Deep beneath the Earth’s surface, scientists from around the world have secretly teamed up to build what many are calling a “monster lab.” But don’t worry — it’s not for creating creatures.

And could these underground experiments rewrite what we know about reality itself? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
