There have been three major experimental results in fundamental physics in recent years. The first is the revelation of the Higgs boson at CERN in Geneva (figure 9.1). The second is the Planck satellite (figure 9.2) measurements, the data of which were also made public in 2013, confirming the standard cosmological model. The third is the first detection of gravitational waves announced in the first months of 2016. These are the three signals that nature has recently given us.
