Book Description

El bosón de Higgs ha sido descrito por muchos como el mayor avance en la comprensión de nuestro universo y como uno de los descubrimientos científicos más fascinantes de nuestro tiempo. Fundamental para comprender por qué existe la masa y por qué existen los átomos, esta escurridiza partícula ha sido hallada por fin después de una inversión de 9.000 millones de dólares, décadas de esfuerzo y el trabajo de cerca de seis mil investigadores en el Gran Colisionador de Hadrones de Ginebra.
El físico del Caltech, Sean Carroll, lleva a los lectores entre los bastidores del Gran Colisionador de Hadrones en el CERN, para encontrarse con teóricos, ingenieros y experimentalistas, arroja luz sobre este hito científico y explica la ciencia del bosón de Higgs, erróneamente conocido como «la partícula divina».
Con el bosón se descubre la última pieza del rompecabezas de la materia ordinaria: los átomos y las fuerzas que subyacen en todas partes, desde el ADN hasta el calentamiento global. Ahora se abre una puerta de entrada a lo extraordinario: el alucinante mundo de la materia oscura y más allá.
La partícula al final del universo no solo explica la importancia del bosón de Higgs, sino también la del Gran Colisionador de Hadrones. Una historia de cómo el ansia de conocimiento del ser humano ha conducido el mayor logro científico de nuestro tiempo.

Sean Carroll

ean Carroll is Homewood Professor of Natural Philosophy at Johns Hopkins University and Fractal Faculty at the Santa Fe Institute. His research focuses on fundamental issues in quantum mechanics, gravitation, statistical mechanics, and cosmology. He has wide-ranging interests, including in philosophy, complexity theory, and information.
Carroll is an active science communicator, and has been blogging regularly since 2004. His textbook "Spacetime and Geometry" has been adopted by a number of universities for their graduate courses in general relativity. He is a frequent public speaker, and has appeared on TV shows such as The Colbert Report and Through The Wormhole with Morgan Freeman. He has produced a set of lectures for The Teaching Company on dark matter and dark energy, and another on the nature of time. He has served as a science consultant for films such as Thor and TRON: Legacy, as well as for TV shows such as Fringe and Bones.
His 2010 popular book, "From Eternity to Here," explained the arrow of time and connected it with the origin of our universe. "The Particle at the End of the Universe," about the Large Hadron Collider and the quest to discover the Higgs boson, was released November 2012, "The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself" in May 2016, and "Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime" in 2019. His next book project is "The Biggest Ideas in the Universe," which will consist of three books. The first, "Space, Time, and Motion," appears in September 2022.
