This video is propaganda

I am a BIG fan of Sixty Symbols. I hope Brady and his team will be back to visit, soon!

Although both Steve and I (the talking heads in the video) are both physicists, there are thousands of people working at/for CERN who are not. There are engineers of various descriptions (mechanical, electrical, microelectronic, civil...), technicians at all levels, admin staff etc. So there are loads of different opportunities. What unites us all is that we are all working at the cutting-edge of science and technology in a really exciting multicultural environment. Come join the fun!

There is a really big theory group here at CERN, who speak in maths. And they are joined by a huge number of theorists from institutes all around the world. Their blackboards are truly a sight to behold!

I love the statement about the mountains... "MOST PEOPLE have never heard of them but they're actually VERY FAMOUS"

For real man

Physics is often perceived as "hard". But it depends on your perspective. I always found the quantitative subjects (maths, physics..) far easier to grasp than the qualitative ones where I had to write essays and hope that the examiner agreed (or at least appreciated) my perspective. The main thing is to enjoy what you are doing. If this is the case you will do well!

Physics don't interest me at all Chemistry though... Everything is chemistry, my hobby and passion

This is actually quiet fun to watch a video about CERN and especially a Q & A video right after my own visit to CERN. I came back form my field trip to CERN just a week ago and it was awesome! I pretty much knew all the things from the video, but it was fun to see places that you just witnessed with your own eyes. We didn't get to see the detectors though, 'cause the LCH was on during our three day visit but it was cool non the less!

I like the way these videos are shot. Gives it a unique prospective.

Was there as a summer student - was pretty sweet :)

yes, you are right that luck certainly plays a part. Being in the right place at the right time is definitely a contributing factor. But having drive and determination and an enthusiasm to be part of this is, I think, the biggest factor. If you want something enough and are prepared to work for it, you will go far....

What about janitorial staff? or food services? I think it would be interesting if you interviewed a few of them at CERN.

They don’t interview their servants!

Wow, thanks for this video, Brady! I think this video actually inspired me to look into a future of physics and do a bit of in depth research on how to get to do what I want to do. So, thanks:)

Visiting CERN in April, can't wait!

In that case, congrats are in order! But seriously, you guys do some mind-blowing stuff and I'm often in awe. I wish I'd paid more attention in school...

Thanks Brady for your great videos!

Now that I know that students can get work experience there I'm definitely going to do that! Thanks Brady for this information! *flies away*

It's up close and personal. I like it because it's as if they're speaking directly to me.

Here is one: CERN played a large role in the development of the internet/world wide web, which most people would agree has had a significant affect on our daily lives today. For more information, you can look at Wikipedia articles of History of the Internet and History of the World Wide Web, and view the Sixty Symbols video "What is CERN?" from June 23, 2012 starting at 5 minutes into the video.

Went in a school trip to Cern and Geneva on the weekend, crazy if you guys were there at the same time!

So much smartness, it's crazy.

I so hope to work there someday, visiting next month :D

Apologies for the delay in replying! I am from the UK originally, but have worked here (for CERN on CMS) for nearly twenty years! (yes, I hide my age well, honest!) The Jura are higher than any mountain in the UK, which I always find amusing. And it is truly beautiful here! Come join the fun!

Amazing

I think there are only a few and probably not many vacancies for MD's at CERN. I started as a freshman with the goal of going to the UM Medical School. Changed my mind. Still wonder what it would have been like to be a doctor. Must be fascinating and challenging. And there is a lot of research in that field, as well.

my opinion is that you're getter better at this, you now understand the power of a strait cut, precise timing and parallel editing, the attraction that create a close-up in documentary filmmaking, and you're fast, that too close complaint is nonsense

I'm one of the lucky ones. My universities space society went on a trip to CERN last month and I was one of the lucky ones to go. I loved it :) I even bought a CERN hardhat!

CERN.. One of the top names on my list of places to apply for industrial placements!

Seems that brady has more CERN material... Bring it more often !!!

There are a very limited number of internships for high school students, although one can find information on CERN's HR pages (can't put URL's here). Ways to participate? Find a nearby University that participates in any of the experiments. Ask your physics teacher to set up a Masterclass with that institute's help. Come visit during vacation. Above all, study and get good grades!

Staff members, Students and most Fellows recruited by CERN come from the Member States. A limited number of scientists from Non-Member State countries are accepted within the Associates and Fellows Programme

Go to the CERN public web site. I think you'll find a link for students there. Too late to apply for this summer, but there are other programs.

