The Debate

Billions have been invested in search of the Higgs boson, or God particle. Some say we are on the cusp of uncovering the ultimate building blocks of the universe. But might this be a mirage? Can there be a final theory of matter?

 

CERN Director-General Rolf Heuer, post-postmodern thinker Hilary Lawson and writer Gwyneth Jones go in search of the ultimate particle.
