Physics coordinator Alexander Philipp Kalweit and senior researcher Ivan Vorobyev explain why they're recreating the first few microseconds after the Big Bang - and how the high-energy collisions at ALICE are helping the hunt for Dark Matter in space.

Cairns and crew also managed to catch a potentially historic update from Nobel Prize-winning Chinese American physicist Samuel Ting, the leader of the AMS experiment on the International Space Station - which is hoping to provide direct evidence of the existence of Dark Matter.
