It’s one of the biggest unsolved mysteries of the universe and for many scientists, neutrinos may be the storytellers to resolve the matter. What happened immediately after the big bang? How did we and everything we see throughout the cosmos come to be?
Ghost Particle is a science documentary that follows international efforts to understand the universe with some of the biggest experiments ever built to study the smallest of known things: neutrinos. Neutrinos are invisible, nearly massless fundamental particles that pass through matter like ghosts and are impossible to see. They act in peculiar quantum ways and their identity-changing behaviour may hold the key to unlock clues for questions like how matter dominated anti-matter after the big bang to become us and everything we see in the universe.
Based at CERN, Ghost Particle offers an inside view to how some of the world’s best minds set out to do the seemingly impossible: design a machine to detect the virtually undetectable.
