The instant New York Times bestseller about humanity's place in the universe--and how we understand it.

"Vivid...impressive....Splendidly informative."--The New York Times
"Succeeds spectacularly."--Science
"
A tour de force."--Salon

Already internationally acclaimed for his elegant, lucid writing on the most challenging notions in modern physics, Sean Carroll is emerging as one of the greatest humanist thinkers of his generation as he brings his extraordinary intellect to bear not only on Higgs bosons and extra dimensions but now also on our deepest personal questions: Where are we? Who are we? Are our emotions, our beliefs, and our hopes and dreams ultimately meaningless out there in the void? Do human purpose and meaning fit into a scientific worldview?

In short chapters filled with intriguing historical anecdotes, personal asides, and rigorous exposition, readers learn the difference between how the world works at the quantum level, the cosmic level, and the human level--and then how each connects to the other. Carroll's presentation of the principles that have guided the scientific revolution from Darwin and Einstein to the origins of life, consciousness, and the universe is dazzlingly unique.

Carroll shows how an avalanche of discoveries in the past few hundred years has changed our world and what really matters to us. Our lives are dwarfed like never before by the immensity of space and time, but they are redeemed by our capacity to comprehend it and give it meaning.

The Big Picture is an unprecedented scientific worldview, a tour de force that will sit on shelves alongside the works of Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan, Daniel Dennett, and E. O. Wilson for years to come.

Grey fit Great~ Pink too Big (Ordered same size)
This was Very unusual to have ordered 2 pair of shoes in SAME Size, one color (Grey) fit Great!! However the Pink pair were HUGE & even my daughter tried to slide right in them but they were “BOAT” shoes on her too! I love the Grey (that fit😅) as wear when I’m cleaning &/Or dressing up to go out. The Grey is very versatile in what you can wear with these. The #1 thing I LOVE that sounds Corny Ah??.. I mop my floors & I can walk across without busting my 🍑!! I walk on Water in floor & don’t even slide nor have I had to catch a cabinet on my way down!! Love these shoes soo much. Don’t know what Co but I want other colors!! Great Buy so I think I’ll do it again & buy another pair once I receive return. I truly don’t know what to tell others?.. Maybe something like: “if Pink is your Fav Color & U feel need for some pink slides than order couple sizes smaller?🤷🏼‍♀️ I ordered pink for my 21 yr old daughter who can pull off wearing any pink. shoes. I literally couldn’t take watching her wear these Pink ‘Oversized’ Boat shoes like she stole them or someone felt sorry for her looking poor & handed her the shoes off their feet.. I just RETURNED them & now have tell her to pick a color & I’ll buy her another pair (not pink). My Grey ones look Great& feel even better!! So many have asked Where I bought & never seen before. These are VERY Comfortable!! I wear them all day Into night. I need to order more colors & just 🤞🏼🤞🏼for size to be correct!

I love the metallic iridescent!
Why did you pick this product vs others?: I love the color and the feel but the sizing is wonky. I’m a perfect 7.5. The 7 wears like a 6-6.5 and the 8 is just a little too big. I’m keeping my 7 in the blue and I have a pair in wine/purple in 8 from a few years ago. I just won’t be running a mile in them anytime soon! LOL I love the look!