This is a long lasting structure(given there’s upkeep as well), so maybe we will see CERN be used for other purposes in the future. Also, I wasn’t doubting that you knew discovery precedes application. No, what I was trying to get across that given the course of history you can trust that investigation IS worth it. Then there are more personal reasons for investing in science. CERN motivates me and no doubt others to work at our ‘craft’ because I am amazed at what people can accomplish.

When did you film this? Isn't it impossible to get to the main detectors right now (or for the past year as it happens)? If this is true, how much more awesome videos do you have in reserve? :D

Thanks for the shout out! Thursday at 17:00 CET (11:00 ET). We'll be talking about the LHC and Grid Computing tomorrow "The World is our Calculator!" Tweet your questions to #askCERN or #HangoutWithCERN and come watch on the CERNTV KZread channel or the CERN Google+ site!

Nice Video. Thanks!

Found out today that the Higgs Boson particle is part of a wave/field. I love Sixty Symbols & that they renovated the LHC to discover even more exotic matter ;)

I want this comment to just prove a point and hope Brady considers it, but I must admit that your reasoning is solid. I haven't considered that point and it's valid, but I think using such close ups sparingly would produce a better effect especially since Brady uses very tight shots too often. I expect most people who disagree with me to have some immature refute like claiming I don't know how to make quality videos or supporting the status quo for no reason. You have a great interpretation.

But going to Switzerland must have been great, really. For how long did you stay there and what other places did you check out? Also, visiting especially CERN must have been awesome!

Just wanted to say I love dr. Goldfarb's comments below!

These guys are inspiring

I bet professor Copeland was trembling from excitement. I adore his reaction 4:09 These are the moments we're all living for, right?

I'm hopefully gonna visit CERN in June for work experiance

Thank you!

I would say "No better environment than where everyone has the same interests as you" , even if they aren't smarter than you, they seek the same goal as you, you work together to achive that goal and learn from eachother and your experiments!

Mexico participates in CMS. Find a local university that is a participant and ask them about opportunities, including internships and masterclasses.

Indeed! I was expressing my own ignorance (coming from a country whose mountains are all smaller than the Jura). I worked here for about five days before someone pointed out the relationship between Jura and Jurassic!

We'll visit any time Steven (especially when you're switched off and we can have a few precious minutes downstairs!)

I didn't travel all the way to Geneva to stand five metres away and film some boring TV news interview that we've been conditioned to watch for the last 30 years - many people watch online video on mobile devices and small displays and I quite like getting up close and personal from time to time... I take your criticism on board though!

Dear Brady, just after hearing in your video that even 15-16 year old students were at CERN to follow a physicist and get their hands dirty, I jumped up and down on my seat and immediately went looking on the internet. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything. This would be an absolutely amazing opportunity. If you could help me in any way finding how this would be possible, it would be amazing! Dear regards, an overly excited 15 year old dutch student.

A few more but not many!

I honestly kinda pictured these guys more as sitting around smashing particles and seeing what happens (obviously knowing they do more than that) rather than "sitting around in an ivory tower"

It must be so dreary to have no innate curiosity, and to see no value in the understanding of the world around us. I cannot imagine having such a lack of imagination--and am so grateful for the creative and highly intelligent people that allow us to know about the universe we live in. And not just because what they learn has practical application (we would not have any modern amenities without them)--but because they enlighten us and spur our curiosity. Well, most of ours, anyway.

I looks and sound to be a awesome place to work and live, i hope that people who get there realize the importance of their surroundings. I wouldn't be accepted as an intern but i would love to visit :)

rightly so!

Many people applied the same argument to the space program. What possible benefit can shooting men briefly into space then bringing them back 3 days later possibly be of any benefit? Well, technologies and industries that produce things like LED's, water purification, solar energy, food safety, the list goes on. We have progressed as a society because of the knowledge we have previously and continue to build upon.

In fact this tunneling microscope is so good that it can even resolve individual atoms! Now you may say what is the good of a microscope that good. Well it can be used to create ultra-miniaturized circuits, with wires having maybe just 10 atoms across! I have written a lot now and I really could give more unexpected applications of abstract discoveries, but hopefully you will be okay with having to trust that discovery does lead to applications even if you can’t see it at first.

I applied to CERN's summer research program... maybe I'll get a chance to work there for a bit. :)

I'm going on a school trip there tomorrow!

I might possibly get to do work experience at CERN, my cousins friend works there and says I may have a chance of doing it, but I don't know yet and I'm not getting my hopes up, and I'm going there on a school trip in about a month

The reason i didn't study physics is that I'm just not very good at maths, so it sounds to me like you got the tools for the job. Go for it.. =)

That's funny. I just came from the Dragon Curve video with the fractals in Jurassic Park, and then he goes and mentions Jurassic right in the first minute of the video.

