      ooh tricky question kinetickate! It’s all interesting, we support research across all of particle physics, nuclear physics and astronomy – all different ways of trying to find out what the fundamental building blocks of nature are, and how the universe came to be how it is now. I can’t pick a favourite, it’s too hard. I think at the moment the thing most people are interested in is seeing what results are going to be produced by the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) – it would be fascinating if it discovered something nobody was expecting.
