The mysterious particles of physics, part 1
The machine that discovered the Higgs Boson 10 years ago is about to restart after a massive upgrade, to dig deeper into the heart of matter and the nature of the Universe.
The machine that discovered the Higgs Boson 10 years ago is about to restart after a massive upgrade, to dig deeper into the heart of matter and the nature of the Universe.
Roland Pease returns to CERN鈥檚 27-kilometre Large Hadron Collider (LHC) dug deeper under the Swiss-French border to meet the scientists wondering why the Universe is the way it is. He hears why the Nobel-prize winning discovery of the 鈥淗iggs Particle鈥� remains a cornerstone of the current understanding of the nature of matter; why the search for 鈥渄ark matter鈥� 鈥� 25% of the cosmos - is proving to be so hard; and CERN鈥檚 plans for an atom smasher 4 times as big to be running by the middle of the century.
