Goodreads asked Stephen Jacob Sekula:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Stephen Jacob Sekula I was inspired by books on physics (written for a more general audience) when I was younger, and so it seemed natural to me to one day contribute to the cycle of inspiration by documenting today's challenges in physics for the audience of tomorrow. Frank Blitzer initiated this book project many years ago, and several years back was joined by Jim Gates, who brought tremendous expertise in theoretical physics to the project. I was invited to join in 2016 due to my experimental particle physics expertise, and a wonderful collaboration was born. It was important to me to especially communicate about the Higgs particle, its discovery and implications. It was also important to me to communicate the mysteries of dark matter and the expansion of the universe.
