Sci Fi novel about a visit to the head
office of a large particle accelator
If you can wade through this, especially Sample 2, you are
doing very well indeed. It requires, though not necessarily,
some working knowledge of elementary particles. Awareness
of Solar orbits also helps. All in all, the book was written
to try and put into transposable words facts that otherwise
can only be put in equations. The attempt cannot work beyond
a certain point at which the Law that says 'One picture is
worth ten thousand words' comes into effect and the 10,000
words cannot compete adequately to describe the one equation.
If you can get the grasp that the local Solar System is
cosmically vast, and also see that the elementary particle
underworld is equally vast and wide open, you will have
gisted these 'Glasstop' story samplers successfully.
