Listening to this guy is a genuine pleasure. Not only the content but the delivery is top notch. No boring stuff, no excess nerd humor, a little irony.. all is nicely spoken. Wonderful content. Also he speaks with absolute clarity in terms of understanding by non english language native people. Amazing.

It is amazing how again and again he is able to shine this light of knowledge and understanding on a subject so complex, yet through his knowledge and ability to compartmentalize pieces of information, giving the audience a sense of understanding of something otherwise well beyond it's reach! Amazing.

I sat in on a couple of lectures of his “General Relativity” class at the University of Chicago in the Autumn Quarter of 2001. Left after the math got too heavy for me (a Divinity School grad student at the time). He was very kind and allowed me not only to sit in on his lectures but even answered wild questions I would ask him as the physics students would all sit there wondering who the hell this crazy guy (that would be me) was. Great to hear this lecture. I’ll bet he’s still one of the nicest geniuses you’ll ever meet.

As much as I think many worlds isn't right, I love his attitude. He isn't sugarcoating the problem, he's attacking it head on. Nobody knows how quantum mechanics works, and we'll never know how gravity interacts with particles until we understand quantum mechanics, at least better than we do now.

Sean Carroll is back!
Edit: Just found time to watch this amazing science communicator return to the RI (this time without his wife).
The talk has forever changed the way I think about quantum mechanics and the universe. A very memorable talk that tempts me into buying his new book "Something Deeply Hidden".
I thought it was such a bold move by Prof. Carroll; to take these quantum mechanical "interpretations" and make them 'theories'.
Its exactly what this field of science needs right now. Creating new theories based from entanglement and getting people to stop using classical mechanics as a starting point would forever change physics.
Thanks again to the RI for bringing back Sean Carroll for another insightful lecture!

This was artfully done. I'll be honest and say that the many worlds interpretation does sound so incomprehensibly big to me that I kinda subconsciously don't take it very seriously.
So when he talked about how it came about using a different name for it, I was able to get on board a little more.
Then the Trojan horse opened up, and I was stunned a little. Seriously, one of my favorite moments in a good while. It was a better plot twist than any movie I've ever seen, and many times as impactful

I have spent 56+ minutes suspended in a state of superposition of both, understanding and not understanding Sean Carrolls lecture. And yet I have enjoyed it immensely and consider it a time well spent. Somewhere in a multiverse of possibilities I am ready to receive my honorary quantum mechanics degree. No, wait... the cat is actually asleep.
