Reviews for Can the Laws of Physics Be Unified?

Langacker has written a useful and informative book that brings the standard model to a broad audience of scientists and aspiring scientists who are interested in the current status of particle physics. --Tom Lubensky, University of Pennsylvania Langacker is a renowned expert in particle physics who has made fundamental contributions to the field and lived through the golden era of the standard model. Not surprisingly, the scientific level of this informative book is impeccable. --Gian Francesco Giudice, author of A Zeptospace Odyssey: A Journey into the Physics of the LHC This book is a very worthwhile, balanced, and useful summary of our current understanding of the fundamental laws of physics. Langacker covers a large amount of material in a very digestible way. --Savdeep Sethi, University of Chicago
