el Prize in Physics [US — Penguin Press, UK — Allen Lane, Audio — Penguin RH; Proposal; 50,000 words; Delivery: March 2019] An exciting new book by Frank Wilczek, one of the world's most eminent theoretical physicists and the most important of his generation. His scientific work provides the basis for the LHC

ze (2004) for work he did as a graduate student at Princeton University, when he was twenty-one years old, and the King Faisal Prize in 2005. Writes Wilczek: "The premise of the book is simple: I formulated ten basic propositions, which together convey the core of what every thinking person should know ab
