The Particle Odyssey: A Journey to the Heart of Matter

Frank Close takes us on an exhilarating tour of the subatomic world, illustrated with beautiful photographs ofthe tracks of subatomic particles as they speed, curve, dance, or explode through cloud and bubble chambers.


Twenty-first century scientists want to find out how the universe came to be like it is. Their experiments involve a metaphorical journey back in time to within a billionth of a second of the Big Bang and constitute the latest stage in the quest to understand the matter that makes up our Universe and the forces that govern it. Close takes us on an exhilarating tour of the subatomic world, illustrated with beautiful photographs ofthe tracks of subatomic particles as they speed, curve, dance, or explode through cloud and bubble chambers.
