Beyond Higgs: The Wild Frontier of Particle Physics ,World Science Festival

Beyond Higgs: The Wild Frontier of Particle Physics 1,102,354 viewsPremiered Apr 10, 2020 1.04M subscribers On July 4, 2012 the champagne flowed. The elusive Higgs boson—the fundamental particle that gives mass to all other particles—had been found. After generations of work, the last puzzle piece was in place and the Standard Model of particle physics was complete. So, what’s next? What is the road map that will guide physicists to the next triumphs, from identifying dark matter to quantizing gravity, and perhaps providing insight into the deepest question of all—why is there something rather than nothing? What theories will light the way? What machines will we need to build to tether progress to reality? Join a renowned group of physicists to explore how we leapfrog forward from success. This program is part of the BIG IDEAS SERIES, made possible with support from the JOHN TEMPLETON FOUNDATION.

BrokenSymetry BrokenSymetry 1 year ago I love the energy of trese people, they're so passionate about what they do. And Brian Green is very good at bringing out that passion in their explanations 125 Astalthæon Astalthæon 1 year ago As Brian is saying early on, often the prediction or theory is made a long while before it is observed. At the mention of Einstein and the 1915/1919 bit, I chuckled; Einstein also put to paper the notion of a laser, the math and physics behind one. It took about 40 years more before the first actual laser was built. 15 BaKuDo BaKuDo 1 year ago The passion that comes through these guys especially Nima is totally infectious, it really makes me feel thrilled in anticipation about what the next 10, 20, 30 years of exploration will bring us. 84 Freddy Atton Freddy Atton 6 months ago That was an exciting conversation. I literally had (and still have), tears streaming down my face. At 57 years old, I'm just now starting to study physics / cosmology. It won't replace music (I'm currently studying piano), but when I can't sleep, I now watch these science shows instead of smoking weed. 9 just kidding just kidding 1 year ago Watched the entire talk, that was absolutely an amazing panel to listen to and learn from. Bravo! 19 aksampson68 aksampson68 2 years ago Was fortunate enough to be vacationing in New York and was able to attend this lecture. Such a great panel and a great experience. Thanks for posting WSF! 72 catsarehigh247 catsarehigh247 1 year ago An absolutely beautiful discussion. Nima was exceptional in his explanations. The awe of discovery, the natural world and the wonder of it all is quite oddly fulfilling despite so much it it being an unknown. All of the World Science Festival discussions are awesome. Brian is a very good speaker, has a natural knack. Please never stop doing these discussions. 51 GodFreeCharlie Franz GodFreeCharlie Franz 1 year ago Fascinating chat. I just am so intrigued by particle physics. Love it. The participants assembled here couldn't have been a better choice. They are gifted in their work and their ability to explain their work. Some of these festival videos are too short. I wanna listen to them all night. 6 Jeremy Jeremy 1 year ago Brian, great job and many thanks in presenting the public knowledge in this scientific forum. 6 anybody nobody anybody nobody 1 year ago could you imagine how drastically different life would be for us and every species near us if we understood reality as our bodies processed it rather than the limited realm of perception that we are in now 10 78tag 78tag 1 year ago (edited) I repeat as I do every time I watch a discussion headed by Brian Greene - He always keeps the topic flowing with his innate ability to sit back and let his guests talk about their particular knowledge of a subject (in their lingo) and then interpret it for all of us as if he were reading the morning newspaper over a cup of coffee. The best mediator you are ever going to find. 142 Miramarensis Miramarensis 1 year ago After having watched this show for a fifth time, I still think it's, arguably, the best hour and a half you can spend at home in front of a computer screen. 113 Brother Mine Brother Mine 2 years ago I believe the discussion of the initial rejection of Higgs' paper is revisionist history. The paper wasn't rejected because it was "too wild." It was rejected because it was the fashion among the physics community to describe perturbations of quantum fields as "particles" and Higgs' paper was only in terms of the new field. He was explicitly told that the paper had been rejected because he hadn't mentioned a particle, so he added a paragraph that mentioned a particle and resubmitted the paper, and it was then approved for publication. But strictly speaking, particles are unnecessary and are misleading mental baggage from the early days of physics, and Higgs knew that. Fields are all that's needed, so lets apply Occam's razor and stop talking about particles. 