You know, in physics we believe that everything
around us can be made comprehensible.

It's a job that can easily set you apart
from other people.

There is no restriction on thought.

I think I have a quite pictorial view of
physics.

For me, particles are colourful.

For me an electron is red.

I don't know why.

Don't ask me why.

An electron is red.

A photon of course is yellow because of
light.

A proton is brown.

My perception on reality, you know,
I go deep inside, so I eat my spaghetti

and I think of the quarks that are inside
the spaghetti.

It's true.

You will say I'm crazy.

I am a physicist, but I love music and
I've been studying music.

Music and physics are part of the same
thing, you know, human curiosity,

human creativity, the wish
of exploring or understanding

how things work at the
most fundamental level.

And what really touches
me in science, like in

music, is this complexity
built upon simplicity.

In music you have very complex and rich
symphonies, think about Beethoven,

Mahler, but actually they are built upon
the combination of seven notes and

likewise nature is beautiful and
extremely complex, but actually

the most fundamental level
is made of just three particles.

I

always wanted to understand what are we
made out of.

I need to know how are things connected,
how does one depend on the other.

It is the most powerful, most
complex machine ever built

by mankind to try to understand
why we can exist at all.

When

I was young I wanted to understand the
logic of nature,

the fundamental laws which allows us to
exist.

We need these laws for our existence.

The trouble is that these laws can be used
for peace and for war.

Now I am the coming death, the
destruction.

Dr. Oppenheimer, you and many like you who
brought the bomb into being still seem to

suffer, may I say, from a bad conscience
about it.

Is that true sir?

I do think it has left a mark on many of
those who were responsibly engaged.

This is not the natural business of a
scientist.

After the first few minutes of elation,
I realized what had happened to the world.

The big thing I felt was to eliminate
this.

We have to explain to the governments that
what we want to do is never to be

associated with the use of these laws for
war.

Today CERN is a truly global
laboratory with a community of

more than 17,000 people
across more than 110 nationalities.

An incredible melting pot of languages,
cultures, traditions.

But in a world where conflicts between
countries, religions and cultures sadly

persist, this is a truly precious gift
which cannot be taken for granted.

We now have autocrats
ruling the largest nations

on earth in ways we
thought belonged to history.

Russia launched a full scale invasion of
Ukraine by land, air and... CERN has

announced that it will
end cooperation with up

to 500 scientists from
Russian institutions.

The last world war had
been so terrible, I thought it

would be unimaginable that
a new war would start again.

Humanity should have learned a lesson.

Here at CERN, several thousand scientists
coming from different social, political

systems, having different religions,
having completely different mentalities,

work together very peacefully and,
I might say so, also very successfully.

How many years ago was it that you stepped
down as director-general?

It's a long time ago, 1990.

And you're still coming in?

When I became 100 years old, some people
asked me, what do you do to become so old?

I said, there are two things.

Always stay active and always be curious.

The CERN Council
decided that we have to stop

almost all collaborations
with Russia now.

It's a pity.

I think it was more or less
the first time that in the 70 years

of CERN that politics determined
essentially a council decision.

So this week there was Council Week at
CERN.

So it means the
representative of our member

states got together for
decisions and discussions.

The contracts with Belarus and with Russia
already have been suspended.

However, there's still this laboratory in
Russia, which is a bit similar to what we

have at CERN, and the collaboration with
them dates back to 1967.

So it's a really long-standing partner.

Here at CERN we have
Israelis working together

with Palestinians,
Indians with Pakistanis.

So science and fundamental science gives
you a kind of basis where people,

independent of their religion,
independent of their political system

where they grew up in, can collaborate and
can communicate.

And I think that's something important to
keep.

That was what CERN is for, science for
peace.

I remember when I first came
to CERN I was here visiting

because I was thinking about
moving here and I wasn't sure.

