[@SkashTheKitsune]

it's surprising how you can see, touch feel and interact with results while having it explained on all levels from basic such as light gas it goes boom to the understanding of the molecules and understanding how decay works on the particle level so that you can truely understand things in a different level, when an experiment is run so much is happening all at once and it... entrances us

[@DownhillAllTheWay]

Yup! It got me.

[@uscovenant2350]

They drew me in, and really hooked me at the end of the first one with a deep example of stacking forces. I mean it's simple itself but when you apply that idea to other things, you make even more sense of things. Always increasing our understanding of the Universe. Little by little. The top physicist in the world are making progress more and more in particle physics. They are aware of things that they have to confirm and then later on, we hear about it.

[@arohanuikeahi]

Shari, they don't "trap" them at CERN, they use detectors to trace their trajectories in the nanoseconds before they're annihilated, somewhat like taking a photograph of the collision. Trapping them for use as, say, rocket fuel, is a much, much, much harder problem.

[@WormulonDCP]

Like electrons, photons are responsible for conveying the electromagnetic charge between constituent quarks as well as leptons. The electromagnetic force has greater range than the strong nuclear force. In order for two protons to overcome electrostatic repulsion, they must have enough kinetic energy to break the coulomb barrier and settle into the range of the strong nuclear force.

[@corneliusdrvanderbilt822]

It has been more than 6 years since LHC proved that Higgs Boson converts Energy to Matter. It has raised more questions of How and Why and When?

[@skwiggsskytower2517]

I hope an updated version of this video is made soon. Now that the higgs has been found I'd like to know if the standard model is actually complete or if it has unlocked a new set of problems to explore.

[@utl94]

PhD student in particle physics here. The Standard model of particle physics could in some sense be thought of as complete nowadays. To some, this is a provocative view but the justification is that the model no longer offers any clear path to solve the additional questions we have about the Universe. The Standard model explains to a remarkable degree every single experiment and experience that has ever taken place on this planet. With one possible exception, the anomalous magnetic dipole moment of the muon worth reading up on, the Standard model seems capable of explaining everything. Yet, it does not explain everything. Gravity is not part of the Standard model and the Theory of gravity holds its own ground that is vastly different from the Standard model way of doing things. Dark matter and dark energy that seems to make up a lot of this Universe has no explanation within the Standard model. The issue is, unlike the problem of how particles acquire mass which was solved by the Higgs mechanism, these problems have no obvious solution within the Standard model framework nor does the model clearly point to a direction in which to look. This is despite a lot of effort from a lot of researchers, of course. Questions remain and the answer may very well lie beyond the Standard model or we simply need to make some additions. We do not know yet.

[@skwiggsskytower2517]

@@utl94 So the standard model has become Schrödingers model. both complete and not complete. XD kidding. Thanks for the response. Not sure which is more shocking. The idea that we have questions that we can't fit into this "complete" model, or that I got a response 9 years later :)

If you watched part 1 you can skip to 1:56 or you can admire those two minutes of Brian all over again.

[@uscovenant2350]

Like I mentioned in part 1, the stacking of forces really clicks well with me. Like gravity being one of the top 4 forces we know of besides the 2 nuclear forces, gravity is stacked at every level of the universal structure- for example we can start in the middle- here on earth. (And if things are indeed infinitely small or big, then there's no real "middle". We have only set ourselves as a "zeroing" kinda like we gauge our distance from the Sun as 1 AU. A reference to start from. On our level and then on to galactic scales and light years.

[@MrNINTENDONITUS]

Tyson is one of the only people left on the planet, who is in the public sphere and fighting for NASA. that alone earns my respect, never mind how beautifully he speaks about the cosmos. i'd ask you show me some respect too please, if you continue cursing towards me i'll end this conversation.

[@stanf4610]

Why are the detectors so large? Are the subatomic particles tracked many meters from the collision, or are the electronics just that massive and the collisions are really quite tiny.

