Sean Carroll Disappoints with “Something Deeply Hidden”


Sean Carroll has written a new book called “Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime.” You can find a review of it by Peter Woit here amd another by Sabine Hossenfelder here.

When someone writes a book like this, I’m always hopeful that the last sentence won’t be something like, “So we still don’t have the answers, but I expect that we’ll see significant progress on these difficult puzzles in the near future.” Unfortunately, that’s how Sean’s book ends, so for me it’s a big disappointment.

I promise you that my book, if it ever gets finished and published, will not end that way.
