Before the Higgs boson, there was a maddening search for another
particle that holds the secrets of the universe - the neutrino.
First detected in 1956, it teased the answers to science's greatest
mysteries. How did the Big Bang happen? What might 'dark matter' be
made of? And could faster-than light travel be possible,
overturning Einstein's theory of special relativity? But the hunt
for the neutrino and its meaning has also involved adventures, from
Cold War defections and extra dimensions to mile-deep holes in the
Antarctic ice and a troubled genius who disappeared without a
trace. Renowned astrophysicist and award-winning science writer Ray
Jayawardhana delivers a thrilling detective story of revolutionary
science from the dawn of the quantum age to today's most inventive
labs.