[@nathijomac]

Particles are travelling close to the speed of light upon collision (3 x 10^8 m/s), so the produced particles will also be travelling pretty fast. If the detector is 30m thick then it will take the particles 0.1 microseconds to exit (assuming this speed). Also, the detectors are constructed in layers that are design to capture/absorb different types of particles. Generally electrons and photons will get absorbed closer to the center of the detector, then hadrons after that and finally muons towards the exterior (neutrinos are also produced, but these interact extremely weakly and so it's unlikely that these will be captured). There are also different types of detectors to fit in, some detect the trajectories of the particles, others detect the energy deposited by them. All this allows physicists to reconstruct the collisions that happen.

[@SJ-to3dt]

Just a question. How can two "protons" colliding together in the LHC represent the conditions that existed during the creation of the universe? The latter of which might have had a complex combination of a lot of such particles.

[@rickquest6385]

I like Brian Cox but not only is this video very old it repeats it's self for the first few minutes of part 2. I may do a search to see if Brian has anything newer.

[@JDKnight65]

Am I wrong in thinking that the uncertainty principle means that light itself changes the behavior of things? What I mean is that you cannot observe the actions of a particle on the subatomic level because the photons that hit it and bounce off (allowing you to see it) cause it's actions to change.

[@gman9997]

@ windbringer im not wrong dude antineutrons polairty and up and down quarks is different from regular neutrons i wasent saying that they were the same. with out the the neutron the gluons wouldnt be able to bind any of the quarks or excange color charge between the protons and neutrons anti and so forth, so the difference in polarity do matter

So is it safe to suggest these othere particles where finding could makeup other dimensions????

[@acarpentersson8271]

If all forces are particles then is there a string of these force particles that connects the electrons to the nucleus? What would cause the force particle to connect or interact to one another and the other particles? Would there then be another particle that explains that? If the Higgs interacts with some particles and not others does this mean there is another set of particles that then connects the Higgs to the particles it interacts with? And why would it not connect to the other particles? I had one question before I found the answer in this 2 part series. Now I have more questions that are pretty much the exact same question but just about more things.

[@colinlearns]

The basic process is to shoot a proton beam traveling near the speed of light into a block of dense metal. When the protons collide with the nuclei of the metal enough energy is created for positrons to spontaneously form. These positrons are traveling near the speed of light in all directions and very hard to trap. Go to CERN's website - a great place to learn about this and other particle phisics - to find out more.

[@cloudricklloyd1]

This is so awesome! gets me so excited!

[@WormulonDCP]

Does anyone know the name of the theme played at the very beginning of the video?

[@frost1947]

Is the apple being "pulled" down to the ground, or pushed?

[@trunc8]

Dwight Frost Pulled

[@philips20001]

Dwight Frost pushed, since gravity is caused by the curvature of space being pulled in towards the mass, then the apple is being pushed along with it, because if that apple had no mass the molecules of space moving in towards the earth wouldn't have any effect on the apple and the apple would be weightless ;-) Simples

[@philips20001]

i could put that better. the apple is being pulled yes. imagine an apple, floating towards a waterfall. now the water is falling, being pulled by gravity. the apple isnt, if the water wasn't pushing it, it wouldnt move. it does not extend to the waterfalls edge and so cant be being pulled, the water does, so thats being pulled, while it is, its carrying the apple. if asked, pushed or pulled, you would have to say pulled, technically though, its being carried ;-)

[@amramjose]

Dwight Frost It is acted upon by the force of gravity. Pulling and pushing depend on one's point of view or perspective. The ground "pulls" the apple? Does a punch outward push the target away or do the muscles pull the fist away from the body? F=ma...

[@philips20001]

Since the fist is in front of the muscles, a punch pushes the fist. try pinching with a 5 kilo weight like i do, you'll see what i mean. first you lift, then punch. unless you're swinging your arms to punch, then you're using centrifugal force, to start that, you certainly do pull, just at the start.

[@Sharperthanu1]

There must be SOMEBODY inside all those particles.

[@adamrspears1981]

photons carry the electromagnetic force. When 2 electrons come near to each other, they swap photons. The swapping is responsible for the 2 like charged electrons to repel. Question: The nucleus of an atom is comprised of multiple protons. I know gluons carry the Strong Nuclear Force and hold the nucleus together. Because the like charged protons repel each other & without the gluons counteract this... If swapping photons cause electrons to repel, then what is swapped causing protons to repel?

