...what the underground megamachine might accomplish is more boggling still: it would serve as a circular iron-and-steel racetrack for beams of subatomic particles, traveling at fantastic speeds, that would be smashed together in an effort to mimic conditions at the earliest moments of the universe. It would enable physicists to probe fundamental mysteries about the origin of matter and energy and could help them achieve a long-sought goal: to weave the four known forces of nature--electromagnetism, gravity, the weak force (responsible for radioactive decay) and the strong force (which holds atomic nuclei together)--into a single...
