The Standard Model only explains 5% of our universe
In short: Despite the landmark discovery of the Higgs Boson, our current understanding of particle physics leaves the vast majority of the universe a mystery. This video explores how the Large Hadron Collider aims to probe the missing 95% of reality.
While the Standard Model is a cornerstone of physics, it fails to account for gravity or the origin of dark matter. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to test the precise role of the Higgs Boson and search for particles that could constitute dark matter.
Led by experts like Pippa Wells, experiments such as ATLAS use the LHC to investigate high-energy physics, including the possibility of extra dimensions. By nearly doubling collision energy, scientists hope to uncover why gravity is significantly weaker than other fundamental forces.
