Carrol somehow brought philosophy and went about it for a good chunk of time, which is understandable, to a certain degree, but irrelevant.Īll in all, the information present is not at all bad nor is it false. Completely unnecessary to the avid reader and actually blurs the knowledge trying to be obtained. Going back to when I mention the spiel on metaphysics. Leaving the reader to pick up after the man who is 'teaching' you. What Carrol does is he formulates an analogy, but then drops it a paragraph later. When explaining the concepts of entanglement and such, one would have to use an analogy to fully grasp them.

Once you look past the character that is Carrol, you run into another problem.

If what you're looking for is the information, you would find it dead center of the book, excluding the fact that you know the workings of Hawking and Rovelli or that you don't mind a spiel about the metaphysical aspects of Q.T. SDH is then like every other mainstream book about science that many physicists praise. Both of which are not necessary as one looks to books that present Quantum Theory for the information and not for a lesson on how it got there. Not only does he remind you of that fact here and there, he begins the book with a warning and a history lecture, the latter being a third of the book as a whole. That being said, Carrol appears as a pretentious know-it-all that adheres to the prowess of knowing and teaching Quantum Theory. To any piece of literature, whether that be nonfiction or fiction, the author reveals themselves within their writings, to which reveals who they are as a person. However, there are some quarrels about the author himself. The information Carrol presents and reciprocates in his book is great, not gonna lie, and helped me add knowledge to my understanding of Quantum Theory. I read Something Deeply Hidden through and through. I thought this would be a good place to share my opinion and start a discussion because, oh boy, I wanted to give my two cents about this one. I'm not one to review books, or even review anything at all.
