Professor Brian Cox On The "God Particle" | CONAN on TBS

[@lauradunshea6382]

The way he smiles while he talks is just so sweet. It just makes you warm to him.

[@mikedoesvoices525]

Brian Cox is the epitome of ASMR. The dude can literally make you feel so relaxed as he explains the most complicated things.

[@hanginwithus5101]

Dude Brian cox is a gift , the man is genius and is fully capable of relating it to the masses . Was also a keyboard rock star look up dare from the 80s , the bo jackson of particle physics

[@karlhinze]

Bizarre that you mention Dare rather than the fact he had a no 1 hit with D:Ream.

[@billyeveryteen7328]

A wonderful coincidence, if you can call it that, is that he had the opposite trajectory of another musician/astronomer named Brian, that of Brian May, founder and lead guitarist for Queen. Brian May left his PhD program to become a musician full time, and didn't return to get his doctorate in astrophysics until relatively recently.

[@mastod0n1]

It would distribute mass too evenly as if modeled by an inflating balloon or a dandelion gone to seed. Inflation was more like condensation. A cloud of vapor condenses raindrops which by comparison make the cloud seem huge. We call the raindrops "aggregate particles of mass" because they snuggle; they set the standard of measure.

[@SPOOKY_PENGUIN_YouTube]

Yes. He's often now saying 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe. So there could be a lot more.

[@mastod0n1]

We can't actually count all the galaxies individually so we see about how much there are in a small patch of sky and extrapolate that number out to the scale of the observable universe. One problem we've had is that the Milky Way blocks our view of a decent chunk of the universe so as our technology gets better and we devise clever ways to get around that problem we can start seeing more of the universe and updating our theories and estimates.

That would be nice indeed. However, I wonder if there aren’t physiological barriers. For example, I would love to run as fast as Usain Bolt, but my body just isn’t built the same.

And that’s nothing to say about all the traumatic brain injuries and how that affects one cognition. But I’m kind of in line with Christopher Hitchens; that would be a boring world!!

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

Still waiting for him to explain what the Higgs particle is.

[@GlassesAndCoffeeMugs]

He did, he just explained it quickly: Higgs makes objects that have mass move like molasses through spacetime. Anything that does not travel at C (the speed of light) is affected by the Higgs field and thus has a speed slower than C. Objects that move at C, like light waves and gravity waves, are unaffected by the Higgs field

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@GlassesAndCoffeeMugs Okay, but how does that make it the God particle??

[@GlassesAndCoffeeMugs]

@@Cosmo-Kramer "God particle" is just a name, not the actual thing. But I suppose without the Higgs field everything would be massless and travel at C and therefore time wouldn't exist because time requires spacetime to be warped due to the presence of mass. So in other words without the Higgs boson the big bang and the heat death of the universe would be the same moment, but Higgs makes stuff happen in between those events

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@GlassesAndCoffeeMugs Well, the HB may be essential to the existence of everything we know and can see/detect, but it is not unique in that way. We, and all we know/see/detect, would not exist were it not for gravity. "God Particle" is a bad name, a transparent attempt by scientists to diminish the belief in the existence of a creator.

[@GlassesAndCoffeeMugs]

@@Cosmo-Kramer Higgs is responsible for gravity. Objects with mass warp spacetime to produce the effect known as gravity. Higgs is responsible for giving objects mass. There are leading religious figures in the Vatican church for example who are very invested in science and don't see it as undermining the existence of a creator whatsoever
