Brighter than the Sun - Backstage Science

We take a look at a synchrotron which produces light "100 billion times brighter than the sun - really, really bright".
The Diamond Light Source is the UK's national synchrotron facility, used by academic and industry researchers.

Technical terminology 101 "Reeeely Reeeely Bright" = Will melt your head.

I want to see the light that's brighter than the sun!

[@Liqtor]

The two facilities cater to vastly different functions. But yes, the CERN accelerator is very very big.

@noxure YOU ARE AWESOME good to see I wasn't the only one who was thinking that HALF LIFE FTW

[@Dyslexic-Artist-Theory-on-Time]

Interesting video! Looks like a great place to work!

[@XenMonkey13]

Science is so AWESOME!!!! Great video! :-)

@skuller1225 just a typo... Took 4,5000 views to pick it up, but I couldn't live with it! - Brady

[@holdmybeer]

i wonder if they added the color to the doorway's after construction was done? every one kept getting lost so they had to do something about it. maybe? just a thought :D

[@ImmoSci]

@dhwani7294 the light is hot because the energy is converted when the beam passes through the optics of the detectors. Hope I helped you!

[@noxure]

Push the crystal into the beam, Dr. Freeman.

4,5000 views Brady? Another typo?

[@2szymi]

yo dawg, i heard u like backstagescience, so we uploaded backstage science video twice so u can watch backstagescience videe once and then again later

[@yakir11114]

i havent actually watched the video yet - but even a simple light bulb is brighter than the sun (when it hits the earth) if you mesure it close enaugh

Tonight We are young. So let's set the world on fire. We can burn...

Its all fun and games till the AI floods the facility with neurotoxin.
