The Biggest Ideas in the Universe

Space, Time, and Motion (2022) is the first of a three-part series titled The Biggest Ideas in the Universe. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sean Carroll began producing videos that explained some of the biggest ideas and concepts of modern physics – and the equations which support them. He produced 24 videos in all and then developed the book series from that material.

Sean Carroll is the Homewood Professor of Natural Philosophy at Johns Hopkins University. He’s an expert in cosmology, field theory, and gravitation. He’s written several other books including Something Deeply Hidden, Spacetime and Geometry, and The Big Picture. He’s also host of the podcast Mindscape, in which he discusses science, philosophy, culture, and the arts.