21 Ramesh Kumar Maskey Ramesh Kumar Maskey 11 months ago After listening interestingly, the discussion for almost one and a half hour, finally Nima’s down-to-earth comments on preparing for reaching the tip of Mount Everest opened my eyes to how fantastic it would be to study the fundamentals ingredients of ourselves. I appreciate the professional views of scientists Monica and Joa. Fabulous! Being a civil engineer, I rather understood the building of colossal collider and was equally curious about the Higgs particle. I am happy that I have been to CERN in 2017. It made me easy to listen to your discussion. I cannot stop listening more and more to the dialogues moderated by Brian. Thank you so much. 1 Joe Ruter Joe Ruter 2 years ago This was one of the best WSF to date in my opinion. The standard model was exquisitely explained for laymen like me to easily understand on a basic enough level for me to have the confidence to explain it to others 35 Frank Frank 1 year ago Thank you a lot for bringing this very(!) interesting information, in such a fun and easy to understand way! Great! Keep on going guys ;-) 1 F Utube F Utube 1 year ago (edited) That woman is a hard worker, I’ve seen her role at CERN and it is very taxing work requiring unending dedication. All the panelists present are just as dedicated and dare I say, very enthusiastic. 47 123bbryant 123bbryant 1 year ago (edited) It's wonderful to see these physicists together in this format. I watched Particle Fever dozens of times 10 Sophia Tran Sophia Tran 1 year ago Some thoughts: 1. This may be the greatest panel discussion on physics that I have ever heard. 2. You can tell that Nima Arkani-Hamed has an incredible grasp of these issues because he has not only facts at his disposal, but a narrative involving those facts. 3. The distance between the quality of our science and the quality of our politics is at this moment, heartbreaking. 4. Brian Greene has shown once again how important it is that a discussion about theoretical physics be moderated by a theoretical physicist. 1 Michael Khalsa Michael Khalsa 2 years ago Loved watching this, thank you! So many opportunities to think and more importantly work in the space of thoughtless thought to bring forth cognition into meaningful insight. I feel that a fundamental deepening of what space is can reveal the hidden dynamics; and new ways of interconnection. What happens if we look at every point in space-time as a virtual singularity, a virtual black hole if you will. How is one point different than another. Can two distinct points be the same point within one viewpoint and not another. Can world's open into a world creating the world, through a deeper understanding of what space is? Thanks again. 2 David AE Levy David AE Levy 1 year ago Watched the entire talk, that was absolutely an amazing panel to listen to and learn from. Bravo! 12 Maria T. Lymberis Maria T. Lymberis 1 year ago Thank you for this very stimulating seminar. All of your panel members were excellent. I am a psychoanalyst/psychiatrist and it is very exciting to see all of these brilliant minds working constructively during this major transition time culturally in human society where structural changes are occurring that result in serious mental health consequences impacting the functional integrity of individual humans of ALL ages. YES, all knowledge is the product of our brain meaning of the human BODY as a the brain mediates all human functions. The Hellenic saying translated into: "A Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body" remains the key. Grateful that the Covit-19 made it possible for me to have the time to see a lot of the great work of the WSF on YouTube, instead of driving in traffic...MTL 2 Swagat Saurav Mishra Swagat Saurav Mishra 1 year ago That was a Great Conversation. As a student I had seen Nima and Joseph in the documentary 'Elegant Universe' based on Brian's book. I had seen Monica and Nima in 'Particle fever' which was based on Higgs discovery. Now as a physicist and Cosmologist, I am looking forward to work on some of these big problems and help the field move forward. Absolutely Brilliant video this was and great insights by Nima. Thanks to World Science Festival. 