This book of essays in four parts, was written over a decade and
full of surprises for the breadth and variety of its subject
matter. The first part is about the foundations of the quantum
theory which reflects the author's many conversations with the late
John Bell who persuaded him that there is still no satisfactory
interpretation of the theory. The second part deals with nuclear
weapons. One of the essays concerns the creation of the modern gas
centrifuge which was done by German prisoners of war in the Soviet
Union. The proliferation of these centrifuges was one of the issues
in the spread of nuclear weapons. The third section deals with
financial engineering with a profile of Louis Bachelier, the French
mathematician who created it at the beginning of the 20th century.
The final section deals with the Higgs boson and how it is used for
generating mass. It includes a detailed article of how this
mechanism works.
