How many Sean Carroll's does one universe need? At least two, apparently, since there is both biology and physics out there. Here I am talking with courtesy Sean B. Carroll at @nautil.us magazine. nautil.us/the-sean-car... - ThreadSky

So there must be at least one and probably many universes where the Sean M Carroll is a Biologist and Sean Carroll is the Physicist/Philosopher and a few where you both did Geology? 😁

I have a friend named Sean Carroll who is a physicist, which just goes to show that physics attracts Sean Carroll's.

Would you consider changing your name to Sean P. Carroll to help us tell you apart?

Biologist Sean seem to be set already.

You start out quantum mechanical and you head out that way. We don’t try to quantise matter.

Just quarks, up and down and neutrinos .
And just let gravity and other stuff in the universe come out of that basic elements

You hinted this

Great talk! Is there a recording of it as well? like in YouTube

Time is a compact dimension.
Everything about physics and cosmology evolves from this.
Limits. Lambda and event horizon=zero and c.
A phase space of action.
This creates a gradient that we call gravity.
Geometric flows are real.
And it connects the limits.
In at event horizon
Out in deep void

Great conversation!

I've been interested in science since high school when I first learned about evolution and DNA in biology class. Seniors were asked about our future careers for the yearbook. It amazes me to this day that under my photo it says: "Marine Biologist."
My college major? Theatre and drama.
I know. Right?

Shouldn't it be "Seans Carrol"?

I like to emphasize: in parallel-world scenarios, the evil twin is always the one with the beard.

spsheridan.bsky.social•73 days ago

Yes! Case in point: Spock.

Counterpoint : Beard and glasses usually implies a cunning disguise. I think you're the same person using some fancy special camera tricks to bamboozle us!

Brian Cox syndrome.

Like the song from 10,000 Fingers of Dr. T, the little boys sings: "Just because you've whiskers on your face to shave, You treat us like a slave... So what? It's only hair."

OK, but without a beard you look a lot more like Eelon Mask.

Singing Carrolls, can we ask for that with all due respect? 😊
