Horizon goes behind the scenes at CERN to follow of one of the most epic and 
expensive scientific quests of all time: the search for the Higgs particle, 
believed to give mass to everything in our universe.

However, the hunt for Higgs is part of a much grander search for how the 
universe works. It promises to help answer questions like why we exist and is a 
vital part of a Grand Unified Theory of nature. At the heart of the pursuit of 
the elusive particle is the same feature that makes snowflakes beautiful and 
human faces attractive: the simple and enchanting idea of symmetry.