7 Bill McGubbins Bill McGubbins 1 year ago I am very much an analytically/scientific type, and for the most part, I understand and agree with pretty much all scientific theory put forward that predicts nature. It's fascinating! But i have to admit, I find particle physics and the experiments conducted ar the LHC to be very difficult to believe in. It is the total OPPOSITE of elegant. In fact, it seems to me more like a bad trading card game. And smashing atoms together in order to "see" and identify the chunks also just seems so unscientific and well, like a massive waste. Check out Ken Wheeler's channel, Theoria Apophasis. His theory makes a lot more sense than leptons and fermions and bosons and down spin orcs and trolls and up spin wizards. It bothers me how physicists act like all this has been observed and not calculated. 2 wanderkünstler wanderkünstler 1 year ago (edited) Min 46:30 Nima is absolutely brilliant in his explanation of why the Higgs is a big deal. I think he means "extrapolate" and not "interpolate" massive particles into massless ones, though. He is also excellent at 1:12:00 about the Higgs being or not being point-like. Very exciting. Let's build the 100-Tev! Paul Lucido Paul Lucido 1 year ago Brian Green is a great orator as well as an ambassador of quantum theory and string theory of our time. Tremendous respect for his brilliance. 3 Antonio Herman Antonio Herman 1 year ago it was extraordinary! really enjoyed the discussion! 6 RC crazy RC crazy 2 years ago I wonder🤔 could it be possible that when the LHC creates a higs particle, then annihilates to its many possible pair particles, the super particles yet to be discovered/observed are actually part of or entangled with the higs, and that's what could determines the different pair particles observed? But because the detectors aren't looking for them we just can't observe them? Afshin Ommi Afshin Ommi 1 year ago Wow what a moderator!!! Brian was out of this world good!! What an amazing group of people to be on stage together! Everything was to the point! Thanks 🙏🏼 6 jacksonkenny1 jacksonkenny1 2 years ago Remarkable. One of the best WSF presentations I’ve seen over the years. 5 C.J. McELEAVY C.J. McELEAVY 2 years ago (edited) Climb every mountain! Engaging, enlightening and energetic conservation about a topic that is so important and ground breaking that it will be robustly discussed for decades to come.Sit back, take a couple of deep breaths and enjoy this ride with some of the most talented humans on planet Earth. Thanks as always to WSF and Mr Green. 8 Angel Angel 1 year ago First time learning about Nima Arkani. I really appreciate him going out of his way and explaining the Bossom and other particles in such great detail. I'm barely begging my journey into the study if physics and he was able too grab my attention which is not an easy thing to do. I hope I can meet him one day and pick his brain. 3 Craig Wall Craig Wall 1 year ago I love seeing physicists eaten up with experimental angst. It means they have integrity. 13 NUKE NUKE 2 years ago This was one of the best talks ever! And I believe it is a good thing that things are not coming along exactly how we expect them cuz it could be that a true revolution is right around the corner! 22 SURESH OAK SURESH OAK 2 years ago Great presentation by Brian Greene, concise and mind boggling. Nima Arkani Hamed was amazing, Joe Lykken and Monica Dunford as well extremely impressive in their inputs. I wonder about the source of "intellegence" that drives all these minds! 9 E. A. Llewellyn E. A. Llewellyn 10 months ago Monica Dunford is a fantastic teacher! She can explain enough to keep the students' mind engaged, and not so much to overwhelm. 2 Paul Lucido Paul Lucido 1 year ago This is a great conversation. All four are very articulate physicists. 1 Srikanth Raju Srikanth Raju 2 years ago Did anyone understand the part about "catching up" with W/Z bosons around 25:30 as opposed to that not being possible with photons due to speed of light? I always thought spin was always only in one of two directions - but apparently W/Z bosons can have spin in 3 directions? Dr10Jeeps Dr10Jeeps 2 years ago Brian's WSF is always interesting, always fascinating, and always informative. You can't ask for more than that. 16 Lavish Leaf Lavish Leaf 2 years ago I Literally have to go to sleep listening to Neil Degrasse Tyson or Brian Greene every night been doing this 10 years straight. Particles physics and Astrophysics, space period is the most interesting thing to me. Out this world ‼️ 365 Kayla Sosa Kayla Sosa 1 year ago I was there, in the audience for this. Absolutely thrilling! 44 Eric Hodge Eric Hodge 2 years ago Some thoughts: 1. This may be the greatest panel discussion on physics that I have ever heard. 2. You can tell that Nima Arkani-Hamed has an incredible grasp of these issues because he has not only facts at his disposal, but a narrative involving those facts. 3. The distance between the quality of our science and the quality of our politics is at this moment, heartbreaking. 