Exploring the Higgs-Boson Particle | Dave Barney | TEDxYouth@Zurich

Dave Barney briefly describes his job at CERN, and then he explains the basics of particle physics. Dave also talks about anti-matter and dark matter, and he discusses the Higgs-Boson particle and what's still left to discover about it.
Originally from the UK, Dave joined the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN) in 1993. He helped design, build and operate the 14000-tonne CMS detector that studies collisions between sub-atomic particles provided by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). These collisions recreate the conditions of the early Universe, effectively allowing us to explore through both space and time the history of our Universe. CMS came online in 2010 and, just a couple of years later, found evidence for a new particle - the Higgs boson - that helps us understand why our Universe exists at all. After a 2-year hiatus, the LHC will restart in 2015 providing higher-energy collisions that will allow scientists to boldly explore where no scientist has gone before…. In addition to his Project Manager role at CMS, Dave has appeared on many television documentaries and has led the International Particle Physics Outreach Group, bringing the wonders of particle physics into classrooms around the world.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

things should be explained like this in simple way, thank u!!

[@jasbeerkaur9509]

Very intrrsting....physics is love

[@daylesuess552]

Qwaq

[@imranemokhtari5433]

great video. thank you for the link

[@psysword]

Awesome!

[@jamescole3524]

how come everyone only seems to care about the particle and not the waves...if the higgs field was created by massive explosions from stars supernovas exploding nuetron stars...the vibrational shockwaves intensify and begin to push everything away...please read my comment on the other ted talks about the higgs field...ironically it was something that i saw in water...i guess this could be what your calling dark matter...vibrational shockwaves that formed a 3d grid..it expands and contracts and compresses around solid objects bending light and creating a artificial gravity on a solid object like a planet or asteroid and its proportionate to that objects size or mass

Wtf happened at 10:40

This guy takes a fascinating subject and presents it like he is dosed up with valium. ...Yawn...

Simple Straightforward explanation: God! Allah says in the quran when god decrees a matter he simply says "BE! And it is" so that atom which contained our universe YES our entire universe in a single atom or a single unit, is the BE the actual command from God" Quran 21.30 Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before we clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe? Also allah says "we are expanding the universe" another question answered. Even the scientists admit we didn't need God 1 billionth of a second after the big bang.. but you did need god 1 billionth of a second before the big bang didn't you?