Okay I'm in. I wanna see the hadron collider :D

She chose a hard, but rewarding career. Show your appreciation by studying hard and telling her that you appreciate her effort!

Random question... I need to take Physics 1 and 2, would you say that is tough or is that not so hard to get an A. Going for a science degree for Med School and i was wondering if this will be hard to take with my Anatomy and Organic 2 chemistry class...

No good answer to the salary question. Since we come from such a variety of places, our salaries vary tremendously. It can be difficult, as it is a very expensive place to live. The skiing is indeed great this year!

thank you! much appreciated :)

Brady next year I'm doing work experience, I seriously want to do it at CERN. How do you apply for it!? I can't find anything on the website.

This is my dream job.

Your are right, sorry for my contrite response. I am one of the fortunate to be at CERN as a "User". That is, I work for my home institute (The University of Michigan), but am located at CERN. This is true, however, for the vast majority of us. I think there are about 10k users and 2k staff. So, depending on the job you want, you might look for a participating institute.

Brady, I have been wondering for quite a while, why your videos seem to have duplicated lines? If that's due to deinterlacing why not use a better algorithm?

Wow, this is interesting

Why large, complex structures to probe matter? Because E is inversely proportional to wavelength. The smaller the wavelength, the smaller we can probe. Also, the more massive particles that decayed during the big bang require more energy to produce (E=mc^2). To get high energy collisions, you need a large accelerator (think Indy drivers). The detectors must be large and precise to detect those particles, as they decay into high-momentum particles. Precision is essential.

I guess being original and creative with the old idea of interviewing is just taboo, seeing as the criticism is coming from such a renowned, and extremely experienced interviewer/camera man. Seriously Brady, just look at all the interviews this guy has on his youtube! He must be the best ;)

Hey, sorry, didn't see your question until now - Steven is right though. For the Summer Student program you, generally speaking, need something like a bachelor in physics though.

Is there still more CERN videos coming?

Hey Steven, I have a question. I'm not really near any universities or have any links with them, and I'm 14, and by next year I will do work experience as a 15 yr old. I want to do work experience at CERN, can you help?

I'm really interested in the student internship (the one for 16 year olds), but I couldn't find any info about that on their webpage, any informatioin would be grately appreciated.

Why are half the comments about his "interviewing style" (which is perfectly fine, by the way) and not about the amazingness that is Sixty Symbols?

the good opportunities do I have that are 18 and goes out last year in school in Sweden. And are studying aircraft engineering (B1.1). And loves physics (best in class). How big is the chance for me to come down to CERN?

I wanna get there !

Oh man oh MAN I want to go to CERN! Please :D

what discomfort? the closer you are the better it gets, sergio leone understood that, but since you don't I recommend you view some of his movies

I hadn't thought about the perspective at all until this. I don't have an issue with it though, personally.

Hmm.. I agreed with him at first, but you make a very good point. You've won me over.

How far away is it to your closest snow resort?

Nja, not too sure about that. I used that line to try and get more friends a few times, but didn't get any (which is quite weird).

You mentioned that you take 15/16 years olds foe like a week. Can i still apply for that?

We robe to the zoo. So not this time. But we can go in the afternoon.

In your place, i would look if there are any educational physics networks in your country. In germany, there is one called "Netzwerk Teilchenwelt". It ist a network in which some research institutes cooperate, for example CERN ande an few german ones, who provide workshops for young students. And if you visited some of them and are a active part of that network you have the chance to go to CERN for a workshop. Maybe there is a similar thing in the netherlands.

Can you do the same type of video but with SETI

my new life goal is to work there now. im already a physics major so i guess im on the right track ^.^

for example at 3:07 its HUGE. Will you keep doing that?

:o could you please tell me how? I want to go there soooo badly!

My only chance of getting a job in Cern is as a cleaner (not knocking cleaners). Some of us just have to be happy with living in a time when the secrets of the universe are being found out for us. I'm happy with that.

What does the world get out of it? Well, the pursuit of the Higgs Boson has already brought us major advances in medical technology, including hadron therapy, precision medical imaging, huge computing advances in the form of the world-wide LHC Grid, new techniques in education and collaboration sciences, and a few communication tools like, well, the world-wide web, which appears to be serving us quite well, at the moment. Did I mention a better understanding of the universe?

Wow I wish I could do work experience here

^Such a good sport

Visiting CERN was a brilliant experience and also fascinating at the experiments that are carried out, plus everyone was so knowledgeable and friendly.
