Theoretical physicist Sean Carroll explores how the laws of physics and the principles of naturalism provide a framework for understanding the universe. He examines the emergence of complexity, life, and consciousness, proposing a philosophy of 'poetic naturalism' to reconcile scientific reality with human meaning and purpose.
