This is based on the eponymous video series that Sean Carroll published on his channel during the pandemic (playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrxfgDEc2NxZJcWcrxH3j...).

He since has written an in-depth three-volume book series on these themes: https://preposterousuniverse.com/biggestideas/. (He recently also completed the third volume, Complexity and Emergence, but it will only be published next year.)
