Opis
How the quest to understand quantum field theory led to extraordinary science, high politics, and the world's most expensive experiment
Forty or so years ago, three physicists - Peter Higgs, Gerard 't Hooft, and James Bjorken - made the spectacular breakthroughs that led to the world's largest experiment, the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Played out against a backdrop of high politics, low behaviour, and billion dollar budgets, this is the story of their work and its implications.