[@TheAmericasarmy]

By north and south poles you mean positive and negative charged poles?

[@oddviews]

You are right. I live in Thailand and talk to many monks for more than ten years. They joke that Buddhism is only registered as a religion for tax purposes.

Add to that his intelligence, his traveling the world, his working in places like CERN where people would kill to be and the fact he used to be in relatively successful bands. He exists to make me feel inadequate.

[@dwinsemius]

You might think that there was a hierarchy where the force carrying particles might be massless at the lowest level (the electron and EM fields) and then get more massive as the strengths increased from weak (with the W and Z's) to the strong force (with quark and gluon fields). But the gluons are massless and the protons get most of their their mass from the virtual gluon clouds that surround them. Seems kind of "irregular".

[@Olegsky]

So forgive my ignorance, if higgs bosons are everywhere why cant the same detector at CERN detect them all around us?

[@VladimirZharkov]

@Hank520Tube because the higgs is a massive particle and for particles with mass to just appear, excluding virtual particles, it takes a massive amount of energy because E=MC^2 (Energy = Mass X Speed of Light squared)

[@hankcardinal8069]

antimatter energy harnessed could enable mankind to travel the stars. I am very interested in it's development. One must fist understand that everything we see around us is actually floating matter with lots of space between each particle. Only then would you want to know how these particles are arranged together to form certain objects, like lets say the human body.

[@hbunnyo]

We knew that energy and mass are the same thing. Only matter is a really dense form of energy. That's what we get from E=mc^2. We don't know why mass can only move very slowly through space-time. What separates mass from energy in this sense? The Higgs Field. To prove that, we need the Higgs particle. Perhaps if we understood it enough we could create a bubble of sorts that can allow mass to move at the speed of light. Probably a whole bunch of other stuff too.

[@101megamax]

Is it just me or is the sound effect at 12:22 the same sound as when energy balls explode in Half Life 2?

[@bonniebabird]

A month before this video was posted, Nassim Haramein submitted his theory of what the "strong force" actually IS. He proposed a property of protons that not only unifies both classical physics and quantum physics and mathematically proves the relation of gravity functioning on a quantum level to properties of black hole energy. For his explanations, you should look for the video "'The Connected Universe". Not on You Tube anymore, but maybe you can research his work and obtain access thru The Resonance Science Project.

[@baruchben-david4196]

It's a shame that all the geniuses who comment here aren't doing science. They could straighten out the confused working scientists and solve all the problems right away.

[@alkharam9832]

I was learned that the very first person who figured out that electricity and magnetism are actually the same force was James Maxwell. Faraday wasn't good mathematician and he asked James to present his discoveries into mathematics language and when he tried to do that, the equations pointed it is the different manifestation of the very same force. Both Maxwell and Faraday were surprised with this discovery.

[@frost1947]

I flirted with the idea of gravity having a familiarity with perspective, in a manner, not unlike that of Einstein's relativity, regarding the "pull" or "push" of its effect and evidenced in the recent observation of a reversal in gravity's effect at the periphery of space, would one see a credulity in this?

[@petercnm]

that the Higgs is called the Higgs boson, that's something we cannot change anymore. But if Prof. Cox mentions the theory behind it, i feel it is appropriate to mention Belgian physicists François Englert and Robert Brout, who presented the theory a short time before Higgs, and were awarded the Nobel prize together with Peter Higgs. (actually Robert Brout already passed away by that time). A bit too much of British chauvinis here...

[@MrNINTENDONITUS]

it exists because particles react differently with the higgs field, particles that react a lot get greater mass. as for a cause, well that's a bit more complex. our macro plain of existence is full of cause and effect, but when you shrink down to sub atomic levels quantum law takes over. reality becomes less certain, it becomes probability, because of this, completely random events can occur. so it's actually possible that there's no cause. mind blowing right? :)

[@stevet9864]

A crash course in particle physics. And even one of the simplest ideas, like electron shells, is never mentioned. When two electrons get close together, a photon is exchanged, pushing them apart. Damned over-simplification, and that's the ultimate in complexity we find in this video.

