<br/><br/> By probing deeper and deeper into the innermost recesses of the atom, physicists have been able to obtain not only a better understanding of the vast cosmos but indeed of the origin of the cosmos itself. This book is about the greatest adventure in human history man's attempt to reconstruct Creation by a combination of the most daring flights of imagination and mind-boggling experiments. It is, in short, the study of high-energy physics which may aptly be called the second Creation, or man His attempt to reconstruct Creation.
