“The science is authoritative, yet bold and lively. The narrative is richly documented, yet full of human drama.  Carroll’s saga pulls you aboard a modern voyage of discovery.”

Frank Wilczek, Nobel Laureate, author of The Lightness of Being

Caltech physicist and acclaimed author Sean Carroll offers listeners this eye-opening profile of the Large Hadron Collider and the search for the mysterious Higgs boson particle, the subatomic building block that imbues elementary particles with mass. Here Carroll chronicles how such a complex project got off the ground in the first place and explains why this discovery is so important, and what it means for the future of physics.
