+coldsoup49 The result of loving what you do for a living. We all should pursue our passions, it's the secret to a happy life.

This is mind-bendingly interesting. This device represents the pinnacle of human scientific development, not just in the field of physics, but in our fundamental understanding of the very fabric of the universe. I just wish I understood it.

It's amazing, I just can't comprehend how complex the construction is.

Brady is awesome at asking clarifying questions!

So, I'm new here, but I think this has officially become my favourite channel on KZread.

Show us the beam dump please! I've never seen any coverage of it, but it's fascinating.

I can feel the excitement. It's the closest I'll ever get to it.

Seeing this guy wear a helmet standing in front of all that makes me so happy. It looks like the future and I'm here to experience it! Just imagine what we'll be doing in 15 years.

big thanks to Brady for mentioning that the construction was "sped up".

Great tour!

The most informative video I've ever seen at the LHC, thanks! Just make sure that you don't leave Brady behind without a safety key!

Unfortunately no picture does this monstrosity justice. I felt like a little child when I saw it, just starring at it in total awe.

That mans enthusiasm restores my faith in humanity. #Science #ToBoldlyGo

wow, i live within 5 minutes of the tevatron but this is incredible

ohh man wish it went for longer, Great job Brady

we've got a video coming on that!!!

This is the best channel on KZread. Period. But, you can't measure how good something is :(

Every minute there are 24 hours of video uploaded to youtube, on average. No one will ever see every video, it is impossible. But I agree, Brady's videos and channels are amazing.

Tweeted. His enthusiasm is wonderful. You've got a great job Brady, and do wonders with it.

very nice to come back to a time when the Higgs event was still under debate and being checked

Awesome! So there is hope for humanity yet... :) Sometimes you just gotta step back and look at the bigger picture. People need to be reminded of that from time to time.

How do the two opposing beams get brought together to collide? If the beams are speeding up in different directions when are the "points" switched to force the beams to collide and how? What makes the protons in the first place - what kind of atoms are the protons from?

I can't thank you enough for these videos

i love all these CERN vids as i was there on a school trip not so long ago. although we didn't get to see the actual LHC or the detectors. but its still nice to think i have been what your looking at and showing people

That was a really nice explanation of the collisions.

Your videos ARE the best on all of KZread!

Awesome videos!!! Always looking forward to them, especially the LHC vids! That thing is just humungous!

This is an amazing video! Thanks and keep posting!

That makes a lot more sense, thank you!

This is the kind of stuff that made me love science when I was little. :)

There are many videos on-line of the LHC "in action." Also, you can find real-time updates from CERN regarding the status of the beams, etc. CERN is incredibly open about how things work. I'm wondering what you'd expect to see.

Interesting stuff. Thanks for posting!

Love the episode! Thnx 60symbols

Thank you!! Questions I have been wandering about for a long time ia answered here! How broad are the beam? How many collisions pr second? And bonus: Only 20 of 'LOADS' of protons are colliding! Again, THANK YOU!!

great vids and explainations of the LHC

Beautiful. Thank you.

It's so beautiful!!!!! ❤️

Kinda makes you giddy to see such a gorgeous machine.

its unreal that we can build something like this, it's incredible :O

best LHC video, thx!

These particle collision wall paints are beautiful.

Saw another large hadron collider video and was like uughhhh.. THEN i saw it was sixtysymbols! You guys really are the best

I'm not smart enough for such science like this, and that's why is amazes me every time I think our species has created the means to do difficult and intricate experiments. Just wow!

awesome stuff

CERN's home video producers are a bit Route 1 when it comes to public domain music: The Planets, the Flight of the Bumblebee. Does it begin with Beethoven's Fifth and finish with the Ride of the Valkyries?

i still don't understand why i love this channel so much...makes me wonder if i should go take a class in physics....

ii love the buzz your getting

Very cool!

I'm just in med school and this stuff is way over my head, but, man is it exciting. Striving to unlock the secrets of the universe... Are you not entertained?!

I'm an American teenager, but it's my absolute DREAM to work here :D

Superb.

"They will never have the chance to be involved in a collision" in this context: sad in pretty much any other context; really good!!!

Coming from the most recent video about the proposal of the new massive LHC, its almost sad to see just how optimistic physicists were that the LHC would find dark matter and confirm super symmetry. Like there wasn't a doubt in their minds, this was the machine to do it. I guess thats how science goes though, and I don't think anyone could make the claim that the LHC was a bad investment. Even without confirming these specific theories, the amount of knowledge and understanding this machine gave us is worth more than the price tag. Even more important, the amount of press and recognition the higgs and LHC brought into public view is something money can't buy. I wonder just how many thousands of students entered their PhD program just because of the LHC alone. So many kids were inspired by this thing, its a real beam of light. Its sort of like the Apollo program in that sense, it got people into science.

You should tell us more about the other experiments and detectors.

How serendipitous.

Ah thank you for clearing that up

AWESOME

How do they just "Take a couple of protons" and make them run around the beam? This thing is so complicated I have absolutely no clue how anyone could ever build something like that. This is mindblowing...

it was a small hutch for equipment while people go through some of the security stuff!!!

could you do a video on the Majorana Fermion? seems really fascinating

Good call on naming that music used at that point of the video.

I'm not sure if I understand your question but I'll try to answer anyways. The reason why they travel at nearly the speed of light is because of their weight, without any weight they could travel at the speed of light. As an object gets faster it also gains mass which works to slow it making it impossible to reach the speed of weight regardless of how little mass you have. The ones that hit however are broken into base particles that are scattered and (hopefully) observed.

