We're really happy that so many of you have been enjoying the video. To make it even more accessible, we now have English subtitles for this!

[@beenaplumber8379]

Thanks! My hearing is bad, and lecturers who say a few words loudly and then mumble the rest of the sentence, usually where the important content is found, can be very hard to follow. It's aggravating, and I find myself having to rewind and replay a lot. I don't think they know when they are doing it, but it can ruin a good talk for people like me. Jon Butterworth has this habit, but he s far from the worst in the RI lectures.

[@gellis7975]

Thank Heavens for that! Thank you. I had begun to believe that Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle had begun manifesting itself at a linguistic level.

[@skroot7975]

Thanks for the lower intro sound

[@Inadharion]

Yes! Noticed that as well. No more irate flatmates :p

[@evanlyhus7462]

Amazing and very informative video!!!!!!!

[@zack_120]

I can tell he is an authority at LHC on particle physics. Real stuff, thanks.

[@7stringjazz1]

Wonderful and original lecture on particle physics. Love the series!

[@Kae6502]

“Do you have a map of the cat?” ... quote from my favorite book. :)

[@martinwhitaker5096]

I've watched so many talks and TV programs about the LHC and particle physics, yet this is the first one that (at around 21:00) related energies put in to the probability of outcomes in such a clear way! Thank you Jon!

[@imranqasim3160]

Interested presentation to understand dept of particles physic.

[@i.m.gurney]

A great accessible overview.

[@007Hurst]

Awesome lecture love the channel thanks for the share

[@benike7637]

[@waylonwhite694]

Awesome lecture

[@jdad8726]

Great work I love history

[@HermannScheuber]

What for criteria for the nice Islands of particles? I think, the bests would be the just normal 3D (spin, strangeness, charge) & 1/2 spin for Quarks & Leptons 1spin circle for Bosons on the different charge plains (-1, -3/2, - 1/3, 0, 1/3, 2/3, +1 e ) im without fantastic imagination.

[@Debilitator47]

Love this channel. Been binging instead of sleeping. My job seems not to have noticed. Not sure what that says about me. O_o

[@TheRoyalInstitution]

Aw shucks, glad you're enjoying it! But we definitely can't condone not sleeping, take it from this panel - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWG4q6xpatp9sLc We also have a podcast, if you'd like to listen to talks while getting to work or just hanging about - soundcloud.com/royal-institution/sets/ri-science-podcast

[@jasonverrastro1709]

If speed effects mass, and an increase in mass equates to an increase of gravity, would an increase in speed (like on the outer edge of a galaxy) cause enough gravity to hold the galaxy together.

[@dylanedwards5348]

yes

[@jordiewalters871]

Just incase you didn't know or haven't seen it Smashing Physics is also a great watch

[@TheRoyalInstitution]

Yes, good shout! We'll pop the link into the description - kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3-Xq6B7jp6clbc

[@jordiewalters871]

Any more Suzie discourses on the way?😊

[@TheRoyalInstitution]

We love working with Suzie, so we've passed your request on to the Public Programmes team

[@jordiewalters871]

WOW😌 thank you very much, Suzie is Awesome, my absolute favorite, thanks again!

[@eupraxis1]

The Higgs boson doesn't affect mass, the Higgs field does.

[@TechyBen]

But for shorthand, is the excitation of the field not also the particle?

[@froop2393]

Cern has brought us the www. I think we need very small tax on the www to give cern the possibility to continue its success...

[@mikakorhonen5715]

Communism!

[@ChrisOakesCO]

You mean you believe their telling the truth about what their really doing! Lol

[@shqiponjebresa7140]

If a ball that weighs 10kg is falling from a 10m height, what is the kinetic energy of the ball, 4m before it hits the ground? I really need help with this. Can’t seem to find a formula and tomorrow I have a test.

[@MrHippyHippo]

ok, if this is high school kinematics I'm a bit rusty. So, V-squared = U-squared+2as, use that to find a velocity at U=0 and S=6m, then use Ek=0.5mvsquared

[@MrHippyHippo]

Or since its falling V=9.81m/s, I cant really remember

[@danwilkening6931]

The kinetic energy of the ball is the energy that it possesses by virtue of being in motion.

