Thank you. 22 John Ventura John Ventura 9 months ago this lecture was fantastic for us non-physicists 37 Colin Few Colin Few 9 months ago This dude is really great at explaining this. Once he got into quantum fields I was like "oh no, this is going off the rails" but he really broke everything down quite well. Subscribed! 89 BD BD 8 months ago Sean does an EXCELLENT job at explaining. Thank you so much, Sean!

Sean Carroll is an outstanding teacher. 19 Peter MacMonagle Peter MacMonagle 3 weeks ago This was great. I am interested in this and find his explanations very informative and uncomplicated. 1 Arsalan Adil Arsalan Adil 8 months ago My interest in physics begin when I saw a article in newspaper on LHC and the search for higgs boson back to 2008 , there mentioned name god particle that struck me, I was thinking that this machine finally answered questions about God, and after studying particle physics I come to realize this particle is key to answered biggest mystery of the universe. There is higgs ness everywhere in the universe that is why the universe we know exist 4 Vinny V Dali de Monet Vinny V Dali de Monet 9 months ago Sean, you are very good at informing and educating many of us. That is a tremendous skill and doesn't come easy. Thank you for your time, consideration and sharing the passion you evidently have for Science. I/we appreciate all your hard work. 50 M P M P 9 months ago Just found this channel looking for information about charm mesons. You’re an amazing teacher. Thanks for sharing your life’s work with the World. 7 peraghu peraghu 4 months ago Sir hats off and bow down... You have represented all the scientists and all the history past present and future of Existence ! I want to listen to your lectures always ! C C 9 months ago (edited) I'm blessed to have discovered this man, Sean Carroll.... and this channel Wondrium recently. I'll be watching many of the videos. I spent the last 12 years of my career as a prototype machinist working on a different "9+billion dollar" project..... The James Webb Space Telescope.... projected launch date 10/31/2021. Just as the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, the JWST will also satisfy man's curiosity in so many ways.... but perhaps more importantly, it will give us even greater pictures than the Hubble and the many amazing earth based telescopes..... and in doing so it will bring us to our knees in worship of the God that created this universe. Psalm 19: 1 The heaven's declare the glory of God.... Acts 17: 28 In Him we live, and move, and have our being. 1 Dari Shesed Dari Shesed 9 months ago Very informative! This is an amazing discovery, now we know that the quantum mechanics have always been present since ancient times. Names will always change. According to cultural and political changes. Meaning may change but the essence of true intellect is there. Scientists are never satisfied even while sometimes having solid theories, until they have concrete evidence.... I was shook at $9B. Makes me think of our priorities. Even if technology gets better is it really worth all these resources? Curiosity killed the cat. That’s the saying isn’t it? As curious as we are we also have intelligence to know our limits and discern progress vs consequences. I’m sure there are far more sustainable ways to implement these advancements. But i guess in the end I have to admit we will always follow our desire for knowledge. Even if sometimes I wish compassion came first, I guess knowledge helps understanding between humans as we can finally grasp things as a whole. As understanding comes together peace can be closer to our reality. 4 Jim Bo Jim Bo 8 months ago What an eloquent scientist and a perfectly presented lecture. I must see if he has a video explaining Einstein’s relativity as I always feel there is a logical jump in every explanation I’ve seen. Nothing illogical in this lecture. 6 Chris H. Chris H. 6 months ago Love that the discovery was announced on July 4th, awesome. Best particle physics lecture ever, sub'd 1 oakleyMC oakleyMC 8 months ago Awesome video and great lecture. During the presentation, Sean Carroll mentions that there are more of these lectures about particle physics (at 22:10 he says lectures 8 and 9 will be about the LHC). I wonder where one could watch the remaining lectures? I haven't found them on the Wondrium YouTube channel. 6 Alastair Archibald Alastair Archibald 8 months ago The most stunning thing I discovered about particle physics is that the majority of the mass in protons and neutrons comes from the energy exchanged between the eight massless gluons holding the component quarks together. 6 Martin DS Martin DS 9 months ago Thanks for this great video Wondrium! Sean is the best communicator for this kind of subjects. 14 Edward Lee Edward Lee 5 months ago Dr Sean did again. this is the best episode in higgs boson. the energy radiates just like the higgs field giving the audience a sense of mass ( being important now that I know the hidden secret of the universe ) thanks again Dr Carroll and keep up with the good work. from Hker worldwide 香港聽眾 1 Alison Hartson Alison Hartson 1 month ago Freaking fascinating.

