But why do they cancel out perfectly, leaving neutral matter? That, it turns out, is a profound question, and still unanswered. Frank Close delves into the quantum subatomic world to investigate the clues, introducing us to the current understanding of fundamental forces and charges associated with particles like quarks, leptons, neutrinos, and pions. He tells of the hopes of grand unification theories, which suggest that matter is unstable; and the latest ambitious experiments that watch for signs of proton decay.
