Talks from the TEDxCaltech event are gradually coming online. You’ll definitely want to check out Scott Aaronson’s contribution, which was a clear highlight. (The biggest highlight was the closing jam session featuring keyboard wizard Lyle Mays and Tuvan throat-singer Ondar. You heard right.)
Bloggy narcissism demands that I feature my own talk. It was about the arrow of time, with some Feynman thrown in. As usual, the clip is frozen at at point that shows me to best advantage.
Cosmology and the arrow of time: Sean Carroll at TEDxCaltech
But just to show it’s not all about me, you should also see this talk by awesome undergrad Jordan Theriot. I would have been a puddle of nervous jelly in this venue at that age.

One great TEDxCaltech talk by Susskind:

Great stuff Sean, nice slides too.
One Q, could it be a universal Turtle and not a chicken that began our universe?
Oh, very awesome stuff. Very.
Great talk Sean… Jennifer must’ve been proud of you 🙂
Excellent talk Sean. I learnt a lot.
But I have to ask, where does bloggy narcissism start and shameless self-promotion end? 🙂
Not entirely shameless. I feel a smidgen of shame.
But Sean, after nearly a week, you still haven’t raised the glass in praise of the single, one-of-a-kind, amazing CalTech basketball victory.