4. Brian Greene has shown once again how important it is that a discussion about theoretical physics be moderated by a theoretical physicist. 114 Phdintheory Phdintheory 2 years ago Being able to actually "view" duality is pretty cool when you get to observe it. 8 quinn quinn 1 year ago 8:48 Democritus isn't overcredited at all, because he fully deserves his credit. He reached this hypothesis by logic and rational arguments, which is a must if someone wants to be called a scientist. The "atomon" he perceived as the fundamental non-divisible particle that all matter consists of, is actually the quark. That he was this accurate thousands of years ago, should make us appreciate his mind's creativity and vision, and not minimize his contribution to science. 7 Maximiliano Drelewicz Maximiliano Drelewicz 2 years ago Simplemente excelente :). Cuando hay un presentador que es físico se disfruta mucho más de la charla y en especial cuando dejan hablar a los invitados todo lo que ellos quieran. 1 Mobs A Mobs A 5 months ago In order to interact with the Higgs particle, some physicists believe that a particle needs to have the capacity to carry and transiently share a weak hyper charge (W+ boson) with the Higgs field. All fermions and some bosons can do this and therefore develop mass. Photons cannot do this and therefore are massless. Mark Radcliff Mark Radcliff 3 months ago It's like one on one education. Excellent source of user friendly information. Thank You Brian Greene. Iain Iain 2 years ago A fantastic discussion. Captured the reality to date accurately and highlighted the problems and hopes going forward. The standard model has been proven but string theory is being slowly squeezed out of the picture. The energy level of the sparticles, if they do exist no longer fit the string theory and physicists would have to come up with a new theory. For me the key question is what the 'information' aspect of quantum fields really is. We find as we study every aspect of science that there is information in everything - the origin of the universe, of life, of epigenetics, of consciousness, etc. that the original materialist worldview is faint to answer. As such more and more scientists are wondering about this need of information and given the material world is now known to be an emergent construct from Quantum fields I believe a better understanding of this quantum information would provide the answers or at least the leads we seek. SmegInThePants SmegInThePants 3 months ago Nima's enthusiasm that he seems to have in most of his talks is just contagious. brent y joseph brent y joseph 1 year ago could you imagine how drastically different life would be for us and every species near us if we understood reality as our bodies processed it rather than the limited realm of perception that we are in now 2 the deeliciousplum the deeliciousplum 2 years ago Thank you WSF and to Brian Greene for hosting this event. These three panellists are inspiring. I would have loved to have listened equally to Monica and to Joe. Nima is wonderful, yet he does like to take up a chunk of valuable discussion time. I can always find their talks and writings online and to explore. Thank you again. 🌸 cahenglish cahenglish 1 year ago Brian Greene is my all-time favorite physics communicator/educator! 32 Andrew Yanke Andrew Yanke 7 months ago Brian Green is like the honest, reasonable, inverse version of William Lane Craig. I'd bet you can test both them in a lab and prove super symmetry without a single tunnel boring machine. brbuche brbuche 2 years ago Fantastic video. 2 questions immediately come to mind. 1. Since a certain amount of time passed before the Higgs Field turned on, could that transition time be the reason all the supermassive black holes formed? Matter was concentrated in a very small volume of spacetime and when it's gravitational mass was determined by the Higgs Field turning on, it immediately collapsed into supermassive black holes because it was so concentrated at that moment? 2. This could also explain why the speed of light is so slow, the energy in E = mc squared is clearly proportional to mass which is clearly proportional to the Higgs field. E = Higgs *c squared, Thanks for all that information. Christopher Brown Christopher Brown 3 months ago its amazing how intelligent and logical these people are in their approach a good lesson for all disciplines 3dgar 7eandro 3dgar 7eandro 2 months ago (edited) Really really enjoy this physics talks, the humor and the positivism, and over the relentless need of humans for understanding the apparent simplicity of something as complex and beautiful as our universe. 