pp. 322, “We know that physics is in crisis, with progress exceptionally slow and speculative theories going unproven. But what will finally break this logjam and get physics back on track? Anil Ananthaswamy wanted to answer this question, so he set off in search of physics’ most audacious experiments–the telescopes and detectors that promise to shed new light on things like dark matter, dark energy, and quantum gravity (the phenomenon that string theory tries to explain). He soon found himself at the edge of the earth–in cold and remote and sometimes dangerous places. As it turns out, extreme physics requires extreme environments.”
