The fascinating story of science in pursuit of the ghostly, ubiquitous subatomic particle--the neutrino.Isaac Asimov once observed of the neutrino: "The only reason scientists suggested its existence was their need to make calculations come out even. In Ghost Particle, Alan Chodos and James Riordon recount the dramatic history of the neutrino--from the initial suggestion that the particle was merely a desperate solution to a puzzle that threatened to undermine the burgeoning field of particle physics to its modern role in illuminating the universe via neutrino telescopes.Alan Chodos and James Riordon And yet the nothing-particle was not a nothing at all." In fact, as one of the most enigmatic and most populous particles in the universe--about 100 trillion are flying through you every second--the neutrino may hold the clues to some of our deepest cosmic mysteries.
