Understanding the Biggest Ideas in the Universe Without Being a Physicist
from Inquiring Minds · host Inquiring Minds
This week we welcome back theoretical physicist and philosopher Sean Carroll to talk about how his most recent book, The Biggest Ideas in the Universe: Space, Time, and Motion, attempts to bridge the gap between how scientists talk about physics and how they usually go about explaining it to non-scientists. The goal is to help you understand what physicists are talking about—equations and all—without needing to know much more than some algebra. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
