About this audiobook
Seventeen particles, three forces, one field of mass, and every test passed for fifty years: this is the story of the Standard Model, the most successful theory ever constructed. It follows the assembly piece by piece, from Dirac's equation and the positron it predicted, through Yang and Mills's symmetry that became a force, the quarks that tamed the particle zoo, the color charge that made the strong force a gauge theory, Glashow, Weinberg, and Salam's electroweak unification, and the Higgs mechanism that gave everything its mass, to the colliders that confirmed every prediction one by one, the neutral currents, the W and Z bosons, the top quark, and the Higgs boson itself in 2012, the last missing piece.