😌👏👌👌👌 I only wish more people were driven into this fascinating topics and no into superficial matters. Maybe that we would have discovered what is time, what really is the Higgs fields and why it works that way??? Deep Recce Deep Recce 2 years ago Very Very Very Good discussion, and in no small ways its because of how Prof Greene moderated the discussion!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 6 Len Filomeo Len Filomeo 2 years ago Where does the energy come from to make the more massive particles that would potentially result from a change in the value of the Higgs Field? 7 Marcus Marcus 4 months ago Wow. Doctor thank you so much. I was watching a documentary. Then fell asleep. This video came on. And in my dream you were at my house around the dinner table doing the lecture. Kind of a round table discussion and physics talk. I was right there in it. Plus all the guests and other students. What a dream. There were props and back and forth discussion. Explanations. Gosh. Loved it. Went all the way thru this docu video and into the next one. A Q&A discussion with you also. Thanks. Now I'm going back and watching both while fully awake on coffee. What a trip, "the implaton field!" Wut.... 1 MissFeliss MissFeliss 10 months ago Brian is such a genius.. He's a rare one 1 Rhonda Weiss Rhonda Weiss 2 years ago I was there, in the audience for this. Absolutely thrilling! 198 Ecology Ecology 7 months ago (edited) What happens to a particles when smashed into another particle if there's quantum entanglement What happens to the entangled particle that's left alone. Also if particles are entangled and one of the particles meets antimatter what happens to the other particle that's entangled that doesn't need antimatter? Marcus Marcus 4 months ago Questions: 1. Does the Higgs have one mass value? Or many different values across space. 2. How does the Higgs impart different mass values to different particles? 3. How does the photon zip thru space and not interact with the Higgs field? Seppo Koivula Seppo Koivula 2 years ago (edited) What I have wondered about large hadron collider, is that how in earth they could clean the colliding area of all tiny particles, so that they could collide only the ones they want?? It's somewhat unbelievable, because even in vacuum, elementary particles pops in and out of existence. And that, how those protons hit each other, and not just miss each other...? Robert England Robert England 6 months ago The incredible, intricate complexities of our universe, and the force that holds it all together, when things tend to fly apart, makes one want to believe in a higher power. HENRY BARTLETT HENRY BARTLETT 4 months ago Thrilling and magical. What an amazing presentation and wonderfully chaired. The TinkerMan The TinkerMan 1 year ago I love absorbing all this new knowledge! 5 Grant Richardson Grant Richardson 1 year ago Imagine being Higgs right there. All of that work finding out how the UNIVERSE works, and you were right. 2 Habs Fan Habs Fan 10 months ago (edited) I love the very first part he discussed about science was about replicating the predictions...meanwhile we barely do that now and have a massive replication crisis going on with all this so called 'settled science' being thrown around all over our social media and in our media.. it's been replaced with this general "trust the science" moniker. Vine Street Vine Street 2 years ago Are these particles these discrete units as depicted? I would imagine that these particles have different characteristics and parameters that have to be measured with different instruments. Some are more like waves and others are more like matter. How can you measure all of these different types of particles with characteristics changing dynamically over short periods of time with a single machine? How many measuring instruments are there? Please spend more time explaining how you get comfortable with measurement errors in the world of such small numbers. concernedspectator concernedspectator 1 year ago I feel so lucky to hear about these things, so grateful for these generous and curious and devoted people. 2 E-Nonymouse E-Nonymouse 1 year ago Physicists, particularly those in cutting edge stuff are more like the painters in the renessaince, it's rare that their ideas are fully appreciated by the general public let alone see their ideas become reality in their own lifetime. 2 Archer Archer 1 year ago Youtube is a universe and finding this channel was my greatest discovery. 35 D O D O 2 years ago Great channel! Brian Greene is amassing! 