Description
"This is the story of how twentieth century physicists revealed layer upon layer of structure within the atom to reach the basic particles of matter. Both particle physics and cosmology are made accessible to a reader familiar with some basic principles of physics. The Charm of Strange Quarks relates the drama of the discovery of the charm quark, describes the ephemeral neutrino that can traverse the diameter of Earth, explores indications of dark matter and an accelerating universe, and then culminates with the discovery of the top quark and speculations about the existence of extra space dimensions."--BOOK JACKET.