Wondrium Gilbert ENGLER Gilbert ENGLER 9 months ago One of the best teachers in the field! 18 Joseph Maani Joseph Maani 9 months ago I feel like I have been rechristened, taking me back to my college days some 30 years ago. And I could gather much more from Sean's 30 minutes lecture than I have been able to since Higgs Boson news broke out from CERN in 2012..... 6 Denis Vandale Denis Vandale 9 months ago The older idea of Aether seems to reflect this higgs/boson field. Something that Einstein once considered as part of his theory of relativity. 12 Chris Bartley Chris Bartley 9 months ago Wow....this actually makes sense to me now. Great video. It's not a particle, it's a field. 4 Arif Mahmood Arif Mahmood 6 months ago Wonderful job. And thanks to u sir for making it easy for us. Jane Ladik Jane Ladik 8 months ago Cool. Thank you. I think I even understood that. It sent my mind spinning. I am writing a book and let’s just say, a problem within the pages may just have been solved. 2 gary clements gary clements 3 months ago This guy did a wonderful job of simplifying this topic. Wondrium p b p b 9 months ago Sean is such an absolutely wonderful lecturer. Thankyou Sean! 8 Ryan Salvador Ryan Salvador 9 months ago (edited) "Nature will surprise us once again."

Much more intelligent than anyone in the running. 11 Jason Achilles Jason Achilles 3 months ago (edited) 24:53 - This is gold starting right here. Well said, Mr. Carroll What's Up What's Up 7 months ago This was a very good lecture thank you. David Hill David Hill 9 months ago That is so cool! Professor Higgs developed his theory in the mid-to-late 60s and it took until 2012 for him to prove it. I would have loved to be standing in the room when that happened. One thing about the Higgs boson is that it is the particle that allowed mass to form. 1 Ev3ntHorizon Ev3ntHorizon 8 months ago Extremely clear and concise. 3 HockMeng Yong HockMeng Yong 8 months ago Great video. Learned a lot here. Thanks for sharing. Ken Hughes Ken Hughes 9 months ago (edited) Excellent presentation. Thank you Shaun Carrol. Despite Shaun's undoubted intellectual talents, his vast knowledge of physics and astounding presentational skills, I have to disagree with him on one point. We DO NOT (yet), have a complete theory of the fundamental building blocks as Shaun has stated. We do not yet understand gravity and still, have not found the supposed "Graviton". We are still "stuck" at ALMOST understanding that gravity is the curvature of time, but are confused that this varying time rate also affects the "size" of space (space curvature). We are unsure which is fundamental, Space or Time and have made no progress in resolving this issue. I will give you the answer. TIME IS FUNDAMENTAL, and space is simply emergent from the process of time. To me, this seems quite obvious. In Special Relativity, as your clock slows with increasing speed, then the space (ahead of you) contracts. All this means is that as your clock slows down, it takes YOU, less time to cross any distance, until, at the speed of light, your clock has stopped altogether and it now takes you no time at all to get anywhere you like. Space has become meaningless to you. It has ceased to exist when your time has ceased to pass. Your motion has caused time to slow down, but the slowing of your time has caused space to "shrink". You have been moving through a "Time Rate Field" which slows your time down in accordance with Lorentz. Only motion through a sine wave can do this. The time rate field is a wavelike field of energy, an oscillating field of energy, which appears blue shifted to you as you move faster through the field. The field is the field of TIME !, and so the static field (of time), is proceeding faster than you and so YOUR field is running SLOWER as a result of your motion. You have literally red shifted, in that your progress into the future proceeds with a lower frequency. Yes, that's right, we all move into the future (the next state of existence) in a wavelike manner, faster then slower, then faster then,.........well you can see what I mean. This HAS to be the case when we consider how light is emitted in waves from any light source. What else would cause that, other than the oscillating frequency of all events? If you put a clock in completely empty space (yes I know), the damn thing will tick, not because you just put it there, but because time was already passing there before you put the clock in it. The time rate field is an oscillating field of energy that exists throughout the cosmos, and it has a non zero value everywhere. 