書籍簡介
諾貝爾獎得主利昂·萊德曼的粒子物理學迷人之旅。
在這本極其通俗易懂、詼諧幽默的書中，諾貝爾獎獲得者、物理學家利昂·萊德曼(Leon Lederman)帶領我們對粒子物理學的歷史進行了一次迷人的旅行。這本書把我們從希臘最早的科學觀察通過愛因斯坦和超越在一個鼓舞人心的慶祝人類的好奇心。它以對希格斯玻色子的探索而告終。希格斯玻色子被稱為“上帝粒子”，科學家假設它將有助于解開亞原子宇宙的最后秘密。隨著萊德曼的一個新的序言，上帝粒子將留下你驚嘆于我們對無窮小的持續追求。
粒子物理學的根本是一種不可戰勝的好奇心。Leon Lederman接受了這種探究的精神，他從希臘最早的科學觀察到愛因斯坦，并超越了這一獨特的科學研究臂。他的調查以綽號“上帝粒子”的希格斯玻色子結束，科學家們假設希格斯玻色子將有助于解開亞原子宇宙、夸克和其他一切的最后秘密——正是對這種近乎神秘的實體的不懈追求，激發了萊德曼詼諧而易懂的歷史。
In this extraordinarily accessible and enormously witty book, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman guides us on a fascinating tour of the history of particle physics. The book takes us from the Greeks' earliest scientific observations through Einstein and beyond in an inspiring celebration of human curiosity. It ends with the quest for the Higgs boson, nicknamed the God Particle, which scientists hypothesize will help unlock the last secrets of the subatomic universe. With a new preface by Lederman, The God Particle will leave you marveling at our continuing pursuit of the infinitesimal.
A fascinating tour of particle physics from Nobel Prize winner Leon Lederman.
At the root of particle physics is an invincible sense of curiosity. Leon Lederman embraces this spirit of inquiry as he moves from the Greeks' earliest scientific observations to Einstein and beyond to chart this unique arm of scientific study. His survey concludes with the Higgs boson, nicknamed the God Particle, which scientists hypothesize will help unlock the last secrets of the subatomic universe, quarks and all—it's the dogged pursuit of this almost mystical entity that inspires Lederman's witty and accessible history.
作者簡介
Leon Lederman 是粒子物理學的領軍人物，領導著世界上最負盛名的物理實驗室之一。他曾經獲得了諾貝爾獎，并首次把希格斯粒子稱為“上帝粒子”，以強調它的重要性，此后該說法廣為流傳。他漫長而充足的生活在當地時間 10 月 3 日早上戛然而止：Leon Lederman死于癡呆癥的并發癥，時年 96 歲。
Leon Lederman, Ph.D., a 1988 Nobel laureate in physics, is director emeritus of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, the Pritzker Professor of Science at the Illinois Institute of Technology, and a resident scholar at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy. Among the many awards he has received for his contributions to science are the Wolf Prize and the Enrico Fermi Award.
