| [00:00.000] | 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." |
