Description
Ever wanted to know how music affects your brain, what quantum mechanics really is, or how black holes work? Do you wonder why you get emotional each time you see a certain movie, or how on earth video games are designed? Then you’ve come to the right place. Each week, Sean Carroll will host conversations with some of the most interesting thinkers in the world. From neuroscientists and engineers to authors and television producers, Sean and his guests talk about the biggest ideas in science, philosophy, culture and much more.

I'm the Homewood Professor of Natural Philosophy -- in effect, a joint appointment between physics and philosophy -- at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, and fractal faculty at the Santa Fe Institute. Most of my career has been spent doing research on cosmology, field theory, and gravitation, looking at topics such as dark matter and dark energy, modified gravity, topological defects, extra dimensions, and violations of fundamental symmetries. These days my focus has shifted to more foundational questions, both in quantum mechanics (origin of probability, emergence of space and time) and statistical mechanics (entropy and the arrow of time, emergence and causation, dynamics of complexity), bringing a more philosophical dimension to my work. See my research page or annotated publications for more details.
For some biographical background, I did an oral history interview for the American Institute of Physics. You can see the transcript or the audio version. I also wrote a personal narrative as part of applying for a Guggenheim fellowship.
I've written a few books, both popular-level and textbook-level. My most recent is The Biggest Ideas in the Universe: Space, Time, and Motion, the first volume in a planned three-book series. Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime. I've also done a few lecture courses for The Great Courses, and there is various video and audio evidence online of me talking about one thing or another, including a series on The Biggest Ideas in the Universe. My podcast, Mindscape, features me conversing with smart people about interesting ideas in science, philosophy, culture, and the arts.
In addition to theoretical physics and book-writing, there are a bunch of other things I'm interested in, somewhat haphazardly collected on my activities page. I give talks, organize conferences, write in a number of modes, and do science consulting for film and television.
