Omschrijving
The definitive, behind-the-scenes account of the greatest science story of our time – a Best Science Book of the Year for the Guardian, Financial Times, and New Scientist
‘An authoritative account of science’s discovery of the year. Remarkable.’
‘This book is so hard to put down. That’s testament to Carroll, a practising scientist, also being a gifted writer.’
‘Compelling.’
‘A very good – and very accessible – guide to all the theoretical physics, precision engineering, data handling, probability-measuring and other marvels.’
‘Delightful… for anyone excited by the particle at the end of the universe, start here.’
‘Carroll keeps it real, getting at the complex guts of cutting-edge cosmology in discussions that will challenge fans of Hawking’s A Brief History of Time.’
‘The science is authoritative, yet bold and lively. The narrative is richly documented, yet full of human drama. Carroll’s saga pulls you aboard a modern voyage of discovery.’
‘In this superb book, Sean Carroll provides a fascinating and lucid look at the most mysterious and important particle in nature, and the experiment that revealed it. Anyone with an interest in physics should read this, and join him in examining the new worlds of physics to which this discovery may lead.’
Sean Carroll is a theoretical physicist at the California Institute of Technology. In addition to the Royal Society Winton Prize, he has been awarded prizes and fellowships from the National Science Foundation, NASA, the American Physical Society and the American Institute of Physics.
