CERN: Particle Smashing at Near the Speed of Light with Dr. James Beacham
Ғылым және технология
What is the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe? Can dark matter be created? Delve into the dark secrets that surround us, questioning the very essence of mass and uncovering the role of the Higgs field. And how to generate dark matter, as observed in experiments at CERN. A conversation with Dr. James Beacham, an expert and working scientist at CERN, seeking answers to the universe's deepest mysteries.

As someone who knows next to nothing about particle physics, I really enjoyed his indepth answer to the question “What’s the importance of the higgs boson discovery pointing us to the higgs field?”. I’d not heard of the higgs field, but the history of when it was first theorized, (and the funny almost apologetic message from the theoretical scientists to their experimental counterparts) helped provide context to why this was such a pivotal moment in science. I wish every scientist was this thoughtful in their answer. Very exicted for the next episode.
Every time Anna does her intro my cat runs to the tv and gets close to the screen. Once JMG starts talking he walks away. Another scientific mystery.

Wow! This interview was excellent.
Some people just can't help getting political when all we want to talk about is science
It’s almost like he’s having an inner dialogue out loud to us if that makes sense. He asks himself the question out loud in his head, to us the listener, then works through the question verbally, then attempts to resolve it, and opens up another question in that resolution indefinitely. Most of scientists, when explaining things tend to do the antithesis of this. I’m not saying I didn’t enjoy this at all. In fact, I did. I’m just commenting on the style the way this gentleman speaks. I’m an amateur myself, but in all honesty, I feel like I have, and could explain dark Matter/Higgs, etc Plus he got the age of the universe incorrect right off the bat
James does an amazing lecture on black holes. Great guest!
If you hung up on this guy, I wonder how long he would keep on talking by himself before he noticed...
At 2:30 “the very brief version…”. followed by sixteen breathless minutes of an entire synopsis of 20th century physics.
Dr. Beecham speaks how my brain works. I love all his tangents that explained question I had as he was talking. You can tell he’s very knowledgeable and passionate which explains why he had so much to share about the topic. Can’t wait for part 2!

@9:48 Oh, so THAT"S what a scalar field is. Wild. It sounds like neo-aether. Could dark matter be purely Higgs-interactive particles? What levels of energy would we need to make it and could we even detect it if we did?

An exellent interview. What I would like to understand is he says they accelerate the protons to almost the speed of light. He talks about an upgraded collider with more energy. What do they do with more energy because the protons are already travelling at almost the speed of light so it cannot go faster.,

It would be incredible conversation to see this guy and Billy Carson talk with each other. He's got a lot of theories about what they "really"so there are CERN. If anyone is interested it's on the Shawn Ryan show. It's all very fascinating.
1.6x 10^22. As above as below. Are we still contemplating larger faster collisions with bigger colliders and are singularity models possible as the result higher concentration of more energy past that threshold?
Too bad we don't have our own CERN in Texas. smh

I often wonder what sort of technology and consumer items will emerge from the insights gained by this sort of research. I doubt if the likes of Faraday, Maxwell and Volta ever imagined that their research would spawn the likes of supercomputers and cellphones. I’m sure Apple is also thinking about and maybe even working on the next must have gadget ( even though we don’t currently realise that we must have it) that will efficiently vacuum our wallets.

I’m just thinking that if one day they can figure out how to do it at the speed of light, if there would be a bigger difference!
this episode was awesome! yeah i have thought that dark matter is a whole world of different fields that just dont really interact with us in any meaningful way. they dont necessarily need to be particles in the strict sense. space seems to be dimensionality itself, and i wonder if its just energy (of any kind) that pinches it, even fields which we never have any interaction with. it seems likely to me that there is other "multiverse like dimension" manifestations of reality which could theoretically exist if you were to participate with interacting with those other fields. who knows, there could be a manifestation of reality where aliens are puzzled at the density fluctuations which look like 'magic harmonic rotating spheres' made by our jupiter & planets, when what "should be" just a uniform cloud of their brand of matter cloud. and the scale could be way out of whack as well. jupiter could be the size of a basketball for dark matter aliens.
The "Lone white male" line towards the beginning was particularly grating. Fuck us I guess.
Wtf, thus guy is so smart yet crazy as cab be! He talking about the start of a Dyson sphere like collider well great conversation!
When we discover what gravity is it will be the next advancement in technology like the computer age. Screwing with black holes though may be a bad idea.
Dr. James is really cool, very interesting person. Would we be able to see the particle accelerator on the moon? I wonder what that would look like. I’ll go look maybe some artists have made imaginings.

If Higgs field then isn’t gravity from say earth that field getting dragged into the planet.. but what happens ? And if mass drags in everything based on effects based on Higgs field and little else until really physically close then what about empty vacuum space.. shouldn’t that field being dragged or deformed be replaced or made somehow or is it a static like a fluid that doesn’t move but just has a significant effect on the cosmos (as the guest says it) especially with light.. really feels like as a static field it just have ways to bend and break those properties to break it’s effects on energy and matter.

It took Einstein to figure out that the orbit of Mercury changes because of the gravity of the sun. A large circular structure near that orbit would be rapidly distorted, even ignoring the high temperature and radiation. Dismantling Mercury without having it fly apart, then moving the pieces even with mass drivers, would require technology which to us would be indistinguishable from magic, to borrow a phrase. A civilization at that level would have figured out shortcuts making that kind of construction of a supercollider in space as logical as the construction of a bigger Stonehenge in space.
