It is almost time to begin the greatest experience in the world: starting the giant accelerator at CERN and its giant detector Atlas. This unique event which we have almost exclusive access will perhaps find the trace of the Higgs boson, the most wanted particule of quantum physics and the missing link in understanding the Big Bang.

We will also attend another experiment Antihydrogen. In contrast to Atlas, this little "experiment" is made by a handful of physicists handpicked. Its goal? Create and manipulate antimatter, present in great quantities at the Big Bang.

Finally and most importantly, we follow researchers and, through the anecdotes of daily life, we experience the suspense, the failures and successes of these two major events, because those are the men doing science and not vice versa...
