  I wish someone combined this series in one ginormous book. It would be Penrose’s “The Road To Reality”, but much more accessible.

  Dr. Carroll, may you succeed in your own breakthroughs. You have made the world a better place by making this series.

  Hi Professor Sean, really sorry to hear that we are coming to the end of this amazing series. But THANKS a million anyway, for the most informative, educational &amp; interesting videos on the whole of YouTube. <br>Please don’t forget about the possibility of releasing the entire series on DVD. That would be great, and I’m sure you’d have plenty of takers. <br>Best wishes as always from West Wales. And my sincerest thanks once again.

  Honestly big big shoutout to Sean. He didn&apos;t have to make these videos, he certainly doesn&apos;t make much money from them, and he took a LOT of time to make them, even going to the trouble of finding some cool graphics to make the whole thing a little more dynamic to watch. Some of the topics are way over my head but he balances talking to laymen vs showing you how deep the subject is and alluding to things you might have a tiny grasp of, and you gain just that little bit more when someone leaves a bit of the complexity in the lecture.<br><br>He was really born to teach and explain. Whether or not he makes some big monumental physics discovery one day, he will no doubt be responsible for fostering the love for this topic in many young people who will further the cause. If i wasnt a 30-something lawyer with crappy math skills, I&apos;d definitely go become a physicist and a big part of it is inspiring figures like this man.

  Professor Carroll: I wish you&apos;d make a &quot;bonus video&quot; on the way you organized or designed this whole project. You clearly allowed for enough spontaneity in the presentations, and Q&amp;A, underpinned by a a conceptual plan. If you could share with us your cognitive experience, how you imagined it, and how it came out. I think this project was a big idea too, and I thank you for it...and look forward to its published book form.

  I&apos;d just like to say as a casual viewer, as someone who is moderately familiar with mathematics &amp; physics: I really appreciate this series, and hope you can go into more depth at a later date. You&apos;re filling a niche that doesn&apos;t really exist on youtube yet, and the platform as a whole (never mind the internet) can benefit from having experts like you simply make their own content, the way they want it, and cut through the middlemen.

  THE &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;UNIVERSE &nbsp; &nbsp; IS &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;SIMPLY &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;COMPLEX &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; !!! &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; :face-green-smiling:

  Your &quot;Biggest Ideas&quot; videos are way over my head, but I still sit here and watch them all. &nbsp;You&apos;re so good at explaining that I actually feel like I understand what you&apos;re talking about. &nbsp;Just don&apos;t ask my to explain what I learned to anyone else.

  For me, this series is right up there with Feynman&apos;s Messenger Lectures. Thank you for this amazing series!
