The Infinity Puzzle: Quantum Field Theory and the Hunt for an Orderly Universe

Speculation is rife that by 2012 the elusive Higgs boson will be found at the Large Hadron Collider. If found, the Higgs boson would help explain why everything has mass. But thereâ€™s more at stake?what weâ€™re really testing is our capacity to make the universe reasonable. Our best understanding of physics is predicated on something known as quantum field theory.

[ 4.0 stars ] "The theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED) which describes the interaction of light and matter is the most accurate theory in all of science, providing almost unbelievably accurate agreement with experiment. Yet in the middle of the twentieth century the theory was in a deep crisis. Calculations of even the simplest of events in the subatomic world, like the absorption and emission of a photon by ..."

[ 3.0 stars ] "If you are interested in the minute details of who-did-what-first in the evolution of the Standard Model, and you really care about who got Nobel prizes and who did not but really deserved to, then this is the book for you. I don't care about either very much, so a good part of this book was a waste of my time.The descriptions of basic physics models is always very challenging, and Close tries ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "This book focuses on a theme that provided a challenge for physicists for around a quarter of a century: Resolving the infinity puzzle for the weak force that exists within atomic structures.This theme provides the continuity for a book which is as much about the physicists who tried to solve the puzzle as it is about the puzzle itself. Close does a superb job of weaving the ups and downs of scien ..." Courtesy by Amazon
