This video explores how a single equation can point to a particle no one has ever seen. Through the stories of the neutrino and the Higgs boson, it traces how theoretical physics, from Wolfgang Pauli and Enrico Fermi to Peter Higgs and others, used mathematics to predict invisible particles decades before particle accelerators and detectors could find them. We look at why these particles were proposed, what problems in physics they were meant to solve, and how their eventual discovery confirmed ideas that once seemed almost impossible to test.

Set against the backdrop of 20th- and 21st-century science, this is a short documentary-style journey through the history of particle physics, from early nuclear decay puzzles to the Large Hadron Collider. It shows how abstract equations guided experiments, shaped modern cosmology, and changed our understanding of matter, forces, and the hidden structure of the universe.
