Quarks, collisions, and the ultimate fate of the universe

Deep inside every atom lies a hidden world of quarks—tiny fundamental particles that help shape everything we see. At CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, physicists use the ATLAS experiment to probe these building blocks under extreme conditions, searching for answers to some of the biggest questions in science.

At the centre of this quest is the top quark: the heaviest known fundamental particle, and one that may determine the fate of the universe itself. Could it reveal whether we live in a stable cosmos—or are balanced on the edge of a deeper, more dangerous reality? Physicist Kate Shaw leads us on a voyage of discovery to find out how leading-edge experiments are bringing us closer to the answer.
