Exploring the unknown

95% of our universe is made up of unknown matter and energy.
It’s like being in a room and only seeing 5% of the objects it contains. We know very little about what’s around us and many questions remain unanswered. At CERN Science Gateway discover the great mysteries of the universe that challenge physicists around the world. Perhaps you’ll help unravel them one day, who knows?

TRYING TO UNDERSTAND SOMETHING THAT WE CAN’T DETECT.

“Trying to understand something that we can’t detect is a daunting task. With our theories, we suggest explanations that are then tested by experiments.
Our ideas might or might not be proved right by what we discover. That’s the research process and it’s a privilege to be a part of it.”
