Sean explains why the geometry of spacetime has anything to do with gravity, and how this famous equation expresses the way that spacetime curves. Sean Carroll is Homewood Professor of natural philosophy at Johns Hopkins University. He won the Royal Society Winton Prize for his book about the search for the elusive Higgs boson, The Particle at the End of the Universe, and The Big Picture was an international bestseller. His most recent book is Something Deeply Hidden. He lives in Baltimore. Copies of Sean's latest book, 'The Biggest Ideas in the Universe 1: Space, Time and Motion', are available from Amazon and all good bookstores.
