What they say about it
- First in a trilogy“first book of a Trilogy”3
The best things said about it
Sean Carroll who's got a new book out which has the audacious title the kind of titles that only my people can dare the biggest ideas in the universe space time and motion.
Neil deGrasse Tyson StarTalk Radio · Sep 2022 The first big ideas book was called Space-Time in Motion, which is like publishers speak for classical physics, regular ordinary armchair physics. Isaac Newton physics, yeah, Isaac Newton physics and Albert Einstein for that matter, he was the star.
Neil deGrasse Tyson StarTalk Radio · Jul 2024 You've got to book the biggest ideas in the universe volume one and you're working on volume two and this is a physics book where you you got equations in there and you and you are you are not apologetic about it no.
Neil deGrasse Tyson StarTalk Radio · Aug 2023 The basic idea is that we took the series of videos I did which cover a lot of material and we chopped them up into three books so this is the first book of a Trilogy.
Why people recommend it
Biggest Ideas in the Universe by Sean M. Carroll is a popular science book series that makes complex physics, from classical mechanics and relativity to quantum fields, accessible to general readers. The book and its associated trilogy received enthusiastic attention across prominent science and interview podcasts. Lex Fridman welcomed Sean Carroll on the Lex Fridman Podcast to discuss the first volume, Space, Time, and Motion, praising how the author addresses foundational equations of general relativity with clarity and ease. Neil deGrasse Tyson also featured Carroll and the book series on multiple episodes of StarTalk Radio. Tyson humorously acknowledged the audacious title during mid-episode announcements and later engaged in deep scientific discussions about classical physics, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, and subsequent volumes covering quantum mechanics and fields. Across these appearances, hosts emphasized the author's unique ability to translate high-level theoretical physics into engaging concepts for armchair enthusiasts, cementing the series as a premier resource for understanding the fundamental nature of reality.

Neil deGrasse Tyson in Fall 2022 published a book called the biggest ideas in the universe space time and motion 3
“holding a book a book that I uh you know that I um picked up off of the coffee table the biggest ideas in the universe”
“and this latest book the biggest ideas in the universe the second in a Trilogy this one Quant and Fields”
“So if this is a trilogy, the first big ideas book was called Space-Time in Motion, which is like publishers speak for classical physics, regular ordinary armchair physics. Isaac Newton physics, yeah, Isaac Newton physics and Albert Einstein for that matter, he was the star. Isn't it funny at this point, Albert Einstein is the old physics, classical physics, now”
“wait you've got to book the biggest ideas in the universe volume one and you're working on volume two and this is a physics book where you you got equations in there and you and you are you are not apologetic about it no”

“I will recommend that people who think it's clergy and making things up buy a book that I recently wrote that explains how general relativity Works among other things”
“first multimedia the book uh that uh is out fall 2022 the biggest ideas in the universe”
“he's the author of several popular books one on the arrow of time called from eternity to here one on the Higgs boson called particle at the end of the universe and one on science of philosophy called the big picture on the origins of life meaning in the universe itself”
“so in my last book the big picture I actually devoted even though it's mostly about physics and philosophy and cosmology and biology I devoted a little bit to the fundamental principles of reasoning”
“what we should do about it is there an audiobook available as well is I recorded it not far from here”
