about
Sean
Carroll 

Most of us know that Newtonian laws of nature have lost much of their grandeur, as they are only valid within a world we no longer recognise. Even Einstein, with his dogma that the speed of light is the absolute criterion for measuring speed, seems outdated and a thinker of the past.

Sean Carroll has just published his new book, Quanta and Fields: The Biggest Ideas in the Universe. His podcast with Žižek is fabulous and occasionally brings Žižek to despair.

Sean will help you feel the significance of quantum physics and its crucial role in understanding quantum computers and cryptocurrencies, two leading innovations that will shape our future.