2 Edward Martin Edward Martin 1 year ago I think at some point in particle physics it's properties will be confine at a point (the limit of our perception), not a particle because we can not classify it as such. Daniel Ash Daniel Ash 1 year ago From the beginning of time when we first started looking up to looking down on the earth we wanted a conclusive explanation of how we would be able to make a difference between the ages of our society and our society has become so important in making sure we strive for a better future. Arun Joseph Arun Joseph 1 year ago I think there are many of us thinking we are the only ones interested in these videos because people around us dont seem to be interested in it at all. I think we should make a group we can chat about these things together and share great videos like these. Thanks to the collective knowledge of humanity's thinkers we are here able to listen to these facts and get inspired with awe and wonder K P K P 3 months ago Sensational discussion. Raised to its finest with exemplary facilitation by none other than... Mr. Gluon 😇 j jenko j jenko 2 years ago Wow beyond interesting. Some of these wasn’t even thought in my science class as they weren’t discovered yet. 3 Vladimir Kozhukalov Vladimir Kozhukalov 8 months ago When you talk about the Higgs field and give an example like that with your hand moving through the Higgs field people might think that the mass of your hand is totally related to the interaction with the Higgs field. But this is not the case. The majority of mass of your hand is related to the interaction between quarks and gluons. Remember the mass of the proton is ~1GeV and it consists of 3 quarks which are only about few MeV. The mass of a quark is due to Higgs field, but the mass of a proton is almost totally due to strong interaction between quarks. 1 Generic Girl Generic Girl 2 years ago Its always a treat to see Mr. Green. Mr. Arkani-Hamed , I heard him for the first time & dang this man is a genius. 24 Down The Rabbit Hole Down The Rabbit Hole 1 year ago (edited) I can't help thinking about, as a bachelor with no kids, what you see of Peter Higgs' emotional reaction here, in a physics research presentation. On July 4th, 2012, the confirmation of the existence of the "Higgs' field". A field suffusing space, from which they knocked out a particle after 48 years of intense applied physics research and experimentation. For my part, It looks no different from a new Dad at the moment of birth of his first daughter, or his first son. There's *only one* 'first time' for any occasion... 5:33 1 Richard Masters Richard Masters 1 year ago Great discussion - I hope that they will find something ‘deeply conceptually new’, but they might not, and where will we go then? 1 Avadhut D Avadhut D 2 years ago (edited) Hi Brain it is always inserting and fascinating to hear u. U always mention supersymmetry and extra dimensions in ur talk. But if u see theorotical physics history, Scientists specifically mention that do this experiment with some equipment and in certain environment if you find certain data that already predicated then we are right and if not then may be we are wrong or some modifications required Tell me one thing about supersymmetry and extra dimensions what set up is required to prove or disprove it I know there may be technological challenges or may be it is impossible to reach certain energy level with today's equipment But at least in theory do u have any prototype that certainly prove or disprove the extra dimensions or supersymmetry?? 1 Ricardo Granja Ricardo Granja 1 year ago Trying to localise the Higgs “particle” is the reason these brilliant individuals are stuck in limbo. Disclosure on the horizon. Bill Bill 3 months ago The final point about creating the investigative equipment is worth expansion. I wonder if you could, it would be fascinating. Thanks for a riveting series! Andrew Nigsian Andrew Nigsian 2 years ago I couldn’t understand a single sentence in the entire show, yet found it super interesting. There’s another mystery! 7 Gabriel Lima Gabriel Lima 4 months ago This discussion was incredible! 1 Windyworm Windyworm 1 year ago What if the Higgs-Boson is actually 2 particles which cancel each other in terms of spin and charge? Adrian Cadenazzi Adrian Cadenazzi 10 months ago Brian Greene is the David Attenborough of physics. He is eloquent, flowing, spontaneous and has a cadence in speaking that is almost hypnotic. 