Did Brian Cox Spill Yoghurt in the Hadron Collider? | Would I Lie To You?

[@emesehajdu2494]

So, in layman's terms, is it a wire? 😂... I'm not saying it's not a brilliant wire. 😂😂

[@Intellllect]

When Brian was asked "What flavor was the yoghurt", I hoped he would answer ""Charm"

[@statman64]

"It was actually quite strange"

[@scootergrant8683]

I was hoping, "One of those corner Müller ones."

[@holmbjerg]

The 3 months really made it sound unbelievable.

[@msmyrk]

I suspect that in his mind, it might have been the most realistic answer he could give. It could well be how long it would take the section out for if they actually had to replace one of the superconducting wires he's talking about (by the time they warm things up, replace it, cool it down, re-test, etc). I seem to recall every minor issue delayed the project by months while they were trying to run their first experiments.

[@Sonnell]

@@msmyrk True. 3 months would be realistic, but he forgot that for the general public that real answer would sound unbelievable :)

[@FloraWest]

Interesting! That's what I found the most convincing. The part I didn't believe is that food would be allowed anywhere in the construction zone.

[@reznovvazileski3193]

It could've been. The kind of equipment they have to work with there is custom made with rediculously tight specifications. Not to mention order approvals take long when 2 managers have to agree on them, let alone the 23 member states that are involved with the project today :p

[@reznovvazileski3193]

@@FloraWest This here. :') I'd be reprimanded eating or drinking in the very hallway the labs were located in going for my engineering degree. Getting any substance inside the functional parts of the machine is unheard of.

[@Pebble_Collector]

[@reznovvazileski3193]

If he'd be able to get yogurt inside the building, much less inside the functional part of the machine... That'd be majorly conCERNing.

[@BlueCosmology]

You can take food and drink in the tunnels without issue. In fact there was a famous case when LEP was having issues because of a beer bottle.

[@Mallchad]

@@BlueCosmology I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it actually happened. The part where it fell apart was when he started saying it was closed for 3 months, fried the machine and had smoke blow up in his face :P . Not really believable or likely given how things are built. Though I suspect he intentionally started being silly by then

[@dngrouscrgo]

It was going so well until the part where he made himself out to be a mad scientist in an 80s sci fi movie 😂

[@tikaalik]

“Science is great, but this thing needs some culture.”

[@i-am-linja]

Even before tapping the video, I knew it was a lie. Regardless of whether food is _allowed_ near the tunnel or not (it definitely is not), Brian would _never_ be that reckless.

[@Spud607]

I so badly wanted that to be true 😂😂

[@teatree84]

That was a superb lie... I can usually tell but he is indeed a good liar

[@hninzilwin3288]

I knew it was a lie. Scientists don’t do that and David was right if it was true he’d be so damaged he wouldn’t talk about it

[@zorakj]

I was so relieved it was a lie.

[@cxvxcbcxn]

3 months was too much professor...if he'd say 1 week for example I would totally believe it!

[@xergiok2322]

3 months was probably more realistic. The unbelievable part was the premise itself. Of course they wouldn't allow people walking around eating yogurt in the collider.

[@rubenkeller5543]

I knew it was a lie when he said 4 months. If that were true, that news would have defenitely come up in some of my insta or KZbin tweets 😅

Same. I would know very well if the LHC was decomissioned by yoghurt :P

[@Descriptor413]

I work at a major particle accelerator, and could tell it was a lie from a mile off. There's no way they would let anyone anywhere near the machine while it's on, let alone with food. The technical details were pretty on point, though. Naturally, he was trying to obfuscate the lie with real knowledge of the accelerator.

[@panda4247]

why? yes, it's not an 1/8 of 27km he mentioned later, but it might have been the section he was working on. I think the 3 months were a bit far-fetched (there certainly might be cases where a certain part would take that long to replace, but if it was a lie and he wanted to fool the laymen from the other team, perhaps some 2 days, or a week max would have been safer choice)
