V1: A brilliant young physicist conducts an experiment that challenges the boundaries of science.  Will his best friend's fears about the outcome be confirmed?

V2: A brilliant young physicist conducts a daring experiment against the wishes of his best friend in an attempt to unlock the secret of creation.

Of the two, I prefer one.

Not crazy about either. I'd lose the best friend element as a starter and add the "in order to" or the "must"

e,g,

In order to (insert the goal) a brilliant young scientist....

OR

When a brilliant young scientist unlocks the secret of creation, INSERT PROTAG, must (WHAT DOES HE HAVE TO DO) in order to (WHAT HAPPENS IF HE FAILS)

Hope that makes sense

Thank you for your thoughts.  It sparked a revision.  Just to note, this is actually a logline for a 10 page short.

In order to unlock the secrets of creation, a brilliant young physicist must conduct an experiment which threatens to tear it apart.

Your welcome.

I like the new one. I would just replace "it" with "world"

All right, I think this might be it.  I incorporated your revision, and tweaked it a bit more myself.  Tell me what you think:

In order to unlock the secrets of creation, a brilliant young physicist conducts an experiment which threatens to tear his world apart.
