Guido Tonelli : The discovery of dark energy was a real surprise for everyone, including those working on it.

Tonelli says the velocity at which the universe had expanded was not constant; on the contrary, for quite some time now it had been increasing significantly.

Different teams of scientists tried to understand whether what the data was pointing to was real or errors had been made in the measurements.

Guido Tonelli is a prize-winning physicist and one of the leaders in the discovery of the Higgs boson.

He explains how elementary particles, which make up matter, combine into bizarre shapes to form correlated quantum states.

Tonelli takes readers on an exhilarating journey into the latest discoveries of contemporary science, enabling them to see the universe in a new light.