'Sound familiar? Yes, that's right. the Higgs field IS the time rate field. The gravitational field is simply the variation in frequency of the field with position, or, the "curvature of time" caused by some of its energy being used by the particles in the larges masses within it. Everything takes its energy from the field, all particles, all matter and all motion too. All events, all change. All energy comes from the time rate field which is why the field red shifts (loses energy) in the presence of other sources of energy. The Higgs Boson is the particle from this field, but it is not the graviton. Gravity is caused by the changing frequency of the field with position in it and there is no particle associated with changing frequency, but only from the field itself. There is no such particle as the "Graviton", it is a figment of our imaginations and we will never find it. I'll leave it there, but there is much more to this idea than can be presented here in a comment. You can read my book "The Binary Universe" - A Theory of Time, and "No", I don't care about selling books, at least, I do want to sell just the one book, to the physicist who takes this idea seriously and who decides to test it. I am not a physicist, but an Engineer. I have a different certificate than a physicist and I take my hat off to these very clever, hard working and knowledgeable professionals. I hope this "Grease Monkey" has sparked some degree of curiosity in the mind of at least one of you. 6 Jake Powers Jake Powers 3 months ago Hearing about the Muon G-2 experiement and then watching this video and hearing him say we have a COMPLETE standard model it makes me wonder how much are we really missing. I mean lets be honest if science recieved military grade funding we would probably be able to understand more😭 1 Bernard Liu Bernard Liu 9 months ago Dr. Carroll spoke extemporaneously for some 30 minutes, without a single hitch, nor a single stutter ! Amazing ! So glad he was never in the same class as I. 19 Suyapa Jimenez Suyapa Jimenez 8 months ago I’m just a retired country doctor what enjoy science so much.

I was reading / working on awakening with quantum physics, cause n effect n time, where I found about it. And your elaborate and lucid description helped me to understand it in much better way. Specifically, field.. has given me a new point to rebuild my study. 🙏 2 Wondrium mohamed sobhy mohamed sobhy 3 months ago Excellent presentation sir 👏 1 Wondrium shagster1970 shagster1970 9 months ago I think the Higgs field will explain a lot about Dark Energy and Dark Matter and that we dont know a lot about "other" field interactions. As Sean said we can explain a lot about what we can see - this is really only a very small part. 9 Dismythed Dismythed 9 months ago (edited) I am so glad someone finally gave proper credit to Democritus. Everyone else tries to say "Democritus was wrong" when it was really the chemists who got it wrong. Thanks for that. Also, the particle physicists are also wrong. There's something deeper. "Particles are fluctuations in a field" is wrong. (But we won't get into that here.) 3 Cinema Ipswich Cinema Ipswich 9 months ago (edited) An excellent presentation. I was confused by wave-particle-field explanations in the past. I admit, I'm no genius and maths is not my strong subject, but now I at least have the basics of this part of Physics. Joseph Collins Joseph Collins 7 months ago Damn! I think I love you. Been trying so many articles, videos, books about this "stuff"; no luck at understanding well. YOU are fantastic with breaking down a lecture with the right words, the right rhythm of information. Thank you so very much. Am the only one who, at different points here, was thinking, "Oh! This sounds like reincarnation proof or possible consideration..." Kali. WhoDances Kali. WhoDances 9 months ago Thank you! So easy to understand your explanation! ✨ 10 Wondrium 40,000 headmen 40,000 headmen 1 month ago Are there further lectures from Sean Carrol concerning the Higgs boson and the Higgs field? I would like to hear more about about the significance of the spin 0 aspect of the particle, and an explanation as to why and how the Higgs field restricts the weak force to such short ranges, but doesn't play that role in the other short range force namely, the strong force, and doesn't effect the electromagnetic or gravitational forces. I have seen it stated that the inverse of the spin represents the number of rotations that the object which can be said to be described by the wave function must be put through in order to return to its original orientation. With a spin one that is obviously one full rotation of 2pi or 360 degrees. With a 1/2 spin it is 4pi or 720 degrees. Since there is no reciprocal of 0 that would seem to be undefined for the Higgs boson. In other words, you can't say anything about the orientation of the Higgs boson. The Higgs field itself is indeed strange. The formal description of it is that it is a "tachyonic field with an imaginary mass". This description says to me that the Higgs field does not reside in the physical vacuum, rather it exists in the virtual vacuum. As for mass, that does not seem to be a property of fundamental particles. Rather it appears that it is an emergent property of composite particles. It's just that the components of particles with mass don't co-exist, rather they exist alternatively. For example, the electron that we observe is actually made up of a left chiral negative 1 weak hypercharge electron and a right chiral negative 2 weak hypercharge electron. These two different states simply replace one another without co-existing and are themselves fundamental particles that are massless. Therefore all fundamental particles actually are massless. Satyendra Singh Bhadauriya Satyendra Singh Bhadauriya 7 months ago Hats off to You .

