Dancing in the Dark - The End of Physics poster

Overview

Scientists genuinely don't know what most of our universe is made of. The atoms we're made from only make up four per cent. The rest is dark matter and dark energy (for 'dark', read 'don't know'). The Large Hadron Collider at CERN has been upgraded. When it's switched on in March 2015, its collisions will have twice the energy they did before. The hope is that scientists will discover the identity of dark matter in the debris. The stakes are high - because if dark matter fails to show itself, it might mean that physics itself needs a rethink.

00:00:19 He found that wherever he pointed his telescope
00:02:51 We have no idea what 95% of the universe is.
00:06:05 we have a sun in the middle, which provides all the gravity.
00:08:53 The dark matter could just be ordinary stuff that you can't see.
00:11:19 Drukier had hit upon a way of detecting neutrinos, real particles
00:13:58 they sunk holes into the crater so they could get the metals out.
00:16:51 And it goes inside that big recompression chamber.
00:18:56 so far proved to be the world's least productive experiment
00:21:29 So it has to be some kind of other stuff
00:24:04 While it might weigh the same, the ATLAS detector
00:26:04 to produce invisible matter that can't readily be detected
00:28:06 Suddenly there'll be something to shoot at.
00:31:13 and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Dan has his eyes
00:33:52 And I had a mathematical routine written to, you know
00:36:23 "is not only of the WIMP variety, but, furthermore, it is also cold."
00:38:57 infrastructure of our universe.
00:41:43 But it's a description of a problem, rather than of a thing
00:44:14 And the fact of the matter is that we can't calculate from first principles
00:46:49 It's not something that I could squeeze and break like a balloon.
00:49:20 and I'm really driven, as we all are driven here, to try and find it.
00:51:36 What I really want to know is - what is the universe made of?
00:53:57 It doesn't seem to have been a complete waste of time.
00:56:42 You can probably see some of the stars, and in here will be
02:00:02 a significant jump in resolution.
