THE PARTICLE
03.09.2011 10:00-21:00
In the beginning of life on Earth, there was a long interplay of chaos and (brief instances of) order, of stability and disintegration.

Its central elements are rings studded with multicolored LED lights. They rapidly rotate and produce so

03.09.2011 10:00-21:00
What we can see, perceive and measure is, indeed, quite a bit. Nevertheless, what we have been able to register (thus far) amounts to a mere 4.6% of the universe. The rest is darkness: dark energy and dark matter.
