The levity lightens the mood the art is breathtaking.Ī home-renovation project is interrupted by a family of wrens, allowing a young girl an up-close glimpse of nature. While there are many recent children’s books that celebrate identity, make room for this one, which blends subtle humor and superb design for a profound, deftly conveyed message. But seeing its reflection in a dazzling diamond helps the rock grasp its own beauty-and the worth of those around it.
The effect of the gorgeous, multicolored gems (also with eyes) on the main character is palpable: “These rocks shock and glow and humble.” The rock wonders how it can be special, too, and imagines following the same rocky journeys as the others or molding itself to be like Michelangelo’s David or various famous paintings whose faces have been replaced with rocks. Liu’s watercolor and digital compositions include softly textured landscapes with rounded green hills showcasing the domed edifice. When a brochure advertising “The World’s Most Beautiful Gem” blows by, the protagonist joins throngs of other stones headed to the Museum of Rocks. Adults may hear a Paul Simon refrain after the first line-“I am a rock”-while emerging readers will appreciate the smooth rhymes and simple language that nevertheless convey deep thoughts. With just a hint of movement, they express exactly what the gray, speckled half-orb is feeling. It’s the Jon Klassen eyes that pull viewers in: black pupils on gray/green irises atop white ovals. A rock explores existential questions and is the wiser for its efforts. "Book Review: "Something Deeply Hidden" by Sean Carroll". "Just how conceptually economical is the Many Worlds Interpretation?". "Post-empirical science is an oxymoron, and it is dangerous". "Does the many-worlds interpretation hold the key to spacetime?".

Science writer Jim Baggott criticized the publication of Something Deeply Hidden and the many world interpretation more broadly as "post-empirical science". Writing in Physics Today, Matthew Leifer was more critical, saying that "the alternatives to are not as hopeless as Carroll makes them out to be" and finding Carroll's treatment of Bell's theorem too superficial. Reviews in Publishers Weekly and Kirkus were generally positive, while the latter noted that Carroll's "eschewing mathematics" may have been somewhat detrimental when discussing topics that "might benefit from at least a little math," observing, "Readers who remember freshman college physics will be intrigued others will struggle." Physicist and writer Adam Frank in his review for NPR wrote that he did not in the end find Carroll's arguments convincing (Frank himself leans in the direction of QBism), but that Carroll's case was "carefully reasoned" and his presentations of the various opposing views were fair. In this book, Carroll examines the reasons why people misunderstand quantum mechanics and advocates a version of the many-worlds interpretation, while objecting to the views often grouped together as the Copenhagen interpretation. The book, his fifth, was released on Septemby Dutton. Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime is a non-fiction book by American theoretical physicist Sean M.
