Opis

On July 4th, 2012, one of physics' most exhilarating results was announced: a new particle - and very likely a new kind of particle - had been discovered by CERN's Large Hadron Collider, the huge particle accelerator designed to reproduce energies present in the universe a fraction of a second after the Big Bang. The particle's existence had been speculated on for nearly 50 years: here, finally, was proof. In this book, Professor Lisa Randall of Harvard University explains both this epochal discovery and it's startlingly beautiful implications.
