ATLAS - Episode 2 -The Particles Strike Back (Part 1)

[@lepape2]

Okay, im sorry but this device is so complex beyond measure, I can't describe the awe I'm feeling right now...

[@DarkBaum]

This extract from Jupiter by Holst is also used as the melody for "I vow to thee, my country". I love it, too :)

[@wowthungsten]

On the other hand, it is much more useful to fight wars of aggression which, since we're mentioning costs anyway, would burn through the price of this magnificent device in slightly under two weeks time, causing nothing but pain and untold misery as a result. When it comes to challenging our understanding of the universe however, it costs too much money, because -you- don't understand it. DNA said: "The secret is to keep banging the rocks together". Please, do so until enlightenment ensues.

Do not boost the muon spectrometer by 105%, no matter how badly you need the extra resolution. You have been warned.

[@Mattersmatter]

well done and very informational

[@versat82]

thanks, that videos are made so great and are very interesting for me

[@cookiesonsteve]

THE JUPITER HYMN!!! I play that on the piano and the last time I've ever heard it was back in high school when I learned to play it! What is the PROBABILTY of that?

[@herenciftci]

When they hit the start button? I cant wait for see it!

[@Stano87]

I wait many years for LHC results, and now when it should work, it has troubles. Well, I wish all people working on LHC strength to overcome all dificulties. And I hope LHC will bring us results, that will revolutionize our understanding of nature, as soon as possible.

[@StefSSU]

They are trying to find the Higgs particle. The higgs particle is what gives matter mass, in other words, what makes stuff... stuff. There are many potential breakthroughs and experiments that the LHC will be capable of, but this is the main reason it was built. they are searching for the last particle to complete the Standard Model of the Universe. They have been searching for the Higgs particle for almost 50 years.

[@rezomatic]

It's pieces from "The Planets", by Gustav Holst. Just a very famous symphony suite.

[@SHAMZHAO820]

thats so cool how they use Si atoms which get positively charged from the charged particle and the Electrons released from the Si atoms form a current which tranfer to the dector:)

[@sheepwshotguns]

incredible, thank you!

[@bellinivernon]

Exelente canal ! ; gracias ,desde argentina...

[@DavidAlexandersr]

The problem is that this is an experiment, they really don't know what will happen when this machine is fully powered up. anything 100,000 times more powerful then the magnetic field of the earth can't be fully contained or stopped if they lose containment.....lets all pray they don't destroy the planet

[@StefSSU]

Star wars theme was a bit cheesy, but awesome vid! keep it up!

[@DoubleM55]

Awesome!

[@Mattnesss]

"and they think the travelling of particles after the collision will stop inside the machine? lol." No, they don't think so (have you ever considered that, y'know, scientists could actually know what they're doing?). Anyway, I have a very easy question for you. Why do you think the LHC is roughly 100m underground? I'll give you a hint: It's not for convenience.

[@Moonsprite116]

but what if those protons and neutrons will go trough the tube????

[@Account-fi1cu]

No one has commented in 9 years!

[@jameslyddall]

these guy's know what their doing dude. Were not scientists or partical physists so I know when I'm in way over my head.

[@NicknVio]

The FERMILAB is doing thesame experiment and another one larger is being built.. i'm not sureif it is this ATLAS project. Hey guys did you know that a blueprint of photon accelerator was made much earlier than our modern age.. much ealier than the birth of Quantum Physics in India.

[@AshThEpSYcHo]

soo...whats the use of this any ways?

[@fordxg]

Can some one tall me if this things working yet , I no that they had problems with it....:-)

[@REDG2074]

Amazin'!

[@farvision]

shp0ngle. Certainly clean water is important but so is gaining fundamental knowledge. Should we study how a virus is unable to grow well on a strain of bacteria, but when does grow, it can grow well from then on? How obscure can you get? But that weird little effect was the discovery of restriction enzymes, which opened up the entire field of genetic engineering leading to thousands of medical advances.

[@PsychedelicSodaCan]

wednesday GMT time 8:30 AM i think

[@GeneralAnimator]

agree!!

[@pukaman2000]

There are other things that have higher probability that black hole formation.

[@driftability]

What will mankind benefit from this experiment?.

[@pbrane]

Omg - wow!

[@diavolu28]

[@AskZch]

If there wasn't for particle physics, You would not have your shiny monitor to ask stupid questions, nor you would have mobile phone and many many other things that you probably can't imagine modern life without. So yeah it will benefit humanity, but don't think about commercial applications, they will come with time, we need more complete knowledge about universe first.

[@ShtefT]

what could posibly go wrong here :))

[@pukaman2000]

You should have been able to discover this in the first 20 seconds.

[@Ceonsamea]

Nobody has proven him to exist either. Both sides have an argument for life and gods existance, but neither has proven the other wrong, so stop being so ignorant and offensive, let people believe what they want. Besides, who said this was to disprove god anyway?

[@Bratbaticus]

If the human race manages to last until the end of the universe we might find some way to, I don't know, not die as fast.

[@coronapounder]

if we dont destroy 2/3 of our earth we have succeeded!!

[@TonyFirelli]

5:25 LMFO!!!!!!!!!!

[@Vaporifix]

Yes, let's remain willfully ignorant.