One of my mentors at the university
arranged to see the Atlas detector and it

was the best thing anyone ever did for me
because when you see it, it was like,

it was love.

You

know, it's just this beautiful detector
with the precision of it, the size of it,

the amount of human
effort and passion that

went into building
every single little part.

I just wanted to be a part of that.

I got to build this, help build this.

There are, you know, thousands of people
involved in this construction and I really

got to help with those teams putting it
all together.

There was a common goal that we all had.

So it gave a special spirit to the whole
thing.

There was this chance to unlock something
very deep about nature itself.

2008, it was really the
first time we switched

on our camera Atlas
and took the first data.

But the room was crowded at that time, so
everybody who contributed was in that room.

The preparation of this experiment took
decades.

We now believe that all the matter that we
now see in the universe was made during

the first fraction of a
fraction of a fraction

of a second of the
age of the universe.

In fact, it's something like 10 to the
minus 35 seconds.

That means a one with 34 zeros before it.

Extremely small time.

There's zero particles and all the other
elementary particles have masses.

They weigh something.

Why is that?

We believe that comes about from a
particle called the Higgs boson.

Peter Higgs proposed the existence of the
Higgs boson in 1964.

I would compare it to a Roman arch.

So you've got this beautiful semicircular
arch and at the top there is a capstone.

And if that capstone were not there,
the arch would collapse.

With my colleagues, we basically sat down
and said, OK, we don't know what the mass

of the Higgs boson might be, but for
different masses we could figure out the

way in which it would show up in an
experiment.

Some experiments of that type were being
done as so.

But we really thought it
was going to be heavier and

could only be found at a
higher energy accelerator.

The protons are in the machine.

We are ready at this end.

We are now in the countdown.

So what happens in the sort of experiments
that are done here, well actually sort of

underground in some sense,
what's being done down there is

a sort of recreation of the
first seconds of the Big Bang.

You are about 100 metres underground at
the absolute best experiment on Earth.

The LHC pipe runs through the centre and
protons come in from either direction.

If we are lucky and if they hit really
like a big strong head-on collision,

we can create all
sorts of cool stuff,

potentially something we
have never seen before.

It's very nice here in the control room
because you can see in real time all these

collisions and the particles, the shower
coming out of it and sometimes it's really

overwhelming and actually it's also
bothering me thinking about all the things

that they will discover in the future and
that maybe I will never know.

Everybody is trying to write his history
in a way.

It's our ambition.

The man of the caverns was writing
pictures of cows on the walls, right?

So that 3,000 years
later you walk in there,

he says, my God, there's
a human being there.

We are not painting ghosts on walls or
caves.

We are trying to do much more
sophisticated things.

When it's all done and
over, what do you think

20th century civilization
have left behind?

My own opinion is that we
care and we respect us and we

respect us on the basis of
the understanding we have.

When I arrived here at CERN, I was this
student, very much lacking in confidence,

looking around at what's happening here,
and I did not feel that I fit in here.

I felt like an imposter.

It was like another
planet, first of all, because

there were literally no
Indians here at CERN.

It was incredible.

I can tell you that even the smell of
coffee was alien to me.

Coming from India, a woman working in the
laboratory, you know, with Europeans and

with Americans and all that, it was not
easy.

The confidence is today,
the smiles are today, but

I have had endless
sleepless nights, years on end.

This human endeavor is mind-boggling.

When you were presented
with the plans for the LHC,

the engineering challenge
is absolutely enormous.

Well, I wasn't presented with the plans,
I made the plans.

I came to CERN in 69.

Anti-product now.

What is it, 55 years now?

Practically.

55 of the 70.

But this is home now, after all this time.

I took over the project
in 93, prepared for

approval, took until the
end of 1994 to get approved.

The project could provide answers to the
nature of the universe.

The machine, called the
Large Hadron Collider, will aim

to recreate the conditions
at the time of the Big Bang.

The tunnel was there already, we took it
over from the previous machine.

