Scientists at the world's largest |
| [00:02.230] |
particle accelerator have successfully collided |
| [00:04.980] |
beams of protons at the highest energy levels ever seen. |
| [00:08.140] |
There was cheering in the control room at CERN, |
| [00:10.990] |
the European nuclear research center in Switzerland |
| [00:13.680] |
as one of the biggest and most complicated |
| [00:15.820] |
scientific experiments got fully underway. |
| [00:18.520] |
The experiment is seen as a major breakthrough |
| [00:21.520] |
in efforts to understand |
| [00:22.900] |
the fundamental nature of the universe. |
| [00:24.470] |
Doctor Martin White is a research fellow at CERN. |
| [00:27.940] |
"One of the great mysteries |
| [00:29.460] |
of the universe is that most of the mass |
| [00:31.250] |
in the universe is some kind of dark matter. |
| [00:33.740] |
It's some kind of particle |
| [00:35.260] |
that doesn't match anything we've seen before. |
| [00:36.740] |
And if you look into space, |
| [00:38.060] |
you can see this |
| [00:38.970] |
because you can see its gravitational pull. |
| [00:40.300] |
So wonder thing is that we hope to get, |
| [00:42.090] |
recent and earlier, |
| [00:43.160] |
an effective scene in the next two years |
| [00:44.420] |
of some idea of what this dark matter is." |
