Almost without realizing it, our understanding of the deeper reality of Nature has changed dramatically over the past twenty years. We are now tantalizingly close to a long-desired revolution: the Grand Unification of the fundamental forces of Nature.

Frank Wilczek, a particularly distinguished physicist, played a leading role in establishing this new Paradigm and in the prospect of a majestic unification of all the forces of Nature. This book is the first to address the implications of the revolutionary developments in modern physics, the definitive confirmation of which is expected to arise from the ongoing experiments at CERN.

An astonishing picture of our marvelous Universe, the vision of a new golden age in fundamental physics.