There is a pit where the big magnets can
be lowered into the tunnel, onto a

transport vehicle, and then that gives us
access to the LHC ring.

This is really the biggest and most
complex scientific project ever undertaken.

The whole 27-kilometer
circumference is

aligned to better than
a tenth of a millimeter.

Very, very, very tiny movements will
affect our data.

The moon, for example, also affects the
LHC.

It's the kind of breathing that goes on,
like the tides, you know.

And we need to track everything.

Think of gravity, that every time there is
a movement of a piece of matter around the

Earth, that actually translates into a
very, very, very tiny movement,

which can be reflected in
the measurements at the

scale at which we do the
measurements, you know.

We are looking for
a particle that has a

lifetime of ten to the
minus twenty-two seconds.

And within that, if there is a movement,
you're lost.

So the idea behind the collision is you're
just getting a huge amount of energy into,

you know, a single spot, and then you can
produce something very massive.

And so by studying these collisions,
we understand this very microscopic world,

and then that helps us understand how we
evolved from a microscopic world to the

macroscopic to galaxies, superclusters of
galaxies.

It's all intertwined.

We can't understand that without
understanding this.

Hello.

Welcome.

Hello.

Well, it's nice to welcome you here in my
home.

Please come in.

Thank you very much.

Do you still play the piano?

Yes, a little bit, yes, a little bit.

I like music besides physics very much.

I am a very old man now.

I have the advantage
that I've seen now

practically hundred
years of European history.

During the last war, I was a soldier.

I was fighting against Russia and the
British.

In fact, I was, by chance, also a Dresden
when it was bombed.

So I've seen it.

Fortunately, I survived.

So I know what real war means, where
10,000 people were killed in one night.

All that, of course, is nightmare.

When war was ended, I was taken prisoner
by British troops near Hamburg.

At that time, I imagine there was
practically no radio.

There were just a few local newspapers.

There was no television nothing.

So I learned about the bombs rather late,
more or less by chance.

It is an atomic bomb.

It is a harnessing of the basic power of
the universe.

I knew many of the people who were
involved in the development of these bombs.

In Germany, it was Heisenberg.

And it was never quite clear whether the
nuclear chain reaction would work.

I knew Heisenberg quite well.

He was surprised that the
bomb had worked because he had

calculated the detailed
cross-section and he made a mistake.

It was incredible because Heisenberg said,
Look, it can't have worked.

And I told him yes, but it worked.

So he sat down and found out, yes,
he had made a mistake.

A short time ago, an American
airplane dropped one bomb

on Hiroshima and destroyed
its usefulness to the enemy.

That bomb has more power than 20,000 tons
of TNT.

The force from which the
sun draws its power has been

loosed against those who
brought war to the Far East.

We have spent more
than 2 billion dollars on

the greatest scientific
gamble in history.

And we have won.

What has been done is the greatest
achievement of organized science in history.

I think when you play a meaningful part in
bringing about the death of over 100,000

people and the injury
of a comparable number,

you naturally don't
think of that as with ease.

We had known the sin of pride.

We had turned to effect in what was to
come.

It proved to be a major way, the course of
man's history.

The European Union, for
nuclear physics, has fixed

the size of 100
international research atoms.

The delegates brought
their lives on Geneva,

to the great satisfaction
of the president.

It is an idea which is, to some extent,
unimaginable today.

Shortly after the Second World War,
a handful of visionary scientists and a

handful of visionary diplomats getting
together from all continents and saying,

okay, we have to do something to get
Europe out of the ruins.

It took only a few years to create CERN.

This is amazing.

I cannot imagine something like this
today.

The Council of CERN is made up of
delegates from the 13 member states.

The purpose of the European Organization
for Nuclear Research is to further

collaboration in scientific research of a
purely fundamental nature.

A few years ago, the Council of CERN was
celebrated by Mr. Dumont.

