Something Deeply Hidden
Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime
Book • 2020
In this book, Sean Carroll argues that the crisis in physics since 1927, stemming from the gaps in quantum mechanics, can be resolved by accepting the Many-Worlds theory.
He explains that every quantum event results in the creation of multiple worlds, each with different outcomes.
Carroll tackles major objections to this theory and provides a lucid explanation of how it reconciles quantum mechanics with Einstein’s theory of relativity.
The book challenges conventional notions of reality and offers a new understanding of our place in the universe and the nature of spacetime.
