The particle smasher LHC at Cern will start work in year, or so, and Jim Holt looks for the NY Times (14.1.2007) into what's a possible outcome of the research. The Higgs particle that may give matter mass, another particle, one more particle. Well, you cannot predict the unknown, especially in particle physics. The article has a wonderful slideshow of photographs that corresponds well with the subject: physicists try to unravel symmetries in the early universe and Simon Norfolk takes pictures of the very symmetric equipment and detectors at Cern.
