The discovery of a new elementary particle at the Large Hadron
Collider at CERN in 2012 made headlines in world media. Since we
already know of a large number of elementary particles, why did
this latest discovery generate so much excitement? This small book
reveals that this particle provides the key to understanding one of
the most extraordinary phenomena which occurred in the early
Universe. It introduces the mechanism that made possible, within
tiny fractions of a second after the Big Bang, the generation of
massive particles. The Origin of Mass is a guided tour of cosmic
evolution, from the Big Bang to the elementary particles we study
in our accelerators today. The guiding principle of this book is a
concept of symmetry which, in a profound and fascinating way, seems
to determine the structure of the Universe.
