I picked this up because of my new fascination with dark matter and I was not disappointed. It was a very interesting look at particle physics and a lot more accessible than I thought it would be 😌

I challenged myself with this book, as I‘m not really scientifically minded... however, I‘m so curious about physics, I really wanted to learn all I could! This book was so interesting and the author really made super complex things easier to grasp! #Higgsboson #nonfiction #physics

Another selection I found used at Baldwin's Book Barn. Sean Carroll is a great author when it comes to learning about the physics of our universe.

I headed to the 'things too #complicated to understand' section of the library, and found a book (that actually looks pretty readable) about the search for the Higgs-Boson particle.

In reality, though, I picked this one for Sean Carroll's not-remotely-complicated dedication.

Cinfhen Love that dedication 🙌🏻💕and does the library actually have such a section??? 7y
rockpools @Cinfhen 😁 Yup. I think they label it Astrophysics or Quantum Physics or maybe just Physics! I want to read all the books there, but just looking at the blurbs tends to boggle my mind, and send me back to the safety of EU-Japan international relations (my work reading is thrilling right now!🤓) 7y
Cinfhen Yeah, I've never walked down those aisles before 🙄😂🙄your work read doesn't seem to light, either! 7y