Thank you. Another Point of View Another Point of View 3 months ago A great explanation for our great explanations. Dismythed Dismythed 9 months ago (edited) Definitely one of the better videos on the Higgs and particle physics in general, but it still didn't explain how the Higgs gives mass to other particles, which tells me they don't know how it does, which makes the claim dubious, especially since they keep downgrading its contribution to mass more and more as time goes by. You're saying the Higgs give mass to electrons. (They also have spin.) How, if electrons are not made of smaller particles? The evidence seems to scream: go smaller! 2 Alpha Blender Alpha Blender 3 weeks ago Great video thank you I watched it until the end it's really intriguing and interresting Anup Dharangutti Anup Dharangutti 9 months ago Thanks for sharing, interesting and exciting!! 5 Wondrium Stephanie Romer Stephanie Romer 9 months ago (edited) This is awesome. Much love. ❤️ I would have a lot more to say about spending on science… vs say military spending for example: the military spending of lives. Science establishes truth, and truth brings peace and unity. Solves problems on many levels. Even in the future in ways humans cannot yet imagine. It’s the life force. Other than Sean’s understatements about the importance of discovery, this was awesome. I went to Fermilab back then. In 2012 with my MENSA group. ❤️⭕️❤️ 1 Ahsan Rubel Ahsan Rubel 9 months ago You are always so good in explaining hard concept. It's a privilege to have you in our time. Long live the great explainer. 6 david mccallum david mccallum 8 months ago To have a superluminal craft it has a higgsfield to isolate the environment. You can't have inertia, since a right hand turn that appears instantly to the observer, actually takes more time as occupants would experience. Otherwise the G force would instantly kill you. The craft opens up a quantum tunnel wormhole in front of it, and the craft falls forward, so forget seeing an energy signature, accept as when using the right equipment, the drive would appear as an electric stove element if back engineered. If used by the aliens, it would appear as a spiral galaxy. Once you step out of the craft, you would likely have no memory of the trip, since the mind can't deal with the dimension of time that way, and the memory of your travel could take years to surface, even if you merely go a thousand miles and back. The first five dimensions are of the physical. The 3-D we all know, time which is the fourth, and the higgsfield which is the fifth, as a quantum tunnel wormhole, that is pixelated like pixels on a TV, and granulated. If the craft moves to light speed, it's then beyond the visible spectrum. To the occupant however, it could have gone a great distance and back with no notice of time. It's the fifth dimension that all physics operate in. Energy, mass, inertia, gravity, electromagnetism etc... Stewart James Rogers Stewart James Rogers 7 months ago Could the electroweak force divided by the strong force multiplied by the Higgs field equal matter? Mazdy Soraya Mazdy Soraya 7 months ago Wow, beautifully explained, Wondrium Eigil Skovgaard Eigil Skovgaard 4 months ago (edited) I had expected to see the documentation and have it explained. The presentation of this timely finding of Higgs particle, now also identifying itself as a field, could very well be a designed scam at the level of the Apollo 11 illusion. Very few people would know the truth. But a positive outcome of years searching and spending fortunes would secure future founding and a couple of Nobel prizes between friends. The taxpayers will not be alarmed for the next decade. Yes, my trust in the established academia ranks below Father Christmas. What will be the next project be for the expensive accelerator and its well paid operators who dominantly are of zionist related ethnicity. But that of course could be a coincidence? 