Back to the Big Bang

How old are you? 10, 20, 50, 90? Actually, you’re not! You’re 13.8 billion years old. Like everything in the universe, your body is made up of particles that appeared just after the Big Bang, the event at the origin of the universe! Do you feel the weight of your age now?
Join us on this extraordinary journey to the dawn of time in the “Our Universe” exhibition at the CERN Science Gateway. Let yourself be transported back to the Big Bang, the moment where it all began.

WE ALL THINK WE UNDERSTAND WHAT TIME IS.

“Albert Einstein taught us that time is intricately linked with space, as is energy with matter. They appeared at the Big Bang, the origin of our Universe. We dream of decoding the laws that govern everything, from the time of the Big Bang until now, from the infinitesimally small to the infinitely large. With the LHC, we can explore fundamental processes essential to understanding the fascinating story of our Universe. We have never adventured this far into the world of particles.”
