...tools of the high-energy physicists are enormous machines?cyclotrons, synchrotrons, linear accelerators???that smash atoms and subatomic particles to bits and expose them to study. Already, the physicists know of some 30 particles that form atoms or can be knocked out of them by high-energy collisions. The great challenge confronting the physicist is to formulate sets of laws describing the interaction of such particles and, at an even deeper level, to explain the reason for their existence. Therein lies the key to the understanding of the matter?and of all nature...
