Suitable for non-experts in physics, this book provides a broad introduction to the field of particle physics through fictional discussions between three prominent physicists — Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, and Murray Gell-Mann — together with a modern physicist. Matter is composed of quarks and electrons. By following these discussions, the reader should acquire an overview of the current status of particle physics and come to understand why particle physics is an exciting field.
