Review of 'The Particle at the End of the Universe' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I liked the explanation of gauge symmetry as it not mattering if your experimental device is rotated compared to someone else's experimental device. This is a good book for laymen/laywomen who are mathphobic as this book (I admit I have only half read it as a lot of the material is already familiar to me) doesn't seem to utilize any.
The hopeful comment in the book about detecting dark matter with the LHC comes off as sad now. The benefits of hindsight, I suppose. They did find the Higgs, though, so that's nice!