[@cordlefhrichter1520]

Interesting way of attacking physics homework. Just go to a random physics video and comment the question, lol.

[@shqiponjebresa7140]

Ek=Ep Ek=mgh Ek=mg(h1-h2) Thank you all for your help. This was the formula😁

[@buffalotheory504]

I commend theoretical physicists and all physicists, but I genuinely believe you guys may be looking in the wrong place for answers. Everything you have found is partial understanding and they all break down at their fundemental levels. You guys may have to first unlock access to the higher dimensions to get further. Something which may never happen as our physical bodies and consciousness of mind only allows 4 dimensions of interaction. For all you know the Mayans and Egyptians etc had access to and knew more than we could ever know. For now I'ma enjoy Interstellar and dream dreams. Good luck!

[@ChrisOakesCO]

Awesome! I agree with you and not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but believe some are aware of this and playing a game with people hiding the truth. I suspect if someone came fwd to tell what's really happening they would get their funding cut off an put in jail for some excuse or have an accident an be wiped out. Just as happened with others who come up with technology or cures to disease.

[@gnil4314]

Brutal presentation, both in layout plan and delivery! I'd say general audience lost after about 15 mins...

[@rknower]

No one disputes that there are particles that are created by splitting apart Protons, but, are they building blocks of the Proton? No! They are fission Particles and are not evolutionary. They are splinter configurations of an evolutionary configuration that produced the Proton.

[@cordlefhrichter1520]

Interesting. What makes you so certain?

[@rknower]

All will be clear if you have the time to consider "The Logical Universe Theory" at, logicalniverse.com

[@robertmoorehead-lane7968]

What a load of rubbish - your definition of fission particles is the same as saying hydrogen and oxygen are fission elements of water, all elements that are made up of others that are not stable are therefore fission element and cant exist in their own which destroys all the unstable elements in the universe and therefore your logical theory falls apart. Equally the compressed neutrino vs fission neutrino, how do you tell the difference and how can you prove one over the other. You can't - another failure of this crazy idea. Basically copying other peoples work and trying to find a lazy way tro make yourself seem clever instead of the true scientific approach which is to admit that some things don't work and that we have work to do. Lazy way of trying to grab some of the glory of the true scientific greats of the last 100years. Sites like yours should be categorized along with the flat earth society in the fiction section of the internet.

[@ChrisOakesCO]

You can't create or destroy anything, only change things from one form to another.

[@alangarland8571]

Can I have an LHC daddy, please please please.

[@fractalnomics]

What is missing on his map is how trace molecules CO2 and CH4 are causing global warming and are drowning those islands. These trace gases are said to heat the atmosphere by conduction (after being radiated); but air is a very very poor thermal conductor. These trace gases are also said to be the only gases to emit and absorb IR radiation; N2 and O2 (99% of the dry atmosphere) do not, at any temperature. That N2 and O2 do not emit and absorb is a contradiction to quantum mechanics (not to mention thermodynamics) as all matter radiates above absolute 0 Kelvin. Something is wrong, and it is not me. This is the state of physics and all science today.

[@davidchou1675]

My gracious gluons but WTF is this halting and subdued manner of speech so popular of British academics in general where twelve half-swallowed sentences are preferred when one would do???

[@reddragon2335]

Turtles all the way down. Need a real particle accelerator soon. LHC is for pansies.

[@joshuaentwistle960]

I like Jon Butterworth, but he always seems a little dour. I often wonder if that means he's actually blisteringly witty... or just dour.

[@qbarnes1893]

Nice content but boring delivery...

[@claredrew8039]

Shame. I like this content but he doesn't speak clearly.

[@ParalysedGekko]

Confusing topic hopping, told way too complicated and uninspiring, a real pain to watch. It's by far the worst lecture on this channel, that usually does maintain an enormous quality.
