The Higgs boson is the rock star of fundamental particles, catapulting CERN, the laboratory where it was found, into the global spotlight. But what is it, why does it matter, and what exactly is CERN? In the late 1940s, a handful of visionaries were working to steer Europe towards a more peaceful future through science, and CERN, the European particle physics laboratory, was duly born. James Gillies tells the gripping story of particle physics, from the original atomists of ancient Greece, through the people who made the crucial breakthroughs, to CERN itself, one of the most ambitious scientific undertakings of our time, and its eventual confirmation of the Higgs boson. Weaving together the scientific and political stories of CERNs development, the book reveals how particle physics has evolved from being the realm of solitary genius to a global field of human endeavour, with CERNs Large Hadron Collider as its frontier research tool.

No início do século XX, o meteorologista Alfred Wegener propôs uma das mais belas e audaciosas "heresias" científicas: os continentes não eram fixos, mas sim imensas jangadas à deriva em uma jornada

Al escribir este texto se ha intentado demostrar que las Ciencias físicas no son simplemente una colección o reunión de hechos que hay que recordar de memoria. Aunque estos hechos son necesarios, la memorizacion de formulas aparentemente sin significado no es lo que deberia ser la Ciencia. En lugar de ello, deseamos mostrar al alumno que la Ciencia es un modo de conseguir que adquiera significado y coherencia el conocimiento que en gran parte ya posee.

This is the second volume of the Marvels of God collection. I don t know precisely how many volumes I will publish since there are billions of wonders that God created. I have been talking about the wonders of God evident in botany, zoology, natural sciences, physics and chemistry among other fields of human knowledge where the Creator s signatures permeate. When you realize that every detail of the universe that surrounds us has a purpose, that nothing is unfinished, it becomes clear that there is a very intelligent mind behind the universe, and not only intelligent, but very powerful to be able to put your ideas to term. This BEING creates matter out of nothing, this BEING has all the resources of the universe in its power, this BEING has programmed each creature as a software embedded in the DNA of each living being. In the end there is no escape from God. God does not fear rebellion from creatures, God does not need anything, God likes to be liked by people who spontaneously love him. He created man with an intellectual capacity totally different from other creatures. This privileged human intelligence must come to understand part of the divine purposes, and surely God expects this from men.

Establecer los principios fundamentales de la Física con claridad y precisión es una misión de los textos de Física general. Pero normalmente esto no basta para entender la Física. Es necesario ilustrar estos principios con ejemplos sobre sus aplicaciones y los textos generales no pueden recargar excesivamente sus paginas con el numero necesario de ejercicios, cuestiones y problemas.Este es en lineas generales el proposito de los autores al escribir este libro.Completar la formacion del alumno de Fisica de la Universidad o Escuelas Tecnicas mediante una exposicion de cuestiones, ejemplos e ilustraciones tomadas en su mayor parte de la vida real.

Marie Curie fue un ejemplo para las mujeres que luchaban por el reconocimiento y la independencia y su contribución a la ciencia le mereció con dos premios Nobel.
