Features: It is very difficult to explain things like electron spin and proton decay, which are not of great interest to general readers, but this book succeeds. It is a highly readable book that offers excellent insights into theoretical particle physics and related disciplines—such as theoretical cosmology. Physical quantities do not possess any actual reality before they are measured, and such a thought greatly wounded Einstein's view of how physics should work. It led him to ask physicist Abraham Pais once with a hint of sadness whether he "really believed the moon only existed when you looked at it." This is not an easy question to answer.
