A great read overall.
My eyes glazed a little bit in the later chapter that went into the specifics of all the fields, symmetries and interactions of the Higgs mechanism but mostly this was very accessible.
Only complaint is the Audible narrator pronouncing “long lived” as “long live-d” 🤣

Great tour of particle physics, CERN and the LHC so far but the book may have peaked with the Audible narrator actually doing the Insane Clown Posse rap 😂
