- erdleerdle 7y agoStarted reading this and realized it was Sean... he gave a great talk on this last night at Symphony Space on the UWS. Believe he's doing a full book tour - worth checking out.
- jcims 7y agoHalfway through his latest Mindscape podcast episode that drills down into this topic in a very approachable way.
- aklein 7y agoAnother book I'm enjoying is "Einstein's Unfinished Revolution" [1] by Lee Smolin, which also has a deep dive into foundations of QM.

- drcode 7y agoI'm not familiar with that book, but I can say that Dr. Carroll's book is far better than any previous book on the subject I've read, in terms of getting rid of the confusion inherent in QM.
