*A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice Selection*The first major biography of Peter Higgs, revealing how a short burst of work changed modern physicsOn July 4, 2012, the announcement came that one of the longestrunning mysteries in physics had been solved: the Higgs boson, the missing piece in understanding why particles have mass, had finally been discovered. On the rostrum, surrounded by jostling physicists and media, was the particles retiring namesakethe only person in history to have an existing single particle named for them. Why Peter Higgs? Drawing on years of conversations with Higgs and others, Close illuminates how an unprolific man became one of the worlds most famous scientists. Close finds that scientific competition between people, institutions, and states played as much of a role in making Higgs famous as Higgss work did.A revelatory study of both a scientist and his era, Elusive will remake our understanding of modern physics.
