Mysteries of modern physics [sound recording] : time / by Carroll, Sean M.,1966-(CARDINAL)544558; Teaching Company.(CARDINAL)349444;
Accompanying course guidebook Includes bibliographical references.Sean Carroll, California Institute of Technology, lecturer.Designed for nonscientists as well as those with a background in physics, this course shows how a feature of the world that we all experience connects us to the instant of the formation of the universe-- and possibly to a multiverse that is unimaginably larger and more varied than the known cosmos.

Dark matter, dark energy [videorecording] : the dark side of the universe by Carroll, Sean.; Teaching Company.(CARDINAL)349444;
Producer, Zachary H. Rhoades ; director, Jon Leven ; camera operators, Jim Allen, Alexis Doty, Lonnie Anderson (et. al.) ; academic content supervisor, Jay Tate.Taught by Sean Carroll, professor at California Institute of Technology.Dr. Carroll explains the subject of dark matter and dark energy in 24 lectures. He explains why scientists believe we live in a smooth, expanding universe that originated in a hot, dense state called the Big Bang. He describes the features of the infant universe that led to the large-scale structure we observe today. He takes you through the standard model of particle physics and shows how it provides the framework for understanding the interaction of all matter and radiation. And, he helps you understand why dark matter and dark energy are logical consequences of a wide range of scientific theories and observations and how together they complete a grand picture of the universe that has emerged over the last century.DVD.
