Through the Wormhole - What Are We Really Made Of?

Episode 7


Our understanding of the universe and the nature of reality itself has drastically changed over the last 100 years, and it’s on the verge of another seismic shift. In a 17-mile-long tunnel buried 570 feet beneath the Franco-Swiss border, the world’s largest and most powerful atom smasher, the Large Hadron Collider, is powering up.

Its goal is nothing less than recreating the first instants of creation, when the universe was unimaginably hot and long-extinct forms of matter sizzled and cooled into stars, planets, and ultimately, us. These incredibly small and exotic particles hold the keys to the greatest mysteries of the universe. What we find could validate our long-held theories about how the world works and what we are made of. Or, all of our notions about the essence of what is real will fall apart.

Hosted by Morgan Freeman, Through the Wormhole explores the deepest mysteries of existence — the questions that have puzzled mankind for eternity. What are we made of? What was there before the beginning? Are we really alone? These questions have been pondered by the most brilliant minds in history.

Now, modern science may be able to provide us with answers.

NAj, I hope you find this comment and smile. I've seen you on my blogruns everyday, and you always have constructive feedback and great posts. But I've never been to your blog... I am here to say that I am deeply sorry for that. Your blog is something I should have followed long ago. I am throbbing hard for quantum physics and theoretical sciences. Just straight up gay for it.

Your content just made my late night runs less monotonous, and inspired me to stay up another 4 hours after this post to watch through the wormhole again. Love the content, love your personable writing style, love the blog in general. Hope to hear from you soon.

Another avid follower in the bag,
-JKane

as a reply to your comment, yeah, the trains are that crowded during rush hour. The only way to get a seat is by going all the way to the pack, and sometimes front of the train. The last few cars will usually have seats.

It really blows.
And blogger really needs a threaded comment system.
