I know what goes through your head when you're living with cancer. The questions, the fears, the need to know.

How do I know?

Because I'm living with cancer too.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mindscape Podcast. I'm your host Sean Carroll and we're very excited these days

Here at Mindscape World International Headquarters for Book Publication Week as some of you know, on Tuesday, I guess May 14th, here in the United States anyway,

we're going to have the publication of Quanta and Fields. This is volume two in the biggest ideas in the universe series.

The series will be a three-part series that aims to explain modern physics, the part of modern physics that we know, not the speculative stuff, we're not going to

be talking about the multiverse or quantum gravity or anything like that, the kinds that ideas in

modern physics that we think will last for a very very long time and the gimmick is we're explaining them in a way

that involves the equations so we're gonna show you the equations and that means it's not for everybody but it's very much

for some people if you've ever read descriptions of physics where you thought that

there was something going on but there's a bunch of metaphors and stories and analogies and you weren't quite sure

why things were working out the way they were working out.

These are the books for you.

And the biggest ideas you'll really get to see why, for example, the Higgs mechanism gives

mass to particles and things like that.

You don't need to just wave your hands in any way.

And the general theme of the book is Quanta and Fields.
