Evolution in the very early stages of the history of the Universe is still a puzzle, as is its accelerating expansion. The LHC is designed to operate at 7.5 TeV (ultimate value) while the proposed FCCs would offer an intensity-frontier electron-positron collider (FCC-ee), followed by an energy frontier proton collider (FCC-hh) reaching 50 TeV per beam or reaching energies of 100 TeV. The paper also outlines, complementary to FCC programmes, the non-accelerator experiment searchers to unveil the dark matter mystery and the way forward for designing and building scientific and technological solutions to implement the realisation of such a gigantic circular collider. The conceptual designs and tools to answer Big Science questions are known to be sources of innovation and FCC will follow the steps of LEP and LHC as the boundaries of accelerators and detector technologies are pushed to the limit.</dc:description><dc:publisher/><dc:date>2024</dc:date><dc:source>http://cds.cern.ch/record/2903406</dc:source><dc:doi>10.1093/oso/9780198881193.003.0006</dc:doi><dc:identifier>http://cds.cern.ch/record/2903406</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>oai:cds.cern.ch:2903406</dc:identifier></dc:dc> </collection>
