Understandable, yes. Mindblowing, no. *by E***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2016* This book was interesting but did not blow my mind. Here's what would have blown my mind. "The Universe started out as energy. Yet today most of it is matter. We all know that matter and energy are interchangeable. We even know how they equate: the change in energy equals the change in mass times the speed of light squared (E = mC2). We are also pretty good at changing matter to energy, in nuclear power plants and hydrogen bombs. What we don’t know how to do is change energy to matter. And that must happen a lot, or the universe would be mostly energy and I wouldn’t be here to write this book. So how does that happen? It turns out that it requires a field that affects energy particles and gives them mass. This is the story of why we need that field and how the CERN Large Hadron Collider proved that it exists.” Don Lincoln is very good at explaining complex particle physics in layman’s terms. He is not very good at translating the mysteries that excite a particle physicist into adventures that excite a layman. If you are interested in CERN, the LHC, and the Higgs Boson, by all means read this book. If you want to have your mind blown by cosmic mysteries, stick with Steven Hawking. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book *by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2019* Great overview of the LHC. Does a review of all of the particles. I have been following all of the particle stuff for years through Scientific American and thought I knew more, the book reminded me I don't. You can probably enjoy the book more if you just read about the particles and not get hung up on remembering all of their properties, which I tried to do, but not being a particle physicist it is tough, so just read about them and continue the books narrative. The descriptions are all very readable for the non-physicist if you don't get hung up on particle specifics. I agree with Larry, the dual mention of every property in English and Metric units is very annoying. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT INSIGHTS *by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2015* Great insight into the workings of the LHC -- be prepared for extreme detail. Two flaws (in my mind): Each and every measurement of size, distance, etc., is given in both English and metric units; very distracting. Too many awkward comparisons in an attempt to clarify concepts. He should realize that anyone reading the book can grasp the ideas without comparisons to too simple things. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/7524393-the-large-hadron-collider-the-extraordinary-story-of-the-higgs](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/7524393-the-large-hadron-collider-the-extraordinary-story-of-the-higgs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-07*
