Many of every one of us.Ĭopies of you are generated thousands of times per second. We just have to accept that there is more than one of us in the universe. Putting his professional reputation on the line with this audacious yet entirely reasonable book, Carroll says that the crisis can now come to an end. Academics discourage students from working on the "dead end" of quantum foundations. Science popularizers keep telling us how weird it is, how impossible it is to understand. Quantum mechanics has always had obvious gaps-which have come to be simply ignored. Most physicists haven’t even recognized the uncomfortable truth: physics has been in crisis since 1927. His reconciling of quantum mechanics with Einstein’s theory of relativity changes, well, everything. Already hailed as a masterpiece, Something Deeply Hidden shows for the first time that facing up to the essential puzzle of quantum mechanics utterly transforms how we think about space and time. Sean Carroll, theoretical physicist and one of this world’s most celebrated writers on science, rewrites the history of 20th century physics. Carroll argues that our refusal to face up to the mysteries of quantum mechanics has blinded us, and that spacetime and gravity naturally emerge from a deeper reality called the wave function.As you read these words, copies of you are being created.
The holy grail of modern physics is reconciling quantum mechanics with Einstein's general relativity - his theory of curved spacetime. Step-by-step, the author sets out the major objections to this notion until his case is established. The Many Worlds Theory of quantum behavior says that every time there is a quantum event, a world splits off with everything in it the same, except in that other world the quantum event didn't happen. Putting his professional reputation on the line, Carroll says that crisis can now come to an end, that we just have to accept that there is more than one of us in the universe. Quantum mechanics underlies all of modern physics but major gaps in the theory have been ignored since 1927. Carroll begins with the news that physics is in a crisis. He explains that there are multiple copies of you.
His reconciling of quantum mechanics with Einstein's theory of relativity changes, well, everything. Summary: Carroll shows for the first time that facing up to the essential puzzle of quantum mechanics utterly transforms how we think about space and time.
