The dark universe debate

Who will be the first to prove the existence of dark matter and dark energy? A particle physicist and an astrophysicist go head to head.

The way Joe Lykken sees it, every modern scientist has moments of jealousy when pondering the endless opportunities open to researchers of yore. How easy it must have been to come up with discoveries in the days before people knew what atoms were, or how gravity worked.

Large Hadron Collider (LHC)




The U.S. has contributed $531 million to the construction of the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest particle collider, located in Europe. From the LHC Remote Operations Center at Fermilab, U.S. scientists will participate in the startup of the machine.





More than 900 scientists from the U.S. work on the CMS experiment at the LHC. Sifting through proton-proton collisions, scientists may find signs for dark matter particles, new subatomic forces and perhaps extra dimensions of space.
