Einstein's Unfinished Dream - Practical Progress Towards a Theory of Everything

Humanity has long looked to the sky and marveled at the world around us. We''ve wondered why the world is the way it is and whether it must be that way. We dream of a time when we have developed a theory of everything--a theory that answers all questions. Einstein''s Unfinished Dream explores the cutting-edge research of modern particle physicists that pushes us slowly towards this theory. Marshalling decades of experience in distilling high-level scientific concepts, Lincoln invites readers into the mysteries of dark matter, dark energy, matter/antimatter asymmetry, quark and lepton flavor, and other phenomena that have puzzled humanity for centuries.