And here, in Denmark, in 1972,
Robert Oppenheimer, creator of the Bomba,

Heisenberg, almighty, in 1972.

Looking at these people together,
Oppenheimer, Heisenberg, who worked

beforehand on different sites within the
war, but they ignored the political

difference and they were just
concentrating on science.

An atomic war would end this civilization
and would end any science and so on.

Mankind has to learn to
control itself because it now

has, within its power, to
destroy itself very cheaply.

We brought the people
together, we wrote a convention

which clearly states
peaceful application only.

The organization should provide for
collaboration among European states in

nuclear research of a pure scientific and
fundamental character.

When we work, we don't think of making
military applications.

The responsibility of
the scientists is that

the new technologies
are used in the proper way.

Every technology can be used for the good
of humanity or against humanity.

A typewriter can be used for war or can be
used for peaceful poetry.

I grew up in an industrial part of the
United States in western Pennsylvania

where everybody's grandfather and father
worked in the steel mills.

And they told us when we
were kids that if we didn't

study hard, we'd end up
in the factory like they were.

And I totally failed, you can see.

We have Metallica, Muse, Roger Waters,
Jack White, Pixies.

The bar is pretty high.

It's not just for any rock stars.

There'll be more, I hope.

The science fiction question
is do we have enough

antimatter to be dangerous
or to power a starship?

And the answer is even
though this is the best and only

machine to create this
anti-hydrogen atom, we kind of suck.

It's never going to be a danger to
anybody.

It would take longer than
the age of the universe

to accumulate just
one gram of antimatter.

But that one gram of antimatter could put
a space shuttle into orbit.

That's a cataclysmic amount of antimatter
to lose all at once.

We simply... I wouldn't want to be
anywhere near that, let's put it that way.

So in the early 90s I found an extremely
exciting atmosphere.

Those were the years we were developing
the Large Hadron Collider.

ATLAS is the biggest experiment ever built
in particle physics.

We are all pushed by the
same spirit and by the same

awareness of being very
close to discover something big.

In addition to the fundamental science,
which might have interesting applications,

there are the technologies which you develop
in order to make the research possible.

And the World Wide Web is one example of
that.

This is a technology which
was developed in order for

scientists to be able to
collaborate around the world.

And of course it's completely
revolutionized the way that humans interact.

So what's the Web?

It used to be difficult to explain what
the Web would be like.

Now it's difficult to explain why it was
difficult.

But back in the 1980s at CERN it was an
exciting place to be.

Lots and lots of information
systems on different

computers, on different
networks, all incompatible.

So the idea was that one should be able to
communicate by sharing information.

How many of you have actually never
experienced the World Wide Web?

I see one hand.

Two, three, four, five, six, seven.

No, come on.

What was it that made the Web click as the
universal hypertext on a computer network?

It is the URL.

And that is Tim's fundamental
contribution.

We sat under the big tree in the CERN
cafeteria one evening with a beer.

And then I said, we need a catchy title
for it.

And suddenly Tim said, what about World
Wide Web?

I said, yeah, that's great.

It's a bit long.

I like its name, World Wide Web, which
was unpronounceable to French people.

That's why most French people didn't like.

I don't think we've even seen the tip of
the iceberg.

I think the potential of
what the Internet is going

to do to society, both good
and bad, is unimaginable.

I think we're actually on the cusp of
something exhilarating and terrifying.

It's just a tool, though, isn't it?

No, it's not.

No.

No, it's an alien life form.

What do you think of the It's their life
on Mars.

Yes, it's just landed here.

You never spend your nights with me.

You don't go out with other girls either.

You only love your collider.

Tim Berners-Lee and our group of friends
were part of a theatre group.

We used web pages for the clubs and for
work.

And I did think it was a brilliant thing.

When this Cernet picture, all published,
ended up being the first picture of a

band, of an artist, of something social on
the web which was not mere physics.

You only love your collider.

