I am not a scientist and have little scientific education - but I so enjoy learning about all things physics. And Sean Carroll is one of my favorite people to listen to and learn from. I so enjoy these lectures. Thank you.
-
This dude is really great at explaining this. Once he got into quantum fields I was like "oh no, this is going off the rails" but he really broke everything down quite well. Subscribed!
-
Paul Dirac, created the name BOSON , in honor of the Indian mathematician , Satyendra Nath Bose, who with Einstein , is the creator of the Bose-Einstein Statistics, which helped to define this group of particles. A relevant piece of history .
-
Great teachers and great minds are a rare combination ... Sean Carroll epitomizes both.
-
Dr. Carroll spoke extemporaneously for some 30 minutes, without a single hitch, nor a single stutter ! Amazing ! So glad he was never in the same class as I.
-
0:52 the anouncement of the Higgs Boson measurement "was a massive worldwide media sensation". Of course, if there weren't a Higgs Boson, it would not have been massive... 😄
-
this lecture was fantastic for us non-physicists
-
CALTECH, got a bargain to have Sean Carroll. Much more intelligent than anyone in the running.
-
I have always wanted to understand this on a higher level. You did an AMAZING job of explaining this as someone who knows little to nothing about physics.Thank you!!
-
What a beautiful lecture Mr Sean Carrol, You should be one of the most popular professors.
-
I feel like I have been rechristened, taking me back to my college days some 30 years ago. And I could gather much more from Sean's 30 minutes lecture than I have been able to since Higgs Boson news broke out from CERN in 2012.....
-
Sean does an EXCELLENT job at explaining. Thank you so much, Sean! You ARE making a difference.
-
I have the tiniest grasp of the concept of particles now i have fields to confuse the hell out of me.
-
Higgs Boson walks into a Catholic church: "Hey! What are you doing here?? You know you can't have Mass without me!!!"
-
"Nature will surprise us once again." I loved that line!
-
Thanks for this great video Wondrium! Sean is the best communicator for this kind of subjects.
-
Beautiful. Thanks for explaining this so clearly.
-
Sir hats off and bow down... You have represented all the scientists and all the history past present and future of Existence ! I want to listen to your lectures always !
-
Excellent presentation. Seems like he is speaking from memory and not just reading. Each time the camera angle changes it's like a new paragraph as he moves to a new topic point and he seamlessly follows the camera angle without disrupting the flow. Very compelling delivery of a complex topic and well put together with the background graphics too.

I’m just a retired country doctor what enjoy science so much. Thank you for your excellent presentation.
