Here’s a video of the launch event at the Royal Institution, introduced and chaired by Brian Cox. An extract (from the US edition, Most Wanted Particle) was published in American Scientist.

Occasionally I get background comments, pictures or questions about things in the book. Also there are a few mistakes of course. Where these are interesting or factual (rather than obvious typos), I’ve added them to the pages below.

If you spot others please let me know (J.Butterworth at ucl.ac.uk  or @jonmbutterworth
