The author takes you on an exciting adventure full of unforgettable and vivid imagery. Solidly written with each character's personality shining through. If you find physics fascinating you will not be disappointed by the author's keen intellect and clear understanding of this most challenging (for me anyway) scientific subject. This is not a novel I will forget anytime soon, I would highly recommend it. Andrewly Very imaginative tale Anybody interested in a very imaginative and engrossing sci fi story needs to check this one out. I have been reading sci fi for decades and this story has elements that surprise me which is very unusual considering the number of novels and stories I have over the years. ric freeman Summary of the story The cosmic monopole has been wandering the Universe since it was created in the Big Bang. Its existence is fundamental to the way the Universe works. It is finally trapped by the powerful magnetic fields inside the ATLAS detector at CERN, Geneva, and begins to absorb protons from the LHC. Irish school-girl Catriona O’Brien knows nothing about this, of course. She has persuaded her adoring step-father Sam to bring her to Geneva on the pretext of visiting her mother Brigit who is the Irish Ambassador to the UN. But actually Catriona is trying to solve the mystery of how and why her scientist-father was killed in his Dublin laboratory six years ago, a murder to which she was the only witness. When they visit CERN, she meets the secretive little Chinese-Irish scientist Michael Zhang who not only worked with her father but has some knowledge about his death. But he is too busy to tell her the details. He is trying to solve a problem with ATLAS. The giant detector is being overwhelmed by an unusual amount of data. Everyone except Michael suspects a fault, but he knows that the monopole has been captured. However he keeps it secret and deliberately wastes time, waiting for the monopole to be transformed into a black hole, which he believes will be short-lived and harmless but fundamental for research. But the black hole persists and emerges from the detector. Sam and Michael battle to prevent it absorbing the whole world but are themselves absorbed. Moments later fragments of mysterious blue crystal emerge from the black hole and time stops everywhere in the Universe except near these crystals. Catriona can talk to Sam through her fragment, and he tells her she must collect all the others and bring them down a tunnel so Michael will be able to restart time and save the Universe. The only man who can help her is a womanising Hungarian entrepreneur Alex, with whom she has fallen in love but who seems completely unreliable. The Cosmic Monopole is the first volume in the Time Crystal series from Penny Press, a scifi-fantasy-romance on an epic scale whose setting is nothing less than the whole history of the Universe. This volume ends as Catriona finds and enters the tunnel. In future volumes she will embark upon an adventure that will take her back through time to the Big Bang and beyond. Catriona, Sam and others will struggle with particles and galaxies, with the very smallest and largest things in the Universe, as well as everything in between. But as she travels back in time, little does she know that other things, terrible and dangerous beings from beyond the Universe, are coming up that same tunnel trying to reach the Earth for a sinister and diabolical purpose. 10.00 SzGeCERN General Theoretical Physics BOOK BOOKSHOP CERN Central Library 82-3 SEA 201601 h 201601 21 https://catalogue.library.cern/legacy/2119521 BOOK MIGRATED 2000260 SzGeCERN 20210421222553.0 9780993932359 print version, paperback 0993932355 print version, paperback oai:cds.cern.ch:2000260 cerncds:BOOK eng 82-3 O'Brien MacDonald, Shane The counter-clock trilogy v.1 Superstring revolution : a novel Sydney Ankerville Street Productions North America 2015 426 p paper What if you went back in time to stop the September 11th terrorist attacks? One man did. This is his story. Time is running out for Joshua Sinclair—he’s stuck in the year 1987—with only one mission—warn the world of the events of September 11th, 2001—the only way to prevent his father’s death at the Pentagon. But no one believes what he has to say. Even worse, a group of CIA officers are tracking his every move, trying to stop him at every possible turn. With no one in the past he can trust, Joshua must take fate into his own hands—from Chicago, Washington, and West Berlin…to the battlefields of Soviet-occupied Afghanistan.

Als an einem sonnigen Augusttag eine Besuchergruppe wieder ans Tageslicht tritt, ist die gesamte Genfer Region, ja ganz Europa in einen Dornröschenschlaf gefallen. Die Besucher bewegen sich wie in einer "Fotografie der Welt". Steht die Zeit still? Was ist geschehen? Hat der Teilchenbeschleuniger eine Zeitkatastrophe verursacht? Die 70 "Chronifizierten" müssen mit einer traumatischen Situation von Einsamkeit, Macht und Ohnmacht zurechtkommen, Theorien entwickeln und Strategien des Zusammenlebens erproben. Obwohl für sie die persönliche Zeit weiterläuft, in der sogar Kinder geboren werden, sind sie scheinbar in alle Ewigkeit gefangen in der 42. Sekunde um 12:47 dieses Sommertags - bis nach fünf Jahren aus wahrhaft heiterem Himmel die Weltzeit plötzlich für 3 kostbare Sekunden weitertickt. Aus ihrer Lethargie gerissen, sammelt sich die inzwischen durch Krankheiten und mörderische Auseinandersetzungen dezimierte Gruppe zu einem "finalen Experiment". In diesem furiosen Roman schießen die erzählerischen Momente wie in einem Teilchenbeschleuniger zusammen: modernste Zeittheorien, existentielle Deutungen und eine mitreißende Sprache. Thomas Lehr legt mit diesem Roman das wichtigste Buch seines bisher vielfach preisgekrönten Werkes vor.

La direttrice del CERN, Helena Le Guin, teme però che insieme al plasma si stiano formando grumi letali di materia strana, in grado di scatenare una reazione a catena che potrebbe distruggere l'intero pianeta. Mentre Helena cerca disperatamente di far fronte alla crisi, a Ginevra arrivano Irene de Ávila, una giovane e promettente fisica teorica, e il maggiore Héctor Espinosa, un militare americano assegnato alla sede dell'ONU per lavorare a un progetto ultrasegreto legato alla non proliferazione delle armi nucleari: inizia così un'appassionante vicenda in cui convergono rivalità scientifiche, peripezie