1 Trevor Bates Trevor Bates 9 months ago I wish it wasn't me who has to tell you this but you are only partly correct. The higgs field is better described as God's Field because it has many functions and the weak and the strong nuclear forces, the kicking force of electromagnetism, and gravity, all respond to the same universal force. Its what you get when you excite a superabundent cloud of massless plasma to hurtle through the universe at the speed of light. In its production process of making stars and atoms this original speed has slowed down considerably but the original shockwaves from the original collision that passed through the whole universe instantly and before time began reached 186000 mps...and this speed is captured by the kicking force of the higgs field when it is disturbed within the atom. The higgs then is an imploding force. It is a hole that reaches into the original static state of the universe, but a plasma cloud travelling at high-speed has certain scientific properties too and an internal puncture of such a cloud carries an imploding force and gravity, which is mass reaching into this static dimension is one such imploding field. The higgs is also such a breach and sucks in plasma from all directions until the the hole is full and the higgs field force is extinguished until a sudden pulse creates a second, diminished implosion, then a third whilst the imploding force is receding in strength and what started as a powerful implosion becomes less and less becoming the weak nuclear force with electrons stemming the final implosion until one is kicked out of orbit. This is achieved by higgs disturbances...an imploding force until it becomes overfilled and then distortion of these nuclear forces creates a kicking force which carries the speed of the original shockwave that otherwise lies dormant within the higgs. When a chunk of plasma is at rest within the atom it is cloud form...when it is excited it is particle form...but when it is returning to rest it becomes wave form and can adopt these states in nanoseconds dependant upon the influences they experience. 1 Mauricio Micoski Mauricio Micoski 9 months ago 0:52 the anouncement of the Higgs Boson measurement "was a massive worldwide media sensation". Of course, if there weren't a Higgs Boson, it would not have been massive... 😄 63 Samuel Jurgensen Samuel Jurgensen 1 month ago I'm not sure I've ever been told I should be surprised, and agreed so thoroughly Javier Tafur Javier Tafur 9 months ago Excellent presentation! 1 Felix Mingl Felix Mingl 8 months ago The fact that baffled me the most is that the LHC the largest thing humans ever built costs just a bit more than what the German public legal broadcast costs every year. I think we as a species really fail to put our efforts into the right things. truth_seeker truth_seeker 9 months ago Sean Carroll… is great! Spidervait Spidervait 3 months ago Very helpful. Thanks. Wondrium Nydaloth Nydaloth 9 months ago I was a 1987 summer student at Fermi Lab. During a lunch, Leon Lederman told me that his book about the Higgs boson was to be named the God dammed particle, because it was very difficult to find, but that his editor told him to drop the word dammed in order to sell better as a more serious book. That’s the real reason for the word God in the title! 3 Byron Watkins Byron Watkins 8 months ago "Particles are what we see when we look at the fields?" More precisely, the fields interact locally like particles do. Whether we are "looking" is irrelevant to this. Most simply, we can see only what interacts with our senses (and our sensors) and each of these interactions occurs locally as though a particle struck the sensor. Additionally, the disturbance due to the interaction propagates outward in both fields as waves. 2 Alastair Archibald Alastair Archibald 8 months ago “Atom” comes from the Greek “atomos”, meaning, “unable to be cut”.

