Publisher Description

From the Royal Society Winton Prize winner

‘An authoritative and beautifully written account of the quest to understand quantum theory and the origin of space and time.’ Professor Brian Cox 


Quantum physics is not mystifying. The implications are mind-bending, and not yet fully understood, but this revolutionary theory is truly illuminating. It stands as the best explanation of the fundamental nature of our world.

Spanning the history of quantum discoveries, from Einstein and Bohr to the present day, Something Deeply Hidden is the essential guide to the most intriguing subject in science. Acclaimed physicist and writer Sean Carroll debunks the myths, resurrects and reinstates the Many-Worlds interpretation, and presents a new path towards solving the apparent conflict between quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of general relativity. In doing so, he fills a gap in the science that has existed for almost a century.

A magisterial tour, Something Deeply Hidden encompasses the cosmological and everyday implications of quantum reality and multiple universes. And – finally – it all makes sense.

Eye opening

While reading this book, every couple of pages I felt like I learned something so profoundly important that I had to stop for a minute and reflect on how this new piece of understanding of the world fits into my experience, knowledge and thinking.

One of the best books on Quantum Mechanics.

Brilliant, accessible book, which can be hard going in places if you are not working in theoretical physics (which I most certainly am not). I take a leisurely interest and this book will of course inspire readers to keep pushing the boundaries of nature.