1 Dennis O'Brien Dennis O'Brien 10 months ago This is clearly mind boggling. However, other than satisfying the intense intellectual curiosity of a relatively few humans who are capable of understanding it, what is the justification for continuing to spend enormous sums. The Higgs was once referred to as the “God Particle.” What will they call the particles after finding God. K.T. K.T. 1 year ago Here are many philosophers together, a simple question: How does a mathematical black hole move in space and merge with each other when they are infinite? Prerna Rani Prerna Rani 1 year ago this Nema guy knows his stuff .i am gonna follow him 26 Tasos Parisinos Tasos Parisinos 1 year ago Math is the coolest modelling/prediction tool but random observation also played a major role in the advancement of physics. Hearing the adorable lady-genius speaking, I understood how much the ATLAS must be calibrated to "store" events related to sth that the theory predicts. BUT it would be really cool, to make fast, complete calibrations to randomly look into energy ranges just to see, if sth is lurking in there. Understanding how difficult and time-consuming this is, makes it an ABSOLUTELY PERFECT target application of AI! InfiniteUniverse88 InfiniteUniverse88 1 year ago Maybe those particles that were dismissed as "crap" aren't really crap. Maybe just changing the parameters of the LHC is all that's needed. Maybe the next breakthrough in the standard model will come from machine learning, rather than larger, more expensive particle accelerators. Machine learning isn't very expensive. There might be too much data for humans to make sense of, that doesn't mean a.i can't. What's crap/noise to a human, might be crucial for the solution to the standard model. Something that concerns me, is that there isn't a vested interest for physicists to solve the standard model. This point was made in the video. While they were exaggerating, as there would be plenty of other unsolved problems in physics, the problem of not wanting closure is counterproductive. Someone from an a.i background on the other hand, is only interested in bringing closure to problems. Therefore, more emphasis on a cost-effective a.i approach, is how academia should train physicists. I found this video by typing the search terms "photon research frontier of physics." There may be greater breakthroughs from creating lasers in space, than from another particle accelerator. Though some might not like the militaristic implications of space lasers, the cost is comparable to CERN. There may also be non-militaristic applications, comparable to breakthroughs made possible by CERN. Edsel Angeles Edsel Angeles 1 year ago You know someone is a good teacher if everyone's just sitting and listening. asdfasdf71865 asdfasdf71865 1 year ago They are suggesting that even though galaxies drift apart and all matter goes into black holes, the universe could sustain somewhat stable mass content per volume over long periods of time trough this Higgs field correction. So maybe there is no single big bang, but infinite series of Higgs collapses. Did I miss something? American Artist American Artist 1 year ago (edited) It's hard to believe that a person who studies super symmetry, Higgs, etc would find it hard to quantify the amount of money they spend. After all, you have to have the cost in your proposals for grant proposals. 1 Behzad Khosravani Majd Behzad Khosravani Majd 1 year ago Every single words that came from them was mind blowing. 13 Ralph Latham Ralph Latham 1 year ago That would be the clearest, most succinctly expressed explanation I have not understood. 1 luke pendleton luke pendleton 2 years ago can we please just have brian host all of the world science festivals from now on ? 35 sywaddr11 sywaddr11 1 year ago Is it posible to reverse the energy back into particles for bigger particles with LHC? Dr. Paul Plumbing Heating Dr. Paul Plumbing Heating 1 year ago (edited) The statue sits outside of Cern's front lawn. Unveiled on June 18, 2004, the two-metre-tall statue was a gift from the Government of India. A plaque next to the statue, with a quote by Fritjof Capra, explains its significance: “Hundreds of years ago, Indian artists created visual images of dancing Shivas in a beautiful series of bronzes. In our time, physicists have used the most advanced technology to portray the patterns of the cosmic dance. The metaphor of the cosmic dance thus unifies ancient mythology, religious art and modern physics.” АVAИТ GAЯДЕ АVAИТ GAЯДЕ 1 year ago By colliding photons you can create an electron and anti-electron pair -- both of which have mass. Why? Nothing to do with the higgs boson -- but due to the fact that the photons have mass, and are fundamentally MATTER just like other particles. The reason that most of the time they don't touch anything is because of their size. We're talking about relative scales on the order of a small asteroid floating through a galaxy - of course its normally not going to collide with a star, it will miss it by hundreds of light years. The photon normally doesn't collide with anything -- but you can force it to and find that it behaves much like all other matter. Pujan Sunarr Pujan Sunarr 3 months ago These guys are tearing down the very curtain of reality , who knows how many layers will the humanity will be able to tear down till I live. Thankyou from behalf of our consciousness. 