Horizon goes behind the scenes at CERN to follow 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.

This program is about the search for the elusive Higgs Boson a hypothetical fundamental particle proposed to be responsible for mass and gravity and the one missing peace in the theory of symmetry.
This BBC Horizon special is presented by Jim Al-Khalili O.B.E. (born 1962) who is a British theoretical physicist, author and Professor of Theoretical Physics.

Danny Wallace really wants a robot. He wants it to walk like him and talk like him. Its what scientists have been promising us for generations but its a promise so far unfulfilled. Danny circumnavigates the globe searching for robot nirvana and trying to uncover how far away his dream is.

On Dec 26, 2004, a magnitude 9.1 earthquake struck the eastern rim of the Indian Ocean. It, along with the resultant tsunami, devastated coastal areas in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, India and Sri Lanka, leaving nearly a quarter of a million people dead, and making it one of the worst human disasters in over a century. The third strongest earthquake ever recorded on a seismograph, it triggered quakes as far away as Alaska. It had the longest duration ever observed, between 8 and 10 minutes.
