0:00.0 | Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are out there in this beautiful |
0:14.2 | world, welcome to the High Wire. |

1:24.1 | but we found nothing. |
1:26.6 | So essentially what happened here, and if you remember CERN, this is the place where they |
1:30.9 | decided to like crash particles together and create little black holes and seeing if |