Fernando Barela Fernando Barela 9 months ago (edited) Do these particles vibrate just before they collide creating heat, exciting them enough to allow them to come apart ? Dahlia the reader Dahlia the reader 9 months ago Thank you for the very informative yet comprehensive explanation 3 Wondrium john reyes john reyes 5 months ago The fact will always remain that until gravity is found then the standard model and everything associated with it is basically a theoretical assumption , if this boso boson gives mass in a field then it contradicts the graviton as it would have accumulated everything into a mass jelly like substance that contradicts the existence of everything. If one looks deep into science and cosmology it is made of physics math that can be manipulated to fit any observasion and we all know that an elephant can be made to hang off a cliff holding onto a daisy using physics math, why is it that the earth attracts the moon holding it in its orbit yet we as biological life forms so close to earth and barely a fraction of the size of the moon we are able to walk upon the earth ? how does one expect gravity to act at such a distance on such a large mass yet allow us to exist here on earths surface? ie a magnet will attract a piece of iron and it will stick to it ?? 1 Kevin Martinez Kevin Martinez 9 months ago Question for alchemists 🙋‍♂️ So is the Higgs Field like the “Prima Materia” which alchemist of old spoke of? 3 Vi Tr Vi Tr 7 months ago You may imagine there are a tree, a person, a dog and basketball in front of you. If there is no strong external force will affect those, nothing will move from the original point, but you also know human and animal also can move by their consciousness. Now you are looking at the particles, they also naturally are moving like a wave. Do you think particles, animals and human have a ration ship or some natural laws governing the moving? I am not saying the particles are also consciousness, but they may relate with some kinds of energy fields. Santanu Dutta Santanu Dutta 9 months ago I am curious about what led Professor Higgs to the Field bearing his name. Was it a “fudge factor" to explain the peculiarities of the weak nuclear force? Rafael Romo Rafael Romo 6 months ago Bro I understood everything you said! 👍 FirstTuber123 FirstTuber123 2 months ago So basically George Lucas was ahead of everyone and “The Force”is a real thing. 2 Wondrium Red hormez Red hormez 4 months ago Very great explanation thanks . butywbrainz butywbrainz 9 months ago (edited) But we do not see air. We do not see 'particles" or the "field" either. But I like the phrase "the fundamental building blocks of nature". That's why the higgs boson is referred to as "the God particle". Interesting indeed 🤓. 3 ctixbwi ctixbwi 8 months ago (edited) Well, now when the Higgs field and bosom’s existence and nature has been confirmed and understood, what will be the next continued scientific frontier beyond this be? What is it that makes the existence of all these theories tangible at all? Did space exist before the Big Bang? If not, what caused it to come in existence and how? Do we dare to ask or has humankind arrived at the end of the world we can fall off of!? Captain Misinformation Captain Misinformation 9 months ago If I had a science teacher like him I would have been a major of a science field of studies. Though I am very interested, I did not catch on with/understand the basics of science and maths and I kinda hate them for it now. 2 hjoab hjoab hjoab hjoab 8 months ago (edited) I still remember reading a book from Einstein in where he was saying there was nothing like an Ether ( the physical ether in relation to 'the' c). Well, I knew he was wrong, there is SOMETHING EVERYWHERE Tee Abeg Tee Abeg 7 months ago (edited) It’s important for some people to make ordinary things complicated just so we can say, they are highly intelligent. If Higgs uniformly fill space, Albert says space is something that can curve and be disturb by mass. Thus, space in the sense defined as “empty” or “unoccupied” does not exist. What we refer to as space is an occupation not occupied by visible matter. Do you know fishes in the ocean think they are inside an “empty” space? But who am I to tell these ‘geniuses’ how the universe work. James Cole James Cole 8 months ago does anyone know the answer to this...at the moment before the big bang the higgs field was zero...was it the initial explosion that started the field and wouldnt it take a bunch of explosions to get the field to the very fine thread count so to speak that it is today? does that mean the initial shockwave from the big bang kept coming around again and again? is that what made the higgs field...shockwaves from explosions Jungle Jargon Jungle Jargon 9 months ago OK so the Higgs is unexplained as to where it comes from. So it gives matter it’s mass and that is what pulls time and distance “down” into quantifiable measurable amounts. Time is pulled down from everything being instantaneous and slows it down so physical things can take place. Likewise, distance that is infinite was pulled down into being measurable and limited amounts “where” life can take place. So we now have limited time and distance where the chemistry, electromagnetism and quantum mechanics can be ordered into being three dimensional living organisms. Do you want to discover where all of this power, order and written instruction is coming from? I can tell you that it is not from a physical source. 4 Diego Ortiz Diego Ortiz 8 months ago Physicists are not usually charismatic or good at speeches, Sean Carrol is really unique person in this world.

