What would happen if the ancient Greeks were right and the universe truly originated from chaos and the void? How can we know this? And what were its first moments like?

To answer these questions, scientists explore all the hidden corners of creation. With giant telescopes and powerful particle accelerators, they examine the subtle mechanisms by which our known world came into existence, while simultaneously attempting to predict the ways in which it will end.

The result of all this collective effort is a complex story, sometimes stranger even than the ancient creation myths.

In «Genesis», CERN physicist and bestselling author Guido Tonelli poetically captures this great story, the achievement of countless minds working together through the ages.
