Big Bang Dark Matter: History of the Universe

CERN Globe of Science and Innovation

Geneva (CH)

2010

13.7 billion ago – according to the Big Bang theory – a tiny and highly energetic point spread out at breakneck speed, created space and time and formed our universe. Ever since man appeared on the scene as a thinking creature, he has been asking himself how the universe came into being, what it is made of and what is its destiny. The mission of the approximately 3,500 employees of the CERN laboratory in Geneva is to uncover answers to these questions.
For the "Globe of Science and Innovation" project housed in the visitor centre of this major European research facility, we produced an animated film show called "History of the Universe" for the experience’s main show, in cooperation with the lead agency Atelier Brückner.

About

The show focused on the unusual dimension of, and the ongoing fascination with, the research work being done at CERN’s particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider. Five individual films were produced for the show and synchronously projected to form a holistic, visual experience in space. Visitors were offered a multitude of information and interaction possibilities, which together created a dynamic, multimedia spatial experience that made complex subjects such as the Big Bang and its consequences, exploding stars, and also the formation of our solar system comprehensible and tangible.