I think that we realised
fairly early on that the

World Wide Web was not
something that it could manage.

The most ambitious attempt ever to
recreate conditions at the beginning of

the Universe is launched this morning in
Switzerland.

Catastrophic claims Professor Otto Rosler,
who went to court to stop the experiment,

warning the Earth could be eaten inside
out.

How many months or
years it takes to eat the

whole Earth cannot be
predicted at the moment.

This might be my last broadcast, because
tomorrow may be the end of the Earth.

You get these things moving around at the
speed of lightning.

Bam!

That story was very beneficial for us
because it attracted a lot of interest and

attention by the public, the media which
was not there before.

Normally we would not publish a switch on
day.

We never did that before.

We were forced into it effectively.

So we had to pick a day and then go flat
out to make it.

We're actually inside the
control room for what is

genuinely the biggest experiment
ever undertaken by mankind.

Nobody was more surprised than me when I
came in at 6 o'clock in the morning and

saw these huge satellite
dishes and big lorries

full of mobile studios
and God knows what.

They were under enormous pressure.

We would normally not accept that.

Don't forget that it made Google.

The Google logo was the LHC that day.

I didn't really know how much of it in the
spotlight I was.

I was doing a running commentary of what
we were doing from step to step.

Let's get started everybody.

Now comes the day of reckoning.

Little did I know that my wife was
watching it at home.

There are innumerable things that could go
wrong.

This has never been done before.

I did not sleep that night before because I
kept thinking I had this list in my brain.

Did we check that?

Did we check this?

What about the voltage?

Everything that could have gone wrong I
was sure it was going to go wrong.

Everybody is staring at
a series of screens above

us and the tension you
could cut with a laser beam.

OK, the next cycle we will inject the beam
into the LHC.

Now we go into new territory.

OK, let's go.

Five, four, three, two, one, zero.

Nothing.

Wave!

Physics has that kind of garage feel to
it.

It is not production.

It involves a lot of tweaks.

It involves a lot of hacking.

We are hackers in the end.

We fix things, they don't work.

We tweak them, we don't work.

Fundamental research is a lot of getting
it wrong until you get it right.

But fortunately we got it right on the
first try.

Never happens.

That was a day, really.

A big emotion.

When you see the thing on which we have
been working for years together with

thousands of colleagues from all over the
world become real.

And they said, wow, here we are.

We manage.

We did it.

It may have looked easy to you but I can
assure you it was only made to look easy

because of the quality of the equipment,
the quality of the software, and above

all, the quality of the
people who have built

this machine and will
operate it in the future.

I got a call, so I went
straight over to the

control room and all
the screens were red.

Red is a bad color.

What we thought it was at
the time was that they had lost

the helium and that it would
take us two months to recover.

I mean, at that point we were
just like days from data and

ah, we've got to lose two more
months because of the helium.

I think it only settled later that we were
talking about a year.

It took a long time to recover emotionally
from it.

It

took about 50 magnets in one sector that
we had to replace.

Fortunately, we had all the spares.

It was just picking
ourselves up, rolling up our

sleeves yet again and
getting on with the job.

Clearly I was frustrated but that was 24
years ago.

24 years after first thinking about the
physics that you could do with the LHC.

So if it was going to take another year or
two, no, that's OK.

So I am Palestinian from Hebron,
West Bank.

Part of this job is international.

We work physics and for
physics and we have to collaborate

with all people regardless
of their background.

I don't care what you believe.

Our goal is to understand
the building blocks of

matter, the fundamental
interactions in nature.

I am a Muslim and I
believe the God Almighty and

I believe there is a
beginning of the universe.

And my goal is not to contradict the God
but to discover the laws of God,

the laws that govern nature.

So my belief, my physics works are side by
side.

There is no contradiction.

Is my belief consistent with my research?

Up to now, yes.

There is no contradiction.

There are so many unanswered questions.

