The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself Free Audiobook Download by Sean Carroll

Sean Carroll, a theoretical physicist at the California Institute of Technology and a professor of natural philosophy in the Department of Physics there, has a very important book out now. It is called The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself. His thesis? That all this life we see before us - these plants, animals, bacteria on up to humans - are just natural objects that emerged through chance events in time. Carroll's reasoning is that our universe was created billions of years ago by some other universe exploding into ours (which Carroll calls "the multiverse"). This makes his book similar to other books on cosmology and string theory but what sets him apart is his belief that his arguments can explain how meaning came to exist

This audiobook is, according to the author, "a scientifically rigorous yet personally accessible look at the most complex questions ever asked."

Sean Carroll's The Big Picture is an absorbing look at a question few have dared to answer: what are the origins of life, meaning, and the universe itself? Carroll starts with a discussion of how science has approached this question from many angles, from Darwinian evolution to the search for extraterrestrial life. He then takes us on a journey through time, from the origin of life and evolution to what it means for humans today.

Sean Carroll is an experimental theoretical physicist at the California Institute of Technology and a professor at Harvard University. His book The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself was published in 2016. In his book he explores how science can answer questions about life's origin, meaning, and ultimate destiny.

Sean Carroll, professor of philosophy at the California Institute of Technology, has come together to create one of the widest-ranging and most thought-provoking works on the origins of life, meaning and the universe itself by combining his research on physics with philosophic reflections from a variety of disciplines. In this work, Carroll starts with an exploration of how something like the universe could arise out of nothingness. He then explores issues relating to what is meaningful in our lives and why we have these thoughts about meaning.
