How to Make Use of Our Limited Time in This Tiny Part of Space with Sean Carroll
During the pandemic, one thing we\u2019ve had a little more of--at least sometimes--is time. Time to panic and stress and worry, but also time to think and reflect.\nThis week, in the spirit of reflection, we\u2019re revisiting a conversation with theoretical physicist Sean Carroll recorded back in 2016. At the time he had just written a book called The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself, which explores questions about purpose and belief and meaning. Today, in 2022, his book is even more poignant.\nIf you\u2019ve ever found yourself feeling woefully insignificant relative to the vastness of space and time, Carroll\u2019s perspective might just change your life. He argues that since we only have a limited time in a tiny part of space, we need to make good use of every heartbeat.\nThe Big Picture is a poetic overview of the known universe, with deep insights into the human experience.Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/inquiringminds
