Beschreibung
A richly illustrated book on fundamental physics, cosmology, black holes, Higgs bosons, and time travel for a wide audience. This guide for an enjoyable visit to the Universe is humorous but not a joke. It establishes clear distinctions between things we know for sure and things that we know we do not know. In this sense, it is scientifically honest.

Über den Autor
Alvaro De Rújula was born in Madrid, where he studied physics and obtained his PhD. He has worked in Italy (International Institute of Theoretical Physics, Trieste), France (Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques), the USA (Harvard and Boston Universities) and CERN (in various positions, from Summer Student to leader of the Theory Division). He also is currently at the Instituto de Física Teórica of the Autonomous University of Madrid (IFT/UAM/CSIC). In the 1970's he contributed to the consolidation of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, mainly QCD and its charmed quarks. He has also worked on neutrinos (mass measurements and Earth tomography), the absence of antimatter in the Universe, how to discover the Higgs...
