I see a lot of comments wondering about why we use the elevators instead of stairs in-case of emergencies. Reason is that the experiments are 100m underground, and climbing the stairs up for 100m is demanding even for a fit person. Therefore the lifts (and lift entrances) are positively pressurized and powered by a separated power system with multiple backups to ensure function and safety even in the most extreme emergencies. Also the lifts are specially made for CERN and ensured to function even under strong magnetic fields that are present when the detectors are "switched on". Ps. Great video :)

I love the musical instrument analogy that was used. because it happens, and for no apparent reason. With the volume so low that there should be no shared resonance, if you mic up a guitar in the same vicinity, it will begin to resonate. My friends called it proof of magic, I called it the interconnectedness of all things. Much like the "Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul".

(I love your work Physics Girl Dianna!)

[@marcusanderson9042]

I knew much of this already ( through reading threads from the depths of physics ) but its nice to finally see it explained in video for everyone to get on board to understand. This is why we need science communicators who have this sort of access. The scientists doing the work are busy, well doing the work and writing papers far out of the reach of normal people to know what it is they are doing fundamentally.

[@odw32]

"The quantum field exists even if there is no particle in it, just like how an ocean can exist even if there is no wave in it" -- Beautiful! Quantum field theory makes particle-wave duality feel so intuitive. I hope there will come a day where high school STEM teachers stop drawing little orbiting balls. I think for a lot of children QFT is actually easier to understand (the concept, not the math). Quantum mechanics sounds very scary, but I think the elegance of it makes it easier to understand than all these outdated analogies, even for young children.

[@jaimevarela5800]

Quantum field theory is quantum mechanics. You still will have to explain probability and measurement in QFT which are the big leaps one has to wrap ones head around in QM. Also I think saying "a particle is a wave function" vs "a particle is a field" are nearly equivalent to someone who hasn't been exposed to either.

[@odw32]

@@jaimevarela5800 I was taught "a particle is a little ball which orbits other ball-particles in the nucleus". The "planetarium model" of an atom made me so confused about chemistry and molecular bonds as a teenager, until a physics teacher said: "check out this stuff about probability clouds". Of course it's not about completely understanding QM, but I think we could teach kids more intuitive models if we base the analogies on QFT instead of orbiting billiard balls.

[@MikhalisBramouell]

Quantum field = Aether. Wave/particle duality is nonsense without the Double-Slit Experiment, and then you realize it's nothing but a holographic wave-collapse function...

[@ManneSegerlund]

@@MikhalisBramouell what, no. Aether theory is not the same as QFT. The classical aether theories does not work as they requires instantaneous reaction at distance. QFT is a fundamentally relativistic (special relativity to be precise) where the fields exist in space-time.

I've been to CERN when they had the Open Days. When we went down to LHCb I asked about the elevator and it's not just an elevator. It's a custom built life boat. They're quite fast so in case of an emergency you do get out of harms way in a hurry. The LHCb elevator goes down (and up) 103.4 meters in about 40 seconds. We were at CERN for both days and it's absolutely mind boggling how awesome it is.

@Lachy Rodis Greetings from the States! I don't know much about family names, genealogy and such, but I have definitely noticed that our name is *WAY* more common in the UK than elsewhere. What little I've read, I will share: The sirname "sizer" appears to have originated with either tradesman who "sized" land (i.e., surveyors) or tradesmen who "sized" cloth. The latter is more intriguing to me, since (at least) three generations of my family worked in the same textile mill (including my brother and myself). Also, our clan traces its ancestry back to a John Sizer who immigrated from England in the 1700s, married an Irish woman and fought in the American Revolution.

But since Hamburg has DESY particle physics was of interest, too. Yes, it's nice how the wave/particle dualism translates mathematically. You get a glimpse of why a particle can be interpreted as a point in spacetime and as field or wave stretching into infinity when you learn about the Dirac delta function and the Fourier transform.

The impact these magnets possess is phenomenal. Theyre responsible for the generation of additional magnetosphere geometry which has only become visible in the last decade or so since the LHC has run. Beam dump operations cause magmalayer disturbances here on the planet as well as evoke coronal mass ejections on the Sun. You can dance around observational science all you want and try and explain how physicist use these particles which honestly aren't even necessary to make this machine do what it's designed to do which is protect this planet during the pole shift and crossing.

I look forward to getting notifications that PG has uploaded a new video. It's nice seeing someone that shows so much wonder, excitement, and curiosity about the universe and it's beginning/origin. It helps me feel less alone in a world seemingly full of sportsball, negativity, and lack of reason/logic. It's nice that Dianna puts physics in terms most people can understand, but leaves in bits that can fuel the fire of curiosity to want a deeper understanding of the technical nitty-gritty. It's almost enough to make me want to quit IT, go back to finish college, and get a degree in nuclear physics.

Would you kindly guide an aspirant on the way to get there? I am a student, I just finished school. How might I achieve a feat like yours?

[@FilipeSalgueiroo]

@@ladyriddle1984 no problem, CERN has a number of different programs that you can apply to (be it as a summer student, a junior/senior fellowship) and you can see it on their site, you can also see if your school or country has any type of protocol with it. If you're from the EU it's easier to enter there
