How did matter and time actually begin?
In short: The Big Bang remains our most profound mystery, yet it is notoriously difficult to measure. This video explores how two massive scientific endeavors—one on Earth and one in space—are working together to decode the origins of the universe.
To understand how matter and time came into being, scientists are looking at two distinct but complementary projects. On Earth, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN investigates the fundamental building blocks of reality. In space, the European Space Agency's Planck mission provides a cosmic perspective on the universe's earliest moments.
By combining insights from these projects with expertise from institutions like the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris and Sorbonne University, researchers aim to bridge the gap between particle physics and cosmology to explain the very beginning of everything.
