"Helen Quinn and Yossi Nir explain both the history of antimatter and recent advances in particle physics and cosmology. And they discuss the enormous, high-precision experiments that particle physicists are undertaking to test the laws of physics at their most fundamental levels - and how their results reveal tantalizing new possibilities for solving this puzzle at the heart of the cosmos." "The Mystery of the Missing Antimatter is at once a history of ideas and an exploration of modern science and the frontiers of human knowledge. This book reveals how the interplay of theory and experimentation advances our understanding and redefines the questions we ask about our universe."--Jacket
