<br/><br/>By probing deeper and deeper into the innermost recesses of the atom, physicists have been able to obtain not only a better understanding of the vast cosmos but indeed of the origin of the cosmos itself. This book is about the greatest adventure in human history—man’s attempt to reconstruct Creation by a combination of the most daring flights of imagination and mind-boggling experiments. It is, in short, the study of high-energy physics which may aptly be called the second Creation, or man’s attempt to reconstruct Creation.  Reconstructing Creation - An Introduction  Then and Now  A Pot-Pourri of Some Basic Facts  From the Thirties to the Sixties  A Weak Story  Fun with Mirrors  Big Money for Small Particles  The Eight-fold Way  Adding Charm to Quarks  Electrifying the Weak  Splicing Flavour with Colour  What Next ?
