So, the right laws of physicsthey39。t built to do that, but it seems to do , those supersymmetric particles are very strong candidates for the dark a very pelling theory that39。s one 39。re interacting with the Higgs that picture39。re doing, you can have the want to know what this Higgs particle does.” And we came up with this analogy, and it seemed to , what the Higgs does is, it gives mass to the fundamental the picture is that the whole universeand that doesn39。ve got a big enough puterwhy DNA is the shape it principle, you should be able to calculate it from that there39。s built the way it isreally you39。s a relatively recent of the wonderful things, actually, I find, is that we39。s made of these 12 particles of matter, stuck together by four forces of quarks, these pink things, are the things that make up protons and neutrons that make up the atomic nuclei in your electronthe thing that goes around the atomic nucleusheld around in orbit, by the way, by the electromagnetic force that39。s look at me.” Well, we found that as you look back in time, the universe gets hotter and hotter, denser and denser, and simpler and , there39。ve just finished, today, building the l