If we really do want to understand why the
universe is the way it is, we need to

understand what the pieces are that make
it up and how those pieces fit together.

The pieces that we know about,
is that all of them?

Or are there more pieces?

When they were building a part of this,
they needed some really, really high

purity brass which was expensive and
difficult to get hold of.

But some of the Russian colleagues
realized that they had loads of World War

II shell casings made out of exactly the
right quality brass necessary.

And so over a million World
War II shell casings were collected,

melted down and turned into
our calorimeter right in here.

CERN was one of the holes in the Iron
Curtain during the Cold War.

Because all the people
from the other side of the

Iron Curtain could come
to sell and vice versa.

CERN is the only organization which had in
its foundation the double role to promote

science and improve the relations between
countries.

The moment is at hand.

President Reagan now is at a lakeside
mansion about eight miles north of Geneva.

And it is there that the
President will meet this

morning with Mikhail
Gorbachev of the Soviet Union.

The first meeting between the leaders of
the two most powerful forces in the

history of civilization in more than six
years now.

When I was Director General
of CERN, I got a call from the

head of the American delegation
to prepare the discussion.

We said, look, we need a place which is
respected by both sides, where we can

freely and informally discuss the
problems.

So I invited a small
group, both from the

Russians and the
Americans, to dinner at CERN.

And after they first dosed, I left them
alone and said goodbye.

I called for a fresh start and we made
that start.

I can't claim that we had
a meeting of the minds on

such fundamentals as
ideology or national purpose.

But we understand each other better,
and that's a key to peace.

I think if, in the end, Gorbachev could
sign the first disarmament agreement,

it was, I believe, with the help of the
physicists.

The Large Hadron
Collider is a machine for the

world because it's the
only machine of that type.

It brings the world
forward, and it can only

work because the
whole world is involved.

It could not immediately start with the
highest possible energy for which the LHC

was designed, so we decided to go up very
slowly.

But we reached the highest energy ever
with an accelerator on Earth.

It's a bit like an
explorer, because I see

something which nobody
else had seen before.

It's brilliant.

40 million pictures per second of these
collisions, roughly 150 million channels,

and it's a three-dimensional picture.

Of course, then we were in a rush to find
the Higgs particle.

I mean, that was what we wanted to see.

What's left to fill the
gap between theory and

experiment, that's the
Higgs boson contribution.

For particle physicists
discovering the Higgs

boson, this would be
like landing on the moon.

It's not just a particle.

It's not just a thing that gets produced.

It is a clue to one of the
most fundamental concepts

of our lives and worlds,
which is, how do we get mass?

It was sort of bam, bam, bam.

We were working along, we were doing
everything, calibrating the detector,

and then suddenly there was something
there.

I mean, we thought, okay, God,
is this the Higgs?

You know, could this be it?

You know, of course, there was this excitement
that we knew, but it happened so fast.

You check and recheck, and then you see
suddenly this peak or this number of

pictures indicating something interesting
growing.

People were working days and nights,
looking at the data.

There was something special going on.

We decided, okay, we will have a seminar.

But we didn't know yet.

Is it a discovery or is it close to a
discovery?

Today we hear two presentations from the
two experiments, ATLAS and CMS,

on their update on a search for a certain
particle.

We have a magic limit in particle physics.

When we cross this threshold of evidence,
then we can call it a discovery.

We needed to cross this
threshold in both experiments

because the cross-check
is absolutely vital.

There were many, many
people who had made the

history of CERN,
previous director-general.

Peter Higgs was there, Francois Anglaire.

The day of the announcement was really
kind of, not only was the world learning

about it, but also half the community was
learning about the other half.

So this distribution
is extremely clean,

except one big spike
here in this region here.

So, zooming in this region.

We have observed a new particle consistent
with Higgs's proposal.

As a layman I would now say...

I think we have it.

Do you agree?

