Inhaltsangabe

Although many people are talking about string theory, it may only amount to a passing fashion: It hasn’t yet been confirmed by experiment, the real test. What has? Where do we really stand?

Robert Oerter shows what the next step in physics will without question be based on: The Theory of Almost Everything―the single theory that has dominated elementary particle physics for the past thirty years. Cobbled together by many brilliant minds throughout the twentieth century, and modestly known as the “Standard Model of Elementary Particles,” it is the most wide-ranging and precise theory in the history of physics. From the chemical reactions that power all living things to the nuclear reactions that power the sun, except for gravity, it describes all known physical interactions.

Revealing the core idea of symmetry, and writing with rich metaphor and analogy, Oerter passionately celebrates the science/physics conceptual framework of the Standard Model.