[@TheOskay00]

Electron shells are mentioned in part 1 (as well as probability densities, which is far more correct than "shells"). And yes, electrons repel by the exchange of a pair of virtual photons according to QED... do you want the mathematical derivation or something? Read a postgraduate textbook. The aim of this series is to introduce lay people to particle physics (and possibly convince them that LHC wasn't a waste of money etc...), not to be an undergraduate lecture. :)

[@baruchben-david4196]

It's inevitable, if you don't use the math.

[@gman9997]

what made me figure that out was anti neutrons. I was like well if neutrons don't have an electric charge then how can it possibly have a counterpart if it too has a charge of nothing pretty much. well the answer to that is even though both the matter and anti-matter neutrons have a charge of zero they are still different because their north and south polls are opposite to one another ...it took me a long damn time to figure out that all particles have north and south polls.

[@ConfectionerCat]

If you'd travel by the speed of light, in your perspective, you'd be travelling an ∞ distance in (1÷∞) time, because in your perspective space itself would completely cease to exist. As you travel faster from A to B, the distance itself in between A & B shortens, because of an event called "Lorentz contraction". What I'm trying to say is: from your perspective, it doesn't really matter which one you choose: teleportation or the ability to travel as fast as you want.

[@gman9997]

i wonder why people don't realize that even though neutrons don't have an electric charge that they still are responsible for keeping the nucleus together even though neutrons don't have an electric charge they still have a north and south poll and that's what keeps the protons together their attraction to the opposite polarity of the north or south poll of the neutrons ....with out the neutrons the protons wouldn't be able to stay together

Rather counter intuitively had the higgs not been discovered then a new direction in particle physics would probably now be under way.

So the finding of the higgs might actually have set some of that back!

I do have a hard time with the fact that, if so much is known, what's taking so long to convert energy into matter. A neutron must be made of a great number of positive and negative energies before it will not accept anymore (saturation point), or it would not be neutral. To claim a nucleus is made of neutron and protons ignores the fact that opposites attract, and negative electrons would be drawn into it.

[@shishkabobby]

No the theories developed by physicists don't ignore that. There are strong and weak nuclear forced that are far stronger than the electromagnetism at the short ranges encountered in the nucleus. To understand why the electrons orbit rather than are drawn into the nucleus, you need to study quantum mechanics. These issues have fascinated physicists for well over a century, it has certainly not been ignored, waiting for you to state the obvious as if it were a revelation. In fact, these very issues are discussed in some detail (but no mathematical rigor in a public presentation). Give several generations of scientists some credit :)

I do give them credit...for teaching the wrong stuff to people because people are too irresponsible to possess what is really possible. When spies brought back info on Nazi Germany's nuke program, scientists didn't have to figure out what it was, they knew. That doesn't mean responsible people should have to be fed bull and deprived of more wonders than most can imagine.

So publish your superior results and become famous. Who in particular do you think is in the vast conspiracy? As I recall, the Nazis managed to loose WWII to the Allies - with the Manhattan Project. We do know what works and it is not some secret Nazi breakthrough.

They have been published, thanks for the suggestion. When schools taught the earth was flat, if you said it was round, you failed, or worse, if you said it was flat, you passed The same with flight and obviously, the burn 'em at the stake mentality will never go away.

David Craig But that is exactly the opposite of how science works. It is religions, power elites and the fearfully superstitious that burn'em at the stake. In science, you must question everything; there are no authorities in science. How did we learn that the Earth was round? By observing the angle of the shadows at different latitudes in classical times and working out what sort of shape would produce that - sounds a lot like science to me. Science is a systematic way to evolve though.

So, can anyone tell me their best guess as to what forces are in Dark Matter and Dark Energy...Their must be more than 4 in my opinion

[@kkrr00nnicc420]

no. neutrons decay into protons, positrons, and neutrinos.

having a large Hardon Collider is a good way to get kicked out of a wrestling match.