Maybe one more round of
applause to all the guys who

supported the whole project
for more than 25 years here.

All the way.

Just take a step back and look at what we
achieved.

It was huge.

The elementary particles wouldn't have a
mass.

They would fly through the universe with
the speed of light.

No chance to form composite matter.

No chance to form us.

No chance to form the Earth.

And now we found the explanation.

We found it.

It's a great moment.

I

have to say I was pretty emotional.

I'm not quite sure whether I had tears in
my eyes.

Peter Higgs certainly did.

So this was 48 years after they had
proposed their theory.

Well, I would like to
add my congratulations to

everybody involved in this
tremendous achievement.

For me, it's really an incredible thing
that has happened in my lifetime.

Just at the moment where you say,
OK, that was worth all my work,

this moment, this day, and basically you
then stop working.

After that seminar, we just celebrated.

It was a day full of champagne and beer.

Perfect.

I think the one good thing that I had
going for me when I started this was that

I was naive and never realised the mountain
that we had to climb to actually succeed.

You look at the experimental teams that
discovered the Higgs boson.

They include Russians and Americans.

They include Chinese and Europeans.

They include Indians and Pakistanis.

They include Israelis and Palestinians.

This is an endeavour which, I think,
really unifies the human race.

The situation is complex today.

The war in Ukraine does have an impact.

Last year, the CERN
Council decided to terminate

the collaboration with
some Russian institutes.

So there is one institute based in Russia
that we're still working with.

Now the CERN Council must decide whether
it wants to keep that long-standing

collaboration going or whether it wants to
cut all ties.

Sanctioning Russia and Belarus, yeah,
that contradicts the CERN Foundation.

So CERN was established after the Second
World War in the ash of Europe in 1954.

And in the 1950s, 60s, 70s, at the height
of the Cold War, World War, Americans,

Germans, West Europe, Russians,
Soviets worked together, so what changed?

Why don't you keep that?

You cannot generalise to all the people.

You cannot generalise
to all Russian or Ukrainian,

the decision of a few people
in the government, maybe.

I know these people, they are against war.

And they are paying for something that is
not their fault.

So I'm really curious now to see whether
Fabiola somehow has said something.

There is something.

I'll wait.

An important item on the CERN Council.

Has the Council decided not to terminate
the agreement?

That's good.

I'm very happy to read that CERN remains
in its tradition.

Very good.

If the Council had not taken that decision
and decided to terminate the agreement,

that would have been the end of any
relation with the Russian Federation.

This is really the nerve centre.

This is where everything happens.

How can we make sure that we continue
being the number one lab?

So it's projecting CERN in decades away
from today.

This is why we're doing this feasibility
study.

You know, should we have a super,
super-duper large accelerator,

it's going to be three times the size of
the current LHC.

What is dark matter?

That's the question I'm looking for.

We know it's there and it must be there in
an enormous amount, about four times more

of this than the visible mass of the
universe.

We're in the control room of my experiment
on the space station.

The highest energy particle comes from the
cosmos.

To know the origin of Hubble, you have to
go above the Earth's atmosphere.

Thank you very much for the great ride and
safe delivery of AMS to the station.

Your support and fantastic
work has taken us one step

closer to realizing the
science potential of AMS.

We have some very, very important results
that correspond to dark matter conditions.

So we have learned
from this experiment,

cosmic rays behave in a
way nobody dreamed of.

That's why it's so interesting.

It's the mystery of life and we have to
accept that there are things that are much

bigger, much more complex than our brain
and our imagination can capture.

We are made of sub-nuclear universe.

We are pieces of the sub-nuclear universe.

Believe it or not, it's the real origin of
existence.

Do

you sometimes want to wake up to the
singularity we once were?

For every atom belonging to me as good
belongs to you.

When Earth was sky and
animal was energy and rock

was liquid and stars were
space and space was not.

Only a tiny dot brimming with is,
is, is.

Everything.

Home.
