙大爆炸理论、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。
评分我今年读过的最好的书
