Knowing full well that there remains a critical gap in our knowledge: we still know very little about what happened in the first seconds after the Big Bang. Dan Hooper tells us how we are using the Large Hadron Collider and other experiments to re-create the conditions of the Big Bang and to address mysteries such as how our universe came to contain so much matter and so little antimatter. Could these tools enable us to discover the nature of dark matter and how it was formed in our universe's first moments? Can we lift the veil on the era of cosmic inflation, which led to the creation of our world as we know it, and the sheer advances of the science of cosmology over the last century?
