English Summary/英文概要： The big rush to the God Particle and the new Physics that will change the world.
The discovery of the Higgs boson as told by one of its protagonists. An accomplishment that will revolutionize the idea that we have of ourselves and of the world around us.
“Everything is precarious. The human condition is as fragile as the gigantic structures of the universe, even those that seem immortal.”
At that precise moment, a hundredth of a billionth of a second after the Big Bang, our destiny was decided.
In a universe where matter and antimatter were equivalent, and that therefore could have gone back any moment to being pure energy, a slight preference of the Higgs boson for matter instead of antimatter can have been enough for the world as we know it to be produced. “Here is the flaw, the subtle imperfection that gave birth to everything. An anomaly that gives rise to a universe that can evolve for billions of years.”
If everything comes from there, we need to understand in each detail that crucial moment, rebuild it frame by frame, in slow motion and from different angles. For this reason, at CERN in Geneva, LHC was created: the most powerful particle collider in the world, the place most similar to the first moment of life of the universe that man has been able to build. For this, for years, the world’s best physicists have been working day and night, at the four corners of the planet. This is how the “God particle” was captured. And this is why the studies continue, to better understand how all this was born and how our story will end: if in the cold and in the dark, or in a cosmic catastrophe that would give us the privilege of a much more spectacular exit.
Guido Tonelli is one of the protagonists of this great adventure, one of the leaders of this army of visionaries. Here, with the attitude of an explorer, he tells what it means to push beyond the extreme limit of knowledge, what it means to make the discovery of the century on the day of one’s birthday, what it means to understand how it all began and will probably end.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在宇宙大爆炸后不到十亿分之一秒的百分之一的时间里，我们的命运已经被决定了。
在这样一个宇宙中，物质和反物质是等价的，并且因此可能会在任何时刻转化为纯粹的能量。但人们仍旧倾向于认为物质来源于希格斯玻色子而不是反物质，这说明我们更愿意相信我们已经足够了解世界是如何形成的。“问题是，正是轻微的不完美催生了万物。一次异常之后，才有了这个进化了数十亿年的宇宙。”
如果一切都来自大爆炸，那么我们需要了解关于这个关键时刻的每一个细节、一帧一帧地通过慢动作、从不同的角度再现这个时刻。为此，在日内瓦的欧洲核子研究中心内有了LHC：世界上最强大的粒子对撞机，也是人类第一次能够制造出最接近宇宙形成的环境。也是为此，世界上最好的物理学家一直在日以继夜地在各地工作。这是为了捕获“上帝粒子”，也是为什么这样的研究将一直持续下去，以更好地了解这一切是如何诞生，又将如何结束。我们会在寒冷和黑暗中灭绝吗？又或者是一次宇宙大灾难，让人类的退场更为壮观呢？
Guido Tonelli是这场伟大冒险的领导者之一，也是这支有远见的军队的率领者之一。本书以一个探索者的角度，讲述了不断推动自己超越知识极限的意义，讲述了在自己生日那天收获了世纪发现的感受，也讲述了为什么我们想要知道自己从哪里来、又将到哪里去。（LYR）
