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.

The Higgs boson that was discovered recently is holding our body together from evaporating in a nanosecond. But we still do not know what exactly it is. 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?
