Hey, let's recreate the conditions of the universe just after the Big
Bang and see what happens!

"If some of what we expect to find does not turn up, and things we did
not foresee do, that will be even more stimulating because it means that
we understand less than we thought about nature," said British physicist
Brian Cox.

"What I would like to see is the unexpected," said Gerardus t'Hooft of
the University of Michigan. Perhaps, he suggested, the Large Hadron
Collider (LHC) machine at the heart of the experiment "will show us
things we didn't know existed."