1 William Bunting William Bunting 2 years ago The Higgs particle has got to be compressed Higgs field. The Higgs field prevents travel above the speed of light, so when you collide two large particles at a closing speed of twice the speed of light the field between the particles at the closing moment becomes compressed to become particle like momentarily before it decays into a cascade of energy level particles. Maybe? p b p b 2 years ago Wonderful ! Thankyou for this. 3 Brian Arnold Brian Arnold 7 months ago So most of these particles are unstable and created by smashing protons together. They are all just energy formed into the framework of a particle. Neutrons, protons and electrons are stable. The question is is there more than one type of energy that causes the formation of the particles or just one energy. If so why are different particles formed. Sean Gilligan 137 #NewPhysics Sean Gilligan 137 #NewPhysics 7 months ago What all particle physicists fail to understand is that particles are just constructs not separate particles and that we can only measure in one dimension of space and time in any discrete act of measurement. They are constructed of vortices moving through the spacetime fabric which is an actual physical transparent lattice (dark matter) and we can only measure the energy vortices that are moving in harmony with us. The energy is propagated in constant spherical waves out from every dark matter particle at the Planck acale and from every percieved "particle". So Noethers Theorem only holds because it is limited to measurement in one dimension of space and one of time. The double slit experiment reveals that energy is propagated out in waves in every direction, the real measurement problem is not that the wave collapses but that we can only measure in one dimension so when we narrow the focus of the measurement parameters when detecting for which way we get twin band marks from single wave crests on the back screen not twin bands from particles. The inequality which proves this is correct is that ALL the waves get through the slits when we detect for which way but only a FEW get through when we don't detect and we get the interference pattern on the back screen. This is because the parameters of the focus on time have been narrowed from all waves that are detectable between the back screen and the particle gun (hence why some wave crests are hitting the front screen which is also within this range) to all waves that are detected passing through the slits. This inequality is impossible and incompatible with the SMOPP and one dimensional time. They must be waves and time must be multidimensional at the quantum level. The 1st section in the Theory of Everything that solves, explains and Unifies Everything in physics explains the inequality and how it shows the SMOPP is the wrong interpretation, it should be the standard model of wave, vortex and manifold physics. (The fact this acronym spells SMOWVAMP which is much more melodic and funky than SMOPP should be evidence enough in itself that God the creator of the Universe is funky beyond belief 🙃😉 and therefore must be true, however luckily the maths and peer reviewed evidence is also there to sway anyone who doubts 😝). Doubleslitsolution dot weebly dot com/springtimetheory dot html All the energy that is not detected escapes in all directions at every moment. To understand why it is not detected imagine releasing a billion rats from a pit in the middle of a playing field and trying to shoot one from above in a helicopter, (I'm fruitarian, the scenario is purely fictional, no rats are harmed in the writing of this comment) getting locked onto one as they run away in all directions is difficult enough, when focusing on one the rest become a blur, in our consciousness they barely even register. Or in 3 dimensions imagine trying to film a single spark fly out as a firework explodes, the focus would have to be extremely precise and all other sparks would be a blur surrounding the spark that we focus on. Many core concepts are summarised in short videos on my youtube channel. Just click the icon, I think the one on Bells Theorem perhaps covers the basic mistake of why Einstein and everyone else made the mistake of going for the particle model rather than the wave model.

Assuming you could drive two Chevys into each other fast enough to reveal all the pieces that made them it still wouldn't show how all those pieces worked. Kirk Thiets Kirk Thiets 9 months ago (edited) This unexpected spin this one quark makes... Is it proportional to the size of the collider? Could it determine the size of the universe? Or determine what is or if anything is outside of our universe? Dangifino. You guys crunch numbers that determine the age of the universe down to nanoseconds after the big bang. You're so close.
