Description for Higgs Force: The Symmetry-Breaking Force that Makes the World an Interesting Place
Hardcover.
Higgs Force tells the story of how physicists have unlocked the secrets of matter and the forces of nature to produce dramatic modern understandings of the cosmos. For centuries researchers have followed this quest and now there is just one component of the modern synthesis of particle physics whose existence is yet to be confirmed in the laboratory - the Higgs particle. It explains how a universe built on simple symmetrical principles engenders life and exhibits the diversity and complexity that we see all around us.

Reviews for Higgs Force: The Symmetry-Breaking Force that Makes the World an Interesting Place
"Higgs Force takes a new approach to contemporary physics, and makes notoriously difficult material accessible and approachable. The book is very readable and entertaining, and I will certainly recommend it to my first year undergraduates, to whom it will greatly appeal." Tony Mann, President of the British Society for the History of Mathematics "Higgs Force, by Nicholas Mee, takes ... Read more
