"The history of particle physics, the hunt for the most elusive particle, and the
fundamental questions the search has inspired."--Book jacket ; " How did physicists
combine talent and technology to discover the Higgs boson, the last piece in our inventory
of the subatomic world? How did the Higgs change our understanding of the universe?
And now, nearly a decade after its detection, what comes next? Answering these questions,
Ivo van Vulpen--a CERN particle physicist and member of the team behind the detection--invites
us on a journey to the frontiers of our knowledge. Enjoy Van Vulpen's accessible
explanation of the history of particle physics and of concepts like quantum mechanics
and relativity, and ponder his inquiries regarding the search for new particles (to
explain dark matter), a new force (to combine the existing fundamental forces), and
new phenomena (undiscovered dimensions of space). This is a lively account of work
at the world's highest-energy particle accelerator, with inspiring personal reflections
on humanity's discoveries deeper and deeper into the world of the very small."--Book
