If you really want to understand
How the universe ticks
The LHC is what you need
We're about to go back to the beginning of time
The time when the Higgs ruled the universe
It will change our understanding of the cosmos
We want to know
Why things are the way they are
(We want to know)
How they work - what everything is
What is mass? Why does it exist?
Particles acquire mass by interacting with the Higgs field
The Higgs mechanism works by filling the universe with a field
If you gonna go for the big questions
you have to go for it
That what science at the Large Hadron Collider is all about
We can stare at the face of creation
Smash matter together
At energies never before achieved
(We can stare at the face of creation)
A beam of protons going that way
At almost the speed of light
Another beam of protons going that way
At almost the speed of light
They'll cross inside ATLAS
And recreate the conditions that were present
Just after the beginning of the universe
(Beginning of the universe)
We can stare at the face of creation
Smash matter together
At energies never before achieved
(We're about to go back to the beginning of time)
