Lucifer's Legacy by Fe Close
For many centuries, scientists have investigated the "fearful symmetry" that seemed to underlie the Universe. But increasingly, it looks as though life is the result of cosmic asymmetry, and scientists are now preparing to uncover the asymmetries at the heart of the Big Bang. This text follows the trail, from subtle asymmetries in Nature to the mysterious Higg's boson that scientists now believe may hold the key to the birth of the Universe itself.Frank Close is the author of 15 popular physics books, including Half-Life, a biography of Bruno Pontecorvo, Antimatter, The Infinity Problem, and Very Short Introductions to Nothing and Particle Physics, which won an award. He is a former Head of Communications and Public Education at CERN and a professor of physics at Oxford University. He received the Royal Society's Michael Faraday Award for science communication in 2014, and he is the only scientist to have won the Association of British Science Writers' Prize three times.
