N1  - 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’s attempt to reconstruct Creation; Reconstructing Creation - An Introduction; Then and Now; A Pot-Pourri of Some Basic Facts; From the Thirties to the Sixties; A Weak Story; Fun with Mirrors; Big Money for Small Particles; The Eight-fold Way; Adding Charm to Quarks; Electrifying the Weak; Splicing Flavour with Colour; What Next ?
