Understanding the Big Bang and the Large Hadron Collider

The video explains how modern satellites detect cosmic radiation from the Big Bang, which is now in the microwave range. It highlights that static on TVs and radios is partly from the universe's creation. Physicists aim to explore the Big Bang's instant using the Large Hadron Collider, hoping to unlock secrets of space, time, matter, and energy.
