A 17-mi ring buried 570 ft deep [music] under the French-Swiss border. Within vacuum pipes, protons accelerate to 99.9999991% [music] the speed of light. They collide a billion times every second, >> [music] >> creating temperatures 100,000 times hotter than the sun's core. This is how you explore [music] fundamental physics.

[00:00:28]You wouldn't know why particles have mass otherwise.

[00:00:31]>> [music] >> It revealed the Higgs boson, the god particle, foundational to understanding matter.

[00:00:36]>> [music] >> To make it work, parts of the LHC are cooled to 456° [music] F. Coldest place in the universe, still searching.