It'd be fun to put an apple or something at the location where they shoot the "beam dump" and see what happens to it.

yeah new video

The comparison with the reader was just to mention I know the technology exists to create something (like a tube) on a small scale. I wasn't saying that the length of the LHC was too short (it's needed to increase the speed) and I'm not saying to remove sensors (you could pretty much keep them as they are) I am talking about the chamber in which they collide should be funnelled into a chamber that is only a few atoms big so that there is less volume in the chamber specifically.

i love the vid, woulda loved to see it for myself though. Its an amazing piece of machinery, even if the Higgs theory is disproved, which I find doubtful.

Great question. Once the beams have been around so many times, and been through all kinds of abuse, they start to go a little wonky. They dump them out at a minimum beam energy to prevent even the slightest bit of wonky-ness from developing... Which is the last thing you want in a beam. Basically, you dump it while it is still fully controllable, you don't wait for it to become a problem because you might have a microsecond or 10 before bad things happen.

This is why I LOVE SCIENCE

Is there any footage on this channel or elsewhere of the thing actually running? Not the beam itself, of course, but just the machine humming and the data being transmitted and etc.? Like surveillance footage or some such? Or do video cams somehow get fcked up by all that collateral from the collisions?

Great video . what is the source of the protons?

I've noticed the sixtysymbols course on iTunes U has got 6 videos last updated last year. Do you think it is possible for more to be uploaded onto it and it as very helpful resource, especially meaning you can view the videos any time.

Because Imagination and human creativity is being celebrated every time a proton is smashed to oblivion. Human ingenuity is something absolutely worth celebrating in such a royal and lavish way. (On a side note that is more relatable. Particle accelerates around the world do research on Bio-physics. So they produce particles that can target cancer. The knowledge gained is enormous.)

You should make a video on the double slit experiment

thanks for the tweet!!!

Yup.. that's right. There's a calc on the CERN website (can't post a link, but I just searched for 'LHC+mosquito').

Cool I've been there last year, love Science ! :D

Yeah, although it wasn't put politely, he kinda has a point. Much as I love what they're doing at the LHC, I think the ITER project is more important for our immediate future. It was delayed by several years due to budget shortfalls.

Watching this video gave me some hope for humanity. Watching the ad popping up "Speak to a psychic" made me loose it again.

new particle discovered at CERN- talk about that next please

There are a lot more bunches than just 2. They way they control where beams interact is at specified interaction points using magnets to steer them.

I'm happy with second!

There have been many been dump experiments at various detectors at other coliders. Two main roadblocks are 1) interest. 2) money. There actually are some experiments at the beam dumps, but more engineering tests and general theoretical work with beam control, etc. There may be more going on... but I am not aware.

Amazing 😍👏💎

No. Equatorial Hadron Collider. It's just an imagination, not a potentiality.

it's beautiful

The advantage of that is that you would have a much more narrow stream increasing likely hood for a collision because there would be virtually no area in which an atom could go past without hitting another one, like in an hour glass only allowing a few grains of sand through at a time. I asked specifically because I would assume there is a specific reason they chose a much larger chamber as opposed to a narrow chamber with a higher probability of collision

awe inspiring facility, reminds me of Half-Life

how do they isolate those protons? i'm asking this because for as far as i know protons are usually a particle in a complete atom right? so there would have to me electrons and neutrons involved aswell in those collisions right? can someone explain this?

Thanks for this.. don't know how I missed it. But thanks for CERN. Only thing it gives me worries about is that the last real news and interest push I've heard about ITER is years back. I'm wondering if these projects shouldn't be communicating, endorsing each other, or why we the public haven't heard about it.

Perhaps you could explain a bit more. In this video it's mentioned the higgs event maybe being detected, however in other recent videos on LHC they talk about higgs not been found yet and that there's quite a group of people there that suspect it doesn't actually exist. But if it does exist, the area in which it exists got a lot smaller over the year. Could you clear that up a little? What's the current status? Thanks

I dig the Holst in the background of the animation. (around 3 minutes in)

I understand why you think that. But think about it this way: Those guys are experimenting at the frontiers of known physics. It's true that there aren't yet that many practical applications (although antimatter is an excellent candidate for efficient energy production!). But that doesn't mean that it doesn't have lots of practical applications, it's only that they haven't found them yet (bear in mind, they are only starting!).

Wow. Just ... wow. Anyone who knows me knows how difficult it is to get me to shut up about just about anything. But to leave me speechless from the opening gun? Just ... wow.

That bit about dumping the beam, it sounds like there are some missed opportunities there. They should set it up so that the beam can be dumped into a target area where they test the effects of the beam on various substances. Like, say, a meat-based replica of the human hand.

If you doubt the applications of quantum mechanics and particle physics, think about this: The transistor only exists thanks to quantum mechanics. Transistors are in every piece of electronics you see. If it weren't for research in quantum mechanics, we'd still be using vacuum tubes in electronics, and your cell phone would be the size of a stereo.

How many safety keys do they have? I assume there must be quite a number, to ensure that they always have enough for the staff (if every staff member carries one, that is).

No, not as far as I know. It really is called "Large Hadron Collider", because it is that huge assembly of instruments. I don't know if there even is a distinction by size between hadrons, at least never heard of it.

I maybe have a silly question here. But I can't understand that if the protons can go around again, what stops them colliding somewhere else in the tube. Is it two tubes or one and how do they control direction of the protons?

Is there any energy recovery from the proton dump at the end? Or is there not enough heat generated?

I'm very skeptical of that. Could you provide some of the sources so I can read up on it?
