The particle at the end of the universe / by Carroll, Sean,1966-(CARDINAL)544558;
The Higgs boson is the particle that more than six thousand scientists have been looking for using the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest and highest energy particle accelerator, which lies in a tunnel 17 miles in circumference, as deep as 575 feet beneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva. The multinational and multibillion-dollar quest to solve the mystery of mass has now cost over $9 billion and required the collaboration of engineers from more than one hundred countries.

The restaurant at the end of the universe / by Adams, Douglas,1952-2001.(CARDINAL)313074;
Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons? Time for a cup of tea! Join the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his uncommon comrades in arms in their desperate search for a place to eat, as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability. Among Arthurs motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a long-time friend and expert contributer to The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMillan, a fellow Earth refugee whos gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, the moody android. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food speaks for itself (literally). Will they make it? The answer: hard to say. But bear in mind that The Hitchhikers Guide deleted the term Future Perfect from its pages, since it was discovered not to be!900LAccelerated Reader AR

The particle at the end of the universe : how the hunt for the Higgs boson leads us to the edge of a new world / by Carroll, Sean,1966-author.(CARDINAL)544558;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 311-320) and index.Prologue -- The point -- Next to godliness -- Atoms and particles -- The accelerator story -- The largest machine ever built -- Wisdom through smashing -- Particles in the waves -- Through a broken mirror -- Bringing down the house -- Spreading the word -- Nobel dreams -- Beyond this horizon -- Making it worth defending -- Appendix one. Mass and spin -- Appendix two. Standard model particles -- Appendix three. Particles and their interactions.Scientists have just announced an historic discovery on a par with the splitting of the atom: the Higgs boson, the key to understanding why mass exists, has been found. Carroll takes readers behind the scenes of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN to meet the scientists and explain this landmark event. We only discovered the electron just over a hundred years ago and considering where that took us-- from nuclear energy to quantum computing-- the inventions that will result from the Higgs discovery will be world-changing.
