Yes, I agree with you, but I like the idea that they admit they are never going to get it completely right. As they find out more, they try to adjust their theories. And they are theories, not fact, and always say so, unlike those who insist their way is right, perfect and cannot be altered or improved on, like religion, or the political dogma of an intolerant tyrant. But I do wonder if they ever admit that it might be better to start from scratch, rather than pile more on top an already top heavy theory.

If you needed to be entertained in order to become a physicist, you likely did not have the requisite interest in the subject. That especially holds true for the idea floating around in the 90's that we needed more young people going into science, so we ought to go round to schools, performing science experiments that created loud and impressive explosions to get young people interested in science, without asking whether if that's what it took to grab the attention of students, did they really have the mindset necessary to be a scientist. (Science is rarely, if ever, exciting in the student sense.)

absolutely an excellent presentation, the people there were obviously in a different dimension, any attempt at humor was definitely lost on them. they either are pretending to already know this material or were forced to attend.

And please, please - if the lecturer refers to the slide - please, point the camera to the presentation, so that we can follow the explanations with the picture in front of us. Because normally, if the lecturer points towards the slide and talks about it, standing 90° next to it in order to directly show parts on the slide, you would look up there. And if the camera doesn't point there, then it is a bit frustrating. In the Q&A to this video there was even a part (13:11) where you could see the lecturer with the laserpointer in the hand gesturing towards the presentation - that was not shown. That's really not optimal at all. Really, even afterwards you couldn't see the slide - probably the responsible person thought that everyone should still have the slide in memory. But the lecturer extra went back to that foil to show everyone - except us - on that slide his point. Really, you should improve that, that's really destructive to the lecture as a whole.

It's called 'Obscuring the facts' which is as he keeps repeating, "They don't Know"..

go write apple, to make laser pointers that show up on camera. do expect they will steal your idea if they think they can abuse it to milk people

What a well delivered an presented presentation of a very complex topic that's normaly tedious to get your head around .. well done 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Great masterclass for science amateurs. Thank you for sharing. It amazed me the part where the electron is massless and then accretes its mass by interacting with the field... It reminds me of rocky planets orbiting the Sun and acheiving their mass while rotating around the cloud that surrounds the star.

I lived in Geneva and saw CERN when there was a visitor day. Just incredible!

As well as can be done by using words instead of number data. Good job.

the fact that we can create matter by firing two protons together is absolutely mind blowing on its own!

It's not creating anything new its just using large energy concentration machines to distort naturally resonating ripples of energy into temporal higher frequency ripples that then disperse into lower more stable frequency energy ripples that aren't as interesting...

Belabeh It’s just the reverse of e=mc^2. Instead of converting mass to energy like in an atomic bomb, we are converting energy (mostly kinetic energy) into mass.

karagi101 that's what you wish to believe, what is your knowledge of the wave particle duality of the material cosmos as we currently know it to be karagi, oh by the way are you Muslim?

Very educational, I'm amazed at the great explanation on such an extremely difficult subject to grasp. If any one could find something fundamentally new and rework the standard model, my money is on Physicist Cliff,

Great lecture for novice like me .... better understanding into the particle world ....many thanks for posting it

A hugely enjoyable and informative lecture, thank you so very much

Thanks so much for putting the links to the original NASA videos in your description!

Superb, thanks for the upload.

Excellent Speaker, an update on the Large Hadron Collider's newest discoveries since the Higgs is welcome news indeed.

That was fascinating. He went into a lot of details that I either haven't heard before or didn't quite understand before and he made them more accessible. Great lecture. Does anybody know what became of their findings? Did they update their data last year? What happened?

Fairly easy for a layperson like me to uderstand, but fantastically fascinating, absorbing, and mind blowing! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
