0:00.0 | This may be the smartest guy in terms of raw intelligence that I've ever had on the |
0:14.9 | podcast. Sean Carroll is a great physicist but also a great writer of physics and |
0:21.8 | he really attempts to explain to me quantum mechanics and the |
0:29.0 | difference between quantum mechanics and classical physics I kind of make some analogies about how this could apply to my |
0:38.0 | personal life of course and I also make a fool of myself and pitch an idea that I think could win the Nobel Prize, but if |
0:46.2 | you listen to this podcast, you will know more about quantum mechanics than you did before you listen |
0:51.6 | to it. But I have to admit one thing. Sean Carroll, so he's a |
0:55.8 | professor, lives in Maryland, again, super physicist, he's written a bunch of books. |
1:01.2 | There's another Sean Carroll who also lives in Maryland, |
1:05.6 | who's also a very smart guy. |
1:07.4 | And while I was preparing for this podcast, |
1:10.2 | I didn't know the difference between the two Sean Carroll's so I read a bunch of books by both Sean Carroll's |
1:18.2 | Jay we're gonna have to find the other Sean Carroll this is so today is Sean M, but there's a Sean B Carol who wrote a book called a series of |
1:26.7 | fortunate events about how it's basically all the science behind how lucky it is that mankind or humankind exists. |
1:37.0 | And it was a fascinating book, just as fascinating as Sean M Carroll's book, and I read both to prepare for this. I only later realize it's |
1:46.2 | different Sean Carroll. So we got to get the other Sean Carroll on the podcast as well. This isn't your average business podcast and he's not your average host. |
2:00.3 | This is the James Altiger show. Sean, I've been super excited about this episode. I've always been interested in your work, |
2:18.0 | your 2020 book, now I'm forgetting the title even though the biggest ideas in the universe. |
2:24.0 | A really great explanation of physics in a way that you attempt to make the common person |
2:32.3 | understand but it's a very hard book. |
2:35.6 | But now, now this book, the biggest idea in the universe, |
2:39.9 | Quanta and Fields just came out, also a very difficult book. |
