About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book is one of the most interesting introductions to today's problems and advances in the fields of cosmology, particle and nuclear physics that I have seen. … There are numerous examples where the reader is given easy ‘visualizations’ of scientific findings. … Helmut is interested in understanding old and new problems of physics and, building on many years of studies and deep reflection, successfully transmits this enthusiasm to the reader. It certainly triggers further thinking.” (Hermine K. Wöhri, CERN Courier, April, 2014)
