Summary

Guido Tonelli: Matter: that wonderful illusion

What matter are our bodies made of? Is it the same as the matter of stars? When Democritus said that we are made of atoms, almost no contemporaries believed him. We had to wait for Galileo and Newton, and then wait another four hundred years to get to elementary particles, discovering in the process that the world around us has really unusual features, common to the most distant stars and wildflowers, supernovae and us human beings. The properties of matter that we take for granted today are essentially the rather uneven tip of an evolutionary iceberg that has been building for nearly fourteen billion years. In his style, very clearly, Guido Tonelli explains how elementary particles bind and form bizarre forms of correlated quantum states, primordial quarks and gluon soups or massive neutron stars, moving to the edges of science where the reliable solidity of matter becomes just a pleasant illusion. An unexpected journey into the world of modern physics that will lead us to see the universe, and even ourselves, with different eyes.
