00:00Why scientists wasted 10 billion dollars to build this machine?
00:03The Large Hadron Collider is the most powerful physics experiment in history.
00:07It's a 17-mile underground ring where protons race at 99.999999% the speed of light,
00:14then collide with so much energy it recreates the first fraction of a second after the Big Bang.
00:18In those collisions, we found particles that explain why anything in the universe has mass at all.
00:23Without them, you wouldn't exist.
00:25And they're still running it today chasing answers about dark matter, gravity, and the fate of the universe.
