We have a discovery: the future of the Higgs boson

[@mrautistic2580]

Thanks, Tara Shears for stating rather bluntly the percentage mass contribution that the Higgs mechanism provides... it helps me greatly in my math to make sure I don't spend too much time down a dead end

[@michaelskywalker3089]

I love how the discussion came full circle around to the confirmation of general relativity at a Royal Soceity event when Eddington's observation of the eclipse proved light was affected by gravity.

[@mickeypigfish1440]

Fantastic! Only bug is we can see where the speaker is pointing with their laser pointer.

[@rayone6923]

The Universe IS a Sentient Life Form, which is life Life only transforms but never starts only experience does!!!!

[@williammckenna233]

I love the simplicity of this chat back… Sort of a “Quantum Physics for Dummies” lol Exceptional & Thorough breakdown.

[@fjames208]

Yes

[@maricelyrivera3043]

There is a lot of truth in the idiom, “Knowledge is power.” Knowledge truly empowers us. Knowledge helps us make informed decisions.

[@skroot7975]

I get tear eyed whenever I see Englert/Higgs at the announcement. :')

[@50kT]

Wwen the protons have struck each other and the "fragments" fly apart. What happens to the fragments? Do they just fly off into infinity until they collide with with another free sub-atomic particle of complimentary spin? Since they break off in arcs, does that show that the higgs field is exerting a force on them which causes one side to move faster than the other (causing the arc)? Also, are they affected by gravity, magnetism, static electricity or anything?

[@fjames208]

Absolutely amazing. There are perhaps 5 Higgs bossom..and another field, nature do not reveal their secrets easy👍🧙‍♂️👌🦧

[@rajatiit]

one day ill be the one to work on Applied Higgs bosology ...#Optimistic

[@petergermain]

does the electromagnetic field used to accelerate the particles have any influence on the findings ?

[@aetherseraph]

yes it does, the repulsive coercive Gauss force of the superconducting electromagnets transfer energy to the particles in the form of momentum. the electromagnets transfer energy, they are the singular vessel that imparts the necessary energy to the protons such that the collisions have enough energy that they produce these exotic particles at all. interesting anecdotal piece of info; the way particle accelerators control the magnetic fields has influenced the way electrical motors are designed. such that the hermetic compressor motors used in air conditioning are vastly more efficient. the fallout of technologies that come from big science are of significant benefit to our species.

[@irislouka3885]

Brilliant!Thank you!

[@danielssandu5578]

Wonderful speeches. It seems there are in front of us at least several decade of experimental research at LHC in Geneva. On the road is not only the Higgs boson to be studied. But also super-symmetrical particles models can be predicted and tested. Great time for science!!

[@royalsociety]

Thank you, we're pleased you found the talks as fascinating as we did.

[@steelemasterson4261]

+ShadeyBladey Shut your simple mouth and find some other lowly target in your league to mount attack against.

[@steelemasterson4261]

That was very long winded and other than your failed, poor attempts to insult me with half-witticisms, your writing was totally nonsense with zero content consistent with REALITY. Politics in the U.S. do not concern me as significant change never happens. I can tell by some of your pseudo terminologies that you are just another faceless conspiracy theorist fanatic, and that along with your deflection/projection tactics are telltale identifiers that indeed you are the one that has no formal education. Partaking in viewing conspiracy theory KZbin videos and their counterpart websites does not make you educated. Educated people do not write as poorly as you, do not perform character assassination via name calling, and certainly would never employ words that simply do not exist in the intellectual world. If you would like to have the last word, I offer it to you. I don't need it, but you do need to learn to think and problem solve logically. I actually pity you for you truly believe you know factual things. I am willing to bet that you believe vision only happens with your eyes. I do have hope for you because any human can become somewhat more intelligent tomorrow, so fear not as you are not doomed to remain as SIMPLE as you clearly are today!!! Good luck to you.

[@harryandruschak2843]

+The Royal Society I'm surprised you haven't deleted some of the more obvious spammers, like "shady"

[@yhenry77]

+ShadeyBladey utterly uneducated? Didn't you watch the video? 29 mins. They said there is an issue with Higgs Boson particle of being too heavy. On July 4, 2012, the CERN collider in Geneva discovered the Higgs Boson at 125 GeV at 5 sigma accuracy. You may say so? The bible has ALWAYS talked about multi-verses of heaven & hell, but most people ignore it. Why? lacking faith or proof? If the Higgs was discovered at 115 GeV it would indicated super symmetry without multi-verses. If the Higgs was discovered at 140 GeV, it would have indicated multi-verses only. It was right in middle, because we have both. Does this prove these multi-verses are heaven & hell, no but the possibility is there. Watch the Particle Fever (2014) movie about CERN collider, the Higgs Boson experiments and theoretical multi-verse concepts. Don't believe in multiverses? Here are quotes from Higgs Boson article from Scientific American. "However, in order for the Higgs boson to make sense with the mass (or equivalent energy) it was determined to have, the LHC needed to find a swarm of other particles, too. None turned up." Edward Witten, a string theorist at the Institute, said by email, “I would be happy personally if the multiverse interpretation is not correct, in part because it potentially limits our ability to understand the laws of physics. But none of us were consulted when the universe was created.” www.scientificamerican.com/article/new-physics-complications-lend-support-to-multiverse-hypothesis/

