The video discusses the discovery of an exotic particle at CERN using the Large Hadron Collider. This particle, composed of two charm quarks and two charm anti-quarks, was identified by filtering out ordinary collisions. The video explores whether the particle is a weakly bonded pair or a strongly bonded tetra quark. It highlights the significance of this discovery, as particles with four heavy quarks of the same type have not been observed before.
