I have to start by saying that if advanced particle physics shuns you away from a read like this, you need to forget that misconception and give this a shot. It’s written in a manner that allows someone with only a basic knowledge of particle physics to understand the history of the field, and where it’s going. It doesn’t make you feel dumb...it defines concepts and principals with enough rigor that you get it, but doesn’t push you through a crash course in the subject from MIT. I really enjoyed this book. I didn’t expect to like it so much honestly, but I will buy a hard copy for myself. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The IceCube Observatory has been called the "weirdest" of the seven wonders of modern astronomy by Scientific American. In The Telescope in the Ice, Mark Bowen tells the amazing story of the people who built the instrument and the science involved. Located near the U. S. Amundsen-Scott Research Station at the geographic South Pole, IceCube is unlike most telescopes in that it is not designed to detect light. It employs a cubic kilometer of diamond-clear ice, more than a mile beneath the surface, to detect an elementary particle known as the neutrino. In 2010, it detected the first extraterrestrial high-energy neutrinos and thus gave birth to a new field of astronomy. IceCube is also the largest particle physics detector ever built. Its scientific goals span not only astrophysics and cosmology but also pure particle physics. And since the neutrino is one of the strangest and least understood of the known elementary particles, this is fertile ground. Neutrino physics is perhaps the most active field in particle physics today, and IceCube is at the forefront. The Telescope in the Ice is, ultimately, a book about people and the thrill of the chase: the struggle to understand the neutrino and the pioneers and inventors of neutrino astronomy.
