Imagine being able to watch as Edison turned on the first light bulb, or as Franklin received his first jolt of electricity? 'Particle Fever' gives audiences a front row seat to our generation’s most significant and inspiring scientific breakthrough as it happened. The film follows six brilliant scientists during the launch of the Large Hadron Collider, marking the start-up of the biggest and most expensive experiment in the history of the planet. 10,000 scientists from over 100 countries joined forces to recreate the conditions in the immediate moments following the Big Bang and to find the Higgs boson, potentially explaining the origin of all matter. But our heroes confront an even bigger challenge: have we reached our limit in coming to understand why we exist? 'Particle Fever' is a celebration of discovery, revealing the very human stories behind the tale of this epic experiment.
'PARTICLE FEVER' STORIES
This is precisely what every great science documentary should be, accessible to the masses without losing what makes the science so fascinating and complex.
The real idea behind this film is the human thirst for knowledge – the things that are least important for our survival are the things that make us human.
