- Summary
- The "Ask a Physicist" columnist for io9.com explains how space, time, and everything in between are shaped by hidden symmetries that have driven recent discoveries about the universe
- Language

- Extent
- xxii, 330 pages
- Contents
-
- Introduction: In which I set everything up, so it's probably best not to skip ahead
- Antimatter : in which we learn why there is something rather than nothing
- Entropy : in which we explore where time comes from or whether it just is
- The cosmological principle : in which we learn why it is dark at night
- Emmy Noether : in which we determine what symmetry really means
- Relativity : in which we fail to build an intergalactic ansible
- Gravity : in which we learn why black holes don't last forever
- Replacement : in which we consider the design specifications for a teleportation device
- Spin : in which we investigate why you aren't a sentient cloud of helium and what a spoonful of neutron star would do to you
- Higgs : in which we explore the origin of mass and why physics isn't stamp collecting
- Hidden symmetries : in which objects in the mirror are closer than they appear
- Appendix
- Roadside attraction 1: The particle zoo
- Roadside attraction 2: A side of symmetrie
