Video Description
Embark on a journey into the "bare stuff of reality" with renowned theoretical physicist Sean Carroll. Join us for a special online event as Carroll returns to discuss his latest book, Quanta and Fields, the second installment in his acclaimed series, The Biggest Ideas in the Universe. Quantum field theory represents nature at its most profound level. Starting with the basics of quantum mechanics, Carroll explores measurement, entanglement, and the fundamental nature of fields. Why is matter solid? What is antimatter? How do the sizes of atoms come about? And why are the predictions of quantum field theory so remarkably accurate? Carroll delves into key concepts like spin, symmetry, Feynman diagrams, and the Higgs mechanism, providing a uniquely accessible explanation of these complex ideas. His approach goes beyond simple analogies, offering insights into the true mathematical essence of modern physics. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how physicists think and explore the deepest principles of our universe with Sean Carroll. In association with Wonderfest. Photo by Jennifer Ouellette.
