OUR REVIEW

This is a fascinating book which takes us to the frontiers of scientific knowledge on subatomic physics and points at us the most important enigmas. These "dark points" of subatomic physics could be secret paths that would lead to unsuspected realities on the universe. Bernstein, a witness to many exciting experiments, tells us about antimatter, the ghostly neutrinos, space-time, and other hot questions.

Although the book deals with technical aspects in depth, which will be very positive for the readers specialized in physics, it maintains a divulgative level quite adequate for the general readership.
