    Dr. Tomas Streyer started an experiment to discover how the universe began using a particle accelerator in Switzerland. When he pressed the final button, everything went black for a second before returning to normal. However, when his assistant told him to look outside, he saw that the sky had turned black as night with the sun, moon, and stars gone. People began panicking and calling their families. Twenty minutes later, the sun returned and the sky turned blue again, but that night there were no visible stars at all.

    Story written by Andrew Leon Hudson

    Dr Tomas Streyer looked around the control room at his team of scientists and
    engineers. He was excited and frightened but he tried to seem calm. In a few minutes,
    they might start to discover something amazing: how the universe began.

    He looked out of the window at the beautiful blue summer sky and tried to breathe
    slowly.

    'Ready,' he said. He pressed the first button and the complicated computers and
    machines came to life.

    'Set,' he said. He pressed the second button and switched on the large particle
    accelerator that lay under the towns and fields of Switzerland.

    'Go,' he said. And, at exactly twelve o'clock, he pressed the final button.

    For a second, he felt as if he was blind, because everything went completely black.
    Tomas shouted in shock, but the lights were already on again. That was not part of his
    plan. He had no idea what had just happened.

    'Everybody, check the systems!' he ordered. But nothing seemed to be wrong with them.
    The particle accelerator was working perfectly.

    'Tomas,' said his assistant. 'Look outside.' She sounded afraid.

    The perfect summer's day of five minutes ago had gone. Instead, the sky was darker
    than the blackest night. But that wasn't the worst thing. The sun wasn't there, and the
    moon and stars were also gone.

    People were shouting and screaming. They started calling their families on the
    telephone because they were afraid they had all gone too. Tomas felt as if it was hard to
    breathe, but he counted to ten and tried to breathe slowly. He sat at the main computer
    and started reading the information and numbers from his experiment. But he couldn’t
    find anything to explain what was happening. He ran out of the exit with the rest of his
    team until they were all outside the building.

    Everyone else in the building was outside, frightened and confused. They were using
    the screens and lights on their mobile phones to see better. Several people got in their
    cars and turned on the lights. They drove to the entrance to make a small area of light
    for everybody to stand together. The street lights turned on, but most people were still
    afraid.
    Then, almost twenty minutes after Tomas had started the particle accelerator, the sun
    was in the sky again. It was warm and yellow, and the black sky turned blue again.
    Everyone started laughing and dancing around, and Tomas felt as if he could breathe
    normally again.

    But later, hours later, when the real night began, no one was happy. Because, although
    the moon rose again, there were no stars in the sky at all.