I've known this is true since I was a kid and all it took was a 4 dollar square piece of blotter paper .🧐🧐🤯 I also felt my shadow had mass as well as my own thoughts so who knows lol my hunch is that might be way more complicated but partially true besides the shadow. Glen Danison Glen Danison 9 months ago I have the tiniest grasp of the concept of particles now i have fields to confuse the hell out of me. 38 kennyw kennyw 8 months ago Years ago I read Leon Lederman's book The God Particle and still highly recommend the book. I understand why the term "God Particle" was used back in the day. But now that we know that Dr. Lederman was referring to an unknown or mysterious particle yet to be discovered, which came to be known as the Higgs boson, I think it's time to drop "The God Particle" reference. If "God" wanted mankind to know about the Higgs boson, he would have included it in the bible and saved humans billions of dollars and time. My apologies to the late and great Dr. Lederman. 1 Hara Shylander Hara Shylander 8 months ago (edited) Don't make God a partical please we respect science and technology 🙏🙏🙏 3 Onder Ozenc Onder Ozenc 3 months ago (edited) At the time, Democritus was using his intuitions, today we are using our LHCs by virtue of which we understand that the space-time undergoes fluctuations due to the entangled strings (dark matter) that exists at cryogenic temperatures thus giving no rise to the Higgs bosons... NIRUxGAMING NIRUxGAMING 5 months ago In ancient Hindu vedas this was said 1000s of years ago. It said there is God in everything and everywhere.Now we are just rediscovering and renaming. 1 Jean Corriveau Jean Corriveau 9 months ago Higgs boson. Why call it the God particle? So that people pay attention. For the wrong reason. The Higgs field is more fundamental than the other fields. The temperature in a room is a field. When a measurement is made in one specific location, it's a particle. Excellent analogy! afwdawd awdwadw afwdawd awdwadw 7 months ago this is pretty much like Chemistry when it first started with scientist finding new elements. Andrew Szemeredy Andrew Szemeredy 9 months ago As I was watching this, an idea occurred to me. Carroll speaks of the Higg's Bosom as the dampening field of weak nuclear forces, why their effect is not long range like those of the electromagnetic force and of gravity. Everyone has started with the idea of Higg's Bosom as a dampener. I ask, why? It could very well be that the Higg's Bosom is an amplifier. The e.f. and gravity may be short-range forces, or fields, too, but the H's B makes them long range, while at the same time H's B has no effect on W and S N Fs. So if someone came up with an approach I described, would they have found Higg's Bosom? (They keep misspelling that expression all over the place, BTW.) Think about it: "It's gotta exist. It's gotta exist. Oh, it exists." Sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy. I am sure they could have worked out mathematically the amplifying effect of H's B, if they started with "It's gotta exist, it's gotta exist, it's gotta exist" but from my way of approaching the search for its existence. And the entire study of QM would be different now. 2 Lowell-James Hicks Lowell-James Hicks 9 months ago Democritus is clearly (2:47) one of the early incarnations of Merle Haggard. 8 Rasheel Sharma Rasheel Sharma 6 months ago Hello, If accounting for electromagnetism and gravity, nuclear forces aren't necessary. Light, mass, waves, and particulate matter are accounted for. The key is being able to measure the differences in gravity, while also figuring out how to recreate it. Please expand upon this. Thank you. LM LM 6 months ago Very good presentation. It was found another "measuring stick"! Yea! Let's start measuring everything with the new stick! Oh well, there's so much more we don't know. However, it will possibly open new doors to understand more about what we don't know, and there's humanity moving along... 😃 Ello Mello Ello Mello 7 months ago If only big bang theory had serious episodes like this... 👍 Marianna Balogh Marianna Balogh 9 months ago You are amazing. Thank you! 1 2015 Yin 2015 Yin 8 months ago I see. So basically everything is just a vibration of space. This vibration of space is energy. Energy is linked to mass. Mass is linked to gravity. Gravity is linked to time. Different Vibrations links to different particles. Now, you have an equation that starts with a simple vibration of space that linked energy, mass, gravity, time and all the particles in the universe together. Cool. 1 Nixon Nixon 9 months ago This is beyond Good Tube 🤓 4 Gerald R Tamayo Gerald R Tamayo 2 months ago In the 1990s, it was thought that CERN LHC is supposed to be for time travel! As in the TV series "Seven Days". Well, when I was still kinda genius in the 1980s, (who would be) top scientists went to me to inquire about Higgs bosons and how to detect them, and I may had given them ways to do that.

