The Trilogy of Books Exploring Physics

In this podcast episode, physicist Sean Carroll discusses his trilogy of books that aim to help non-physicists dive deeper into the biggest ideas of the universe. The project began during the pandemic when he started making YouTube videos explaining concepts in physics. The videos grew, leading to the creation of a book. Initially, Carroll wanted to write a large, thousand-page opus, but his publisher suggested dividing it into three shorter books. The first book focuses on classical physics from Aristotle to Einstein, while the second and third books will cover quantum mechanics, particle physics, and complexity and emergence, respectively.