[@TURNKEYiNK]

I wonder if a Physicist could explain the Theory behind the Higgs Boson Particle and how it relates to the statue of Shiva? ...is this a case of Special Relativity, or “a clear invitation to the Dance”? Thanks.

[@DSC800]

I'm very skeptical. If the Higgs field/particle is responsible for mass, how could it possibly be equal throughout space? Nothing else is perfectly uniform throughout the universe, not matter (or gravity), not radiation, and the forces are not.

[@lesjohnson9740]

Wow!!, thanks all.

[@SaturnBoy33]

I feel like im having heart palpations during the collisions, I am no physicist but I know of the sacred geometry, and the 432 hz earth resonance. I have never felt better, I just wonder if I am the only one that feels this way.

[@sclogse1]

One still comes back to the mystery of why radiation travels at the speed it does. The skiing analogy was a good one, suggesting that perhaps with zero friction, radiation could travel faster than it does. Friction coming from other radiation, etc. But it doesn't explain where the heck these photons are going, and why. Also, can we observe the beginning of a photon, and watch it increase in speed to light speed, or have we only data showing photons moving at one speed in a vacuum? We know light can bend around gravitational sources, but does not change speed, as does our satellites and planetary missions that use gravity to increase speed. Is it possible to obtain a photon and observe it in a stationary position, and if not, what does this mean? Is a photon really only a description of the medium it passes through (since there's no such thing as a vacuum) and not itself?

[@rogerc7960]

That frequency can be used to particle-ise helium into vibration thrust

[@fornax333]

Does it only interact and give some particles mass during acceleration and not while moving with a constant speed?

[@genes2311]

absolutely awesome how they ridicule Higgs being popularly called as "God Particle"... LOL

[@MrKmanthie]

It's ironically hilarious how they hate calling it a "god particle", which is some oversimplification added by some layman "science" writer. I'm sure Peter Higgs & co cringe when they hear "god particle"!

[@fjames208]

And they are 5 more..perhaps anothet field so far..but it's 4 years later

[@Profit..]

I would love to get to talk to Mr. Ellis for 10 minutes! I like how he said look closely and maybe you can " Spot Mr. Higg's little secrets" this is very interesting because he is in a video called "happy at Cern" interesting enough he's at his desk wearing a sign around his neck that says Bond#1 as well as a sign that says Mandella. Barry NELSON plays Bond in that movie. He's hinting to himself as well as others at CERN being responsible for the Quantum Effect more popularly known as the "Mandella Effect" anomalies.He stated he does not believe in in time travel, they have discovered something WAY more controversial and lucrative. They have discovered how to augment reality and or merge and exploit Parallel Dimensions. Time traveling is really now in a sense obsolete, if you can splice the fabric of a timeline with alternate ones from parallel worlds.I'm glad he has no ethical issues with screwing with all of us, and how clever the term "Mandella Effect"it has Conspiracy Theorist wrtten all over it, that's why I say "Quantum Effect". I don't know how D-Wave Quantum computers come into this equation, but the CEO of the company Dr. Geordie Rose openly says they have discovered parallel universes and are trying to "exploit the resources" and this was 3 years ago. I'm not a bible thumper but this seem's like an analogy for the "The Tower of Babyl".

[@MrKmanthie]

If you're thinking of Nelson, it is spelled MANDELA: one "L".

[@justarandomdude.9285]

I love theoretical physics

[@andyli929]

They should have invited Peter Higgs to explain his theory :/ not complaining though Very insightful

[@philipgray4209]

it blows my mind knowing their are more stars and planets in the universe than their are grains of sand on earth and when i look up into the night sky it becomes plainly obvious that the universe is indeed eternally infinite going on and on in every direction for ever and ever. their are no walls or doors of any form surrounding our universe. one of my favorite ever questions i really like to ask people is how big is the earth to you and their usual response would be really big and they would be correct but then i would ask them how big is the earth compared to the entire universe and they would pause for a moment and reply really small and then i would ask them how small they would pause once again for awhile and say really really small, smaller than the point of a pin and i would say back to them smaller than an atom because where talking about the infinite universe right where size is irrelevant and then i add so earth is proof that life does exist on a atom and then i would add has anyone heard the term as above so below. see it all depends on ones perspective if your perspective is only local or even global then that type of vision is definitely gonna be different than some one whos perspective is universal so the infinitely small universe that all things are made out of are actually exactly the same as the infinitely large universe we live in and through this understanding we are able to realize what our ancestors meant when they said as above so below

[@sclogse1]

And there are more neurons in your brain than observable stars.

