Hi. 3 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 2: I'm Daniel. I'm a particle physicist, and I think our 4 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 2: universe is absolutely extraordinary. I work Ancern, smashing particles together 5 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 2: to try to figure out how it all works, from 6 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,319 Speaker 2: particles to black holes, and to try to unravel some 7 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 2: of the big mysteries like dark matter and dark energy.