So the only truth any sane person always seeks for and always finds, is the truth of the all in the one, never the truth of the one in the all. Every woman wants a perfect man, and every man a perfect woman. Every teacher a perfect student and every student a perfect teacher, ... and the list goes on endlessly. The only fact that fascinates anyone is the truth of the exceeding much good that is there even in the exceeding little of it, such as the truth in morals, never the truth of the exceeding little evil that is there even in the exceeding much of it, such as the truth in money. But having said that, people do build enormous telescopes of all kinds, at great material cost and maybe even cost of life, although never the personal kind, just to have a closer look at the tiny specks of light which when magnified happen to be ginormous galaxies, with all sorts of heavenly bodies and constellations in them, many of them billions and billions of light years away that may not even be existant now. No one peers the night sky to see the vast darkness of empty space. This world has witnessed and is still witnessing the oppressive and the tyrannical rule of many dictators and many dictatorial regimes , but does anyone truly love any of them or truly care for any them ? What does both the truth and the legend surrounding such personalities reveal ? They are always betrayed by one of their closest of confidantes. Why is Nelson Mandela such a well known figure today but many of the dictatorial rulers who are probably present in Africa even now, unknown of, maybe even unheard of ? If you are not sorely missed when you are gone, and no one sheds a tear for you but the crocodile kind, could your brief sojourn and your brief stay here on this earth have been a pleasant and a happy one and could you possibly have made a difference to this world for the better ? You always must and always will make a difference, even when you think out of sheer ignorance that you do not, or choose not to, or desire not to, you always are, in this latter case unfortunately always for the worse ? What can one little old me do ? I am the victim here, not the culprit. Let everyone else do the right thing first, then maybe even I'll do it. We are where we are today only because of such kind of non-voluntary or is it non-voluntiary , non-volunteeary thinking, and I will admit that I am not any different from or any exception to anyone else in this regard.

Samuel Jurgensen Samuel Jurgensen 1 month ago Every particle is God's 👍 Sam C Sam C 2 months ago (edited) 25:55 - “It’s nice to get 10 billion dollars… BUT” made me lol 🤣🤣 1 Sean Gilligan 137 #NewPhysics Sean Gilligan 137 #NewPhysics 7 months ago What Sean (and 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. vithalbhai patel vithalbhai patel 4 months ago Well show.

Cheers. ravi vetri ravi vetri 5 months ago Thank you sir my long time queire filled me in mind. Yurii Marshal Yurii Marshal 8 months ago (edited) There are existent four natural phenomenons: information, energy, matter and category (or prototypes, fields, particles, patterns) that apply to a human as ideas, psy-energy, a body and a mind or as thought before a soul, a spirit, a body and a mind. Everything they find will be presented as particles pulled from nowhere, but ever they change rules, the next level of duality will break it off. So any knowledge you will reach is called as Equilibrium. Nothing supernatural, okay. Just human nature of ego and id. And hah quantum particles are falsy divided by Standard Model, for that phenomenons could be rearranged as: leptons (make saturation of information), forsons (make basement as we understand for spark-bosons (W&Z) fields, for el-magnety fields, for gravity fields, for gauge-gluon fields), baryons (actual natural particles that we consist of, fermion matter etc), mesons (make shape, make memory on transformation). Anytime you will extract that particles to "real world", they will exist a very short time but loose their properties. Moving through the continuum, this existence evolutes as a tensor by initial algorithm (seems like a reaction of Christoffel and Ricci coefficients). That's an adaptation, how can I feel this world. Every phenomenon has dual polarization by every parameter we name as negative and positive and each function we name as additive and comparative. The types of parameters and functions are real phenomenons like sets of completed structures, not a dualization. Comparative operators are revealed by discrete math, additive are revealed by algebra, higher math. Deal with it, just a nature. George Monsanto George Monsanto 6 months ago Is science telling us that in the beginning, there was an assembly line arranging particles together in a specific order? And that the big bang was just secondary? So, it was creation, not an accident? Science have created more questions becoz of Higgs boson.

Acceleration is when those fields move. The word equal means that something is evenly balanced. So what is the sum of the parts of Energy??? What are the sum of the parts of the E? That it be evenly balanced with MC2. It would be like if I said to you... 1+2 = 3. The letter one, is not the letter 3. And the letter two is not the letter three. The equals sign just represents that two different things are evenly balanced. So the letters one and two, are not the letter three. The letter 3 is a different letter. If I describe the sum of the parts of the letters one and two, it will be a different explanation to the sum of the parts of the letter 3. So in like manner, what are the sum of the parts of the E? What are the sum of the parts of Energy.
