Details Condition: BRAND NEW Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781786078360 Publisher: Oneworld Publications Age Range: Adult / General Readers Overview Something Deeply Hidden is theoretical physicist Sean Carroll's landmark exploration of quantum mechanics and its startling implications for the nature of reality. Written for curious general readers, it tackles the strangest ideas in modern physics with clarity and wit, showing how the long-overlooked Many-Worlds interpretation may finally resolve the decades-old rift between quantum theory and Einstein's general relativity, reshaping our understanding of space, time and existence itself. About the Book Quantum physics is often described as impossibly confusing, but Sean Carroll argues that its core ideas are not mystifying at all - simply mind-bending in their implications. In this acclaimed book, he traces the history of quantum discovery from Einstein and Niels Bohr through to today's leading physicists, untangling decades of myth and misconception along the way. Carroll builds a compelling case for the Many-Worlds interpretation, the idea that every quantum event spawns branching realities, and argues it deserves far more serious consideration than it has traditionally received. From there, he pushes further, sketching a bold new path toward reconciling quantum mechanics with the theory of spacetime and gravity, addressing a puzzle that has troubled physicists for almost a century. The result is a rigorous yet accessible guide that doesn't shy away from complexity but never loses sight of the reader. Winner of the Royal Society Winton Prize, and praised by leading scientists and critics alike, this is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand the true, strange nature of reality - not the diluted popular myths, but the genuine cutting-edge science shaping how physicists think about the universe today.
