In this episode, I interview renowned theoretical physicist Sean Carroll to discuss his book Something Deeply Hidden. Sean breaks down complex ideas in quantum mechanics and cosmology in his popular science books.

His research involves theoretical physics and astrophysics, especially cosmology, field theory, and gravitation.

Sean takes us on a journey through the Many Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, a theory that suggests every possible outcome of a quantum event actually occurs in its own separate universe.

He explains how this theory changes our understanding of reality by connecting to other areas like gravity and cosmology.

We discuss experiments that could test this mind-bending theory and why abandoning classical assumptions is key for scientific advancement.

Listen to this episode now and expand your understanding of the universe.
