The Standard Model is the most successful theory ever written. It predicted particles decades before anyone saw them. It agrees with experiments to twelve decimal places. And yet, tonight, something is wrong with it.

A muon wobbles in a magnet at Fermilab. A W boson weighs more than it should. Neutrinos carry a mass the theory says they cannot have. And somewhere in the math, the universe is missing ninety-five percent of itself.

What you are about to see is the gap where a deeper theory must be hiding.
