The challenge of particle physics is to discover what the universe is made of and how it works. Our quest to understand nature has produced a remarkably detailed understanding of the structure of matter, space and time, a product of decades of advances in theory and experiment. We have come now to a tremendously exciting time when experiments in the next few years promise to shed light on two fundamental mysteries: the existence of mass in our universe, and the surprising weakness of gravity compared to the other forces of nature.

粒子物理学的挑战是发现宇宙是由什么组成的，以及它是如何工作的。我们对自然的追求已经产生了对物质、空间和时间结构的非常详细的理解，这是几十年来理论和实验进步的产物。我们现在已经到了一个非常令人兴奋的时刻，未来几年的实验有望揭示两个基本的谜团：我们宇宙中质量的存在，以及与其他自然力相比引力令人惊讶的弱点。
