The Large Hadron Collider Is More Insane Than You Think

What gives matter its mass? To answer the biggest question in physics, scientists built the most complex machine in human history: a 27km ring buried 100 meters under the Swiss-French border. By accelerating particles to a fraction of a second after the Big Bang, the Large Hadron Collider attempts to recreate the exact conditions of the early universe. But what happens if this $6 billion experiment finds absolutely nothing? We explore the origins of the cosmos, the missing piece of the Standard Model, and the strange reality of what we are actually made of.
