As you read this, billions of neutrinos from the sun are passing

core of your being is a chaotic mess of particles known only as
quarks and gluons. If the recent discovery of the Higgs boson
piqued your interest, then Why The Universe Exists will take you
deeper into the world of particle physics, with leading physicists
and New Scientist exploring how the universe functions at the
smallest scales. Find out about hunt for dark matter and why there
is something rather than nothing. Discover how accelerators such as
the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland are rewinding time to the
first moments after the big bang, and how ghostly neutrino
particles may hold the answers to the greatest mysteries of the
universe. ABOUT THE SERIES New Scientist Instant Expert books are