[@SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands]

nice video... makes me proud to be in the EU :)

[@steelemasterson4261]

+Wim V (ilGatoNero) Better check that pride you have there. The U.S. paid 1/12 the price tag and there are more than 11 countries in the EU. Again the U.S. pulls more than its own weight and the EU benefits financially more so. Its the U.S. tradition to help out Europe just like it did when rescuing Europe from not 1, but 2 world wars. If not for the U.S. you'd be speaking German if you were even in existence.

[@dickhamilton3517]

+Steele Masterson not so. you americans always forget (or deliberately neglect) the huge contribution of the soviets /russians. neither of us could have won without them.

[@steelemasterson4261]

+Dick (HEAD) Hamilton That's an assumption you've concluded based on not one fact in regards to my nationality. And you are not the moral police. I never do hear of the Russian government contributing anything to Big Science. If I were to hear such things,I would give credit where it is due. Why are you using my statement as an opportunity to attack? My statement had nothing to do with Russia. Perhaps you just don't feel important, but I don't feel bad for idiots like you. I do feel bad for Russia having to live with someone like you trying to speak on its behalf. Get a life.

[@idamistree1878]

I'm a big fan of Higgs bison, found circling a tow truck in an underground parking garage in Buffalo. Don't piss him off or he'll really mass you up!

[@maricelyrivera3043]

The whole mystery behind magic was unravelled by science. If it wouldn’t have been for scientific knowledge we would still be depending on shamans for cures. The more we learn the more we grow. Knowledge is never wasted. Somehow, someday you will put it to use. Wisdom grows on the strength of knowledge, so we must spend all our lives procuring knowledge.

[@nmarbletoe8210]

Maricely Rivera agree... but we can also learn from the shamans

[@MrKmanthie]

yeah: we can learn (from so-called "shamans") how not to dress!

[@MrKmanthie]

hudson420 exactly: "ART", not science. Not quantifiable, not repeatable in, say, lab settings. Yes, gone And not needed anymore. If it's "lost", there's no need to 'find' it unless we want to abandon all the knowledge accumulated over the past 300 years & go back to superstitious whammy junk. It's so easy for the cynical to just shove aside all the progress made by various industries including pharmaceutical companies and say it's all a big scam & one can heal oneself by hiding out in the woods, "communing" w/nature. jeez, lay off the acid for a while.

[@Thundralight]

He says beecause the universe had a beginning it can't be infinite. The internet had a beginning but where does it end? It doesn't it just keeps expanding and that is what infinity is

[@Evan_Bell]

Flawed analogy, the internet can't have an end because its dimensionless. The only way you can quantify the internet is with the amount of data that makes it up. At any given instant, the size (in bytes) of data is a finite value, but in the next instant, that value would have increased. Same goes for the universe. It has finite dimensions that are increasing.

[@Thundralight]

Yes its like what infinity is as it can't be measured and infinity can never be measured

[@Evan_Bell]

Infinity can't be measured. The size of the universe can be. Except with have the problem of the particle horizon. Right this second, the universe has measurable finite dimensions.

[@nmarbletoe8210]

Evan Bell the observable universe is finite, but we don't know how far it goes beyond past the Hubble horizon...

[@Evan_Bell]

Yup.

[@paulrenfrew6137]

What looks like empty space seems to be full of stuff .

[@MrKmanthie]

Yeah, it's called Dark Matter. It's 85% of the universe, 14% gas & 1% stars & the remainder would be the few planets that we sometimes find in other galaxies or at least in other parts of this galaxy (it's called the Milky Way, to you christians).

[@kronan7542]

+Jim Cramer "Tadokoro, M. (1968). "A Study of the Local Group by Use of the Virial Theorem". Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan 20: 230. Bibcode:1968PASJ...20..230T. This source estimates a density of 7×10−29 g/cm3 for the Local Group. An atomic mass unit is 1.66×10−24 g, for roughly 40 atoms per cubic meter." Apparently the vast majority of these outer space atoms are hydrogen.

[@jerapierce]

+Jim Cramer The real questions are: 1. Would it float around the room? 2. Could you hook wires up to it, and produce massive amounts of energy? 3. Could they bottle it and sell it here? No matter what, I am sure it would eventually generate a very lucrative income.

[@jimcramer5125]

+Jeremiah Pierce LOL!!

[@burnerjack01]

$13.5 Billion to discover the Higgs boson. Money, well, spent...

[@DSC800]

In the realm of piltdown man and cold fusion, maybe even gravity waves. Think something up, get a bunch of money, make sure to find something big to justify that money, then get more money.
