Seller's Description:
Very good. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. Audience: General/trade. In 1964, Peter Higgs described an overarching theory of mass that depended on a hypothetical particle called the Higgs boson. Since then, the scientific community has been locked in an increasingly competitive race to prove its existence. On July 4, 2012, CERN physicists working on the large Hadron Colider announced that they had found a new subatomic particle that behaved very much like the purported Higgs boson. suggesting that the nearly half-century quest-which has cost billions of dollars and consumed the attention of scientific luminaries and politicians around the world-is finally over. Now with a new epilogue providing a behind-the-scenes look at the weeks and hours leading up to the finding and drawing on interviews with those leading the hunt, Ian Sample's Massive provides the thrilling backstory to what may well be the defining discovering of modern physics.
