The Universe in the Rearview Mirror: How Hidden Symmetries Shape Reality
A physicist speeds across space, time and everything in between showing that our elegant universe—from the Higgs boson to antimatter to the most massive group of galaxies—is shaped by hidden symmetries that have driven all our recent discoveries about the universe and all the ones to come.

This book is a collection of stories about how some of the greatest scientific discoveries and inventions were made - and there are over 100 of them described here! As part of his History of Ideas, the author has compiled very intelligible explanations of some scientific concepts (like black holes, Planck time, and pulsars) and descriptions of how some other things (like pasteurization and continental drift) work. Most of the book comprises actual historical articles written by the scientists themselves about their discoveries, with introductory editorial commentary by Hamblyn, including brief pen portraits of the scientists.
