A fun-filled discussion of the big, mind-blowing, unanswered questions about the Universe. In each episode, Daniel Whiteson (a Physicist who works at CERN) and Jorge Cham (a popular online cartoonist) discuss some of the simple but profound questions that people have been wondering about for thousands of years, explaining the science in a fun, shorts-wearing and jargon-free way.

How can we, humans, look at our relationship to nature differently? In season three of Going Wild, on top of stories about animals, we invite you to journey through the entire ecological web — from the tiniest of life forms to apex predators — alongside the scientists, activists and adventurers who study it. Wildlife biologist and host Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant has been studying wild animals in their natural habitats all over the world for years. Our award-winning podcast takes you inside the hidde ...

In this episode, I interview renowned theoretical physicist Sean Carroll to discuss his book Something Deeply Hidden. Sean breaks down complex ideas in quantum mechanics and cosmology in his popular science books.
His research involves theoretical physics and astrophysics, especially cosmology, field theory, and gravitation.
Sean takes us on a journey through the Many Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, a theory that suggests every possible outcome of a quantum event actually occurs in its own separate universe.
He explains how this theory changes our understanding of reality by connecting to other areas like gravity and cosmology.
We discuss experiments that could test this mind-bending theory and why abandoning classical assumptions is key for scientific advancement.
Listen to this episode now and expand your understanding of the universe.
Tune in!
Key Takeaways:
- 00:00 Introduction and background
- 01:30 New ideas and theories in Carroll's latest book
- 02:51 Structure of the book and its focus
- 04:20 Many Worlds and its implications
- 07:56 Shut up and measure philosophy
- 12:04 Quantum mechanics and classical assumptions
- 18:59 Carroll's interests outside physics
- 27:04 Teaching creativity in science
- 39:06 Carroll's career journey
- 45:34 Explanation of Many Worlds
- 51:26 Falsifiability of Many Worlds
