About the Author x
Preface
xi
Foreword by Steven
Weinberg xiv
Prologue: Form and Substance
ι
Part I: Invention
ι
The Poetry of Logical Ideas
19
In which German mathematician Emmy Noether
discovers the relationship between conservation
laws and the deep symmetries of nature
2
Not a Sufficient Excuse
38
In which Chen
Ning
Yang and Robert Mills try to
develop a quantum field theory of the strong nuclear
force and annoy Wolfgang
Pauli
3
People Will Be Very Stupid About It
54
In which Murray Gell-Mann discovers
strangeness and the Eightfold Way1, Sheldon
Glashow applies Yang-Mills field theory
to the weak nuclear force, and people are
very stupid about it
vii
CONTENTS
4
Applying the Right Ideas to the Wrong Problem
73
In which Murray Gell-Mann and George
Zweig
invent quarks and Steven
Weinberg
and Abdus
Salam
use the Higgs mechanism to give mass to the
W
and
Z
particles (finally!)
5
I Can Do That
96
In which Gerard
t Hooft
proves that Yang-Mills
field theories can be renormalized and Murray
Gell-Mann and
Harald
Fritzsch develop a theory
of the strong force based on quark colour
Part II: Discovery
6
Alternating Neutral Currents
117
In which protons and neutrons are shown to
have an internal structure and the predicted
neutral currents of the weak nuclear force are found,
and then lost, and then found again
7
They Must Be Ws
135
In which quantum chromodynamics is formulated,
the charm-quark is discovered, and the
W
and
Z
particles are found, precisely where they were
predicted to be
8
Throw Deep
154
In which Ronald Reagan throws his weight
behind the Superconducting Supercollider, but
when the project is cancelled by Congress six years
later all that remains is a hole in Texas
VIII
CONTENTS
9
A Fantastic Moment
169
In which the Higgs boson is explained in terms
that a British politician can understand, hints of
the Higgs are found at
CERN,
the Large Hadron
Collider is switched on, and then blows up
10
The Shakespeare Question
191
In which the LHC performs better than anyone expected
(except Lyn Evans), a year s data is gathered in a few
months and the Higgs boson runs out of places to hide
Epilogue: The Construction of Mass
220
Endnotes 222
