A jumble of muons, gluons and quarks are impossible to explain without several degrees and a research position at CERN. But it doesn’t have to be this way! In this livestream, world-renowned theoretical physicist and bestselling author Sean Carroll guides you through the biggest ideas in the universe. In an elegant and simple way, Carroll unravels a web of theories to get to the heart of the truths they represent about the world around us. From Schrödinger to Feynman, he travels through the quantum revolution with the twentieth century's greatest minds. Exploring how several decades of research overturned centuries of convention, he provides a dazzling tour of the most exciting ideas in modern science. --- Sean Carroll is Homewood Professor of natural philosophy at Johns Hopkins University. He won the Royal Society Winton Prize for his book about the search for the elusive Higgs boson, The Particle at the End of the Universe, and The Big Picture was an international bestseller. His most recent book is Something Deeply Hidden. He lives in Baltimore. --- The Ri is on Twitter: http://twitter.com/ri_science and Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/royalinstitution and TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ri_science Listen to the Ri podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ri-science-podcast Donate to the RI and help us bring you more lectures: https://www.rigb.org/support-us/donate-ri Our editorial policy: https://www.rigb.org/editing-ri-talks-and-moderating-comments Subscribe for the latest science videos: http://bit.ly/RiNewsletter Product links on this page may be affiliate links which means it won't cost you any extra but we may earn a small commission if you decide to purchase through the link. #QuantumRevolution, #SeanCarroll, #QuantumPhysics, #ScienceTalks, #PhysicsExplained
