Title: The Quantum Universe
Where do we come from? Science is making progress on this age-old question of humankind.
The universe was once much smaller than the size of an atom. Small things mattered
in the small universe, where quantum physics dominated the scene. To understand the way
the universe is today, we have to solve the remaining major puzzles. The higgs boson that
was discovered during the last year is holding our body together from evaporating
in a nanosecond. But we still do not know what it is exactly.The mysterious dark matter is
holding the galaxy together, and we would not have been born without it.But nobody
has seen it directly. And what is the very beginning of the universe?
