Sean Carroll is a theoretical physicist, podcaster and author.
Quantum physics is complicated. The quantum world does not operate like the one we see around us, yet our human experience of life emerges from this strange universe.
Today we learn how it can be the case that something so alien can give rise to something so familiar.
