      The Large Hadron Collider! 🙂
      http://www.lhc.ac.uk/

      It’s a massive physics experiment at an institute called CERN, in Switzerland.
      They want to recreate conditions billionths of a second after the big bang, to try to understand the tiniest components of the universe and what makes everything the way it is!
      Really fundamental, mind-blowing physics.

      If you search LHC on youtube, there are lots of explanatory videos. Hope that helps, let me know if you want some recommended!
