Recreating the first moment of the universe in a laboratory
Physicists at CERN are attempting to solve the mysteries of our cosmic origins. This video explores how scientists successfully generated extreme temperatures that have not been seen anywhere in the universe for 13.8 billion years.
By recreating the conditions present immediately following the Big Bang, researchers are investigating fundamental questions regarding how the universe began and the origins of all matter. The process involves simulating a 'cosmic soup' that has been absent from the natural universe for 13.8 billion years.
The work conducted at CERN allows scientists to study the intense heat and energy present at the very dawn of time, providing a window into the mechanics of the early universe.
