In the boiling kettle of the early Universe, all particles might have been like identical twins, and their masses a simple number. Today, physicists have found a formula that restores this unity, explaining the strange disparity between the mass of the electron and the top quark. And it also gives us a key to dark matter.
🎯 The predicted heavyweight neutrino is about 500 times more massive than the top quark — and the top quark itself weighs almost as much as an entire gold atom.
🎬 The film 'The Theory of Everything' is about the search for a single equation. Work on SO(10) is a real step towards Einstein's dream.
