LHC First Physics : First collisions in the LHCb's experiment - March the 30th, 2010

[lovelplants]

the first attempt. wow they're really happy and surely they love there work. i hope we will find out what they've been looking for this bigbang theory.

[Frankz455]

LOL at the guy picking his nose at 2:19 xD

[MyThIcaL343]

wtf new youtube comment layout is confusing....

[FHSProduction]

Why the hell was adam savage on the thumbnail

[kylestaff]

call me whatever you want. just dont call me white

[eVaNdaguitar]

possibly the most annoying soundtrack in the history of online videos, good vid though

[thedrrew]

unbelievably bad soundtrack... but a great video!

[ih8numberinusernames]

MAKE LOVE NOT PORN

[verdox]

@ih8numberinusernames F_ck that make love and porn..

[SuperFlawless2010]

What's with the Jewish background music in the background?

[IcarusLives666]

@SuperFlawless2010 Jewish isn't a genre of music.

[Chubsterwoo]

that was the worst sound mixing ever.

[ThePhantomSafetyPin]

Incredible. The search for new particles continues.

Science amazes me. :D

[ACE1546]

what is this for ? ?

[Ivan78552]

2:47 I thought that mouse pointer was mine................tripped me out.

[MyThIcaL343]

"coleesion"? rofl

[PCGamerPortal]

@MyThIcaL343 good thing you look at what matters most.

[JustMe111094]

first I tought se sad LSD

[TheCheshireCat86]

0:33 - cutie pies like physics ))

[TheDeni993]

watching things like this makes me proud of the human kind

[Fredde1Widde]

I don't get what they are doing, but if it helps my life then go ahead

[BIGFOOT3942]

@pingu4u

magnets would not have an effect on the iron core of the planet no matter how strong they are ,the earths core temp. is at about 9,800*F , iron loses it ability to be attracted by any magnet at 1418*F ,liquid iron wouldnt be affected by magnets

[twarti16]

they are doing something... but nothing changes, there is no info, no discovery... non

[soegel]

@twarti16

they made lots of discoveries already. but not much has been published yet. they wait, until they can fully back it up with enough data.

[jarkanciofan]

¿Windows XP? xD

[MrREYWARD]

lots of money involve, its better give it to the people dying of hunger

[twarti16]

@MrREYWARD if you take the money from millitary there would be no poverty and science would have the recources for better things than LHC... so this is not the problem but millitary is

[ThePhantomSafetyPin]

@twarti16 ... I... may be missing something huge here, but what does the Military have to do with Particle Physics of atoms?

If we took money from the military, we *might* have less poverty. If we somehow took all money from the military we would not be quite as protected.

[jesmarina]

@MrREYWARD - giving the money to the poor doesnt solve anything. Im not saying "dont help the needy" They should be helped, sure. That sort of view of the world is old fashioned and it wouldnt solve the growing problems in the world one bit. What do you want to do, when that money is spent then??? Sit and wait for some god to save the world from the rest of the problems we have?? No, progress and science cost money and time. If nobody invested in the future, we wouldnt have one!

[muffles12]

that why i dont care about the science stuff and lhc anymore people it is science moving on and moving forward , stay away from people they are try to sacry you that all

[Sirveaux]

Someone link me to the idiot that thinks this thing is responsible for earthquakes?

[rockbore]

Rockbore wants a reply to his second point; the collision in the experiment is a relative collision speed of 2xlight speed, with super energised or super massive hadrons- can this really be considered a normal even in our part of the cosmos?

[rockbore]

Im assured that high speed head on collisions are relatively abundant in the universe. and these pass without incident on the nano scale. The trouble I have is how these particles aquire such mass as those in the LHC. In, `the science of the disc world`, wizards make a machine whose exact function is untested, with parallels to the oppenhiemer experiments. All we have to go on are the reassurances of wizards and scientist; after all the experiment is driving the theory

[rockbore]

I can accept that near light speed collisions are frequently happening in nature at the subatomic level. I am less convinced that these collisions regularly involve such energetic particles. Also, I would expect such collisions, from cosmic rays hitting the atmosphere, to be such that a near light speed particle hit a relatively stationary object instead of colliding with a particle of equally high speed and energy. Can someone assure me that this really does happen local in nature?

[hb9boq]

@rockbore

The experiment is set-up in order to put the statistically abundant collisions SOMEWHERE in the universe into a PARTICULAR place, with sensitive detectors also in the right place, accurately aligned in order to measure the collisions.

Not easy, but it is a lot easier than sending the detectors into the universe and try to catch the events randomly - somewhere.

It is not only difficult, but extremely difficult and taking the very best material, equipment and brainpower available.

[NederlandSagan]

Congratulations CERN!

[darkfiete]

i dont understand the fear of people with the lhc experiments.... those collisions are happening in nature ALL THE TIME!

[kaymanklynman]

thats amazing , please someone knowns when the result will come?

[SoRealMedia]

Amazing!!!!! Science is truly a beautiful thing!

[supahurren]

Fantastic CERN 7GeV. Well done. Let's find some new physics.

In light

[MARKAFAITH]

previous respondant are u2 sure.

querie was that an experiment about colliding blönde wigs or greek yogourt at an atomic level so called beauty particle

Hei Dööre.

[Gwilbor]

At 0:13 we hear a female voice saying "Welcome to CERN" and then the song "where the street have no name". I know it is an exercept from anothre video (because I've seen a part of it in TV) but I cannot find it, someone can help me?

[NiGhtMarEs0nWax]

why this isn't taught in schools? why when i went through school, did i have to pick subjects such as art, religious education, good subject for some, but making everyone pick these is holding back the general public. a lot of ignorance surrounds modern science, to normal people, technology almost seems magical. science is a new age religion in more than one sense. it is 2010 and our secondary education systems are out of date, need more real politics, political ideologies, quantum physics.

Music the the background, AC/DC Thunderstruck?

[TheWildAssCopyCat]

It is an exciting time history to be a physicists...

^..^

[popas7]

Dec 21, 2012- we find out how it all began....

[frededison]

Paola, long time no beam! It's awesome to hear of CERN's recent success with the LHC. It hasn't been easy but worthwhile things rarely are. I'm looking forward to hearing more news of success in the future. Thanks for another great update video.

[heethen1]

Look at those apes made from star stuff discovering secrets of the universe! :D ;-) I have goose bumps... :)

[DiarmaidGNR]

thunderstruck!!!!!! Am I the only person that noticed that song?!!!!!! AC/DC rule!

[TearyEyesAnderson]

Wow I wish I'd have gotten to see this live, 397 min of ithat day is posted on their site but it's still not viewable.Once they succeeded in bring in the collisions it was nice to see the interviews, the director general was in Japan, lol that's about as far away as he could get, lol. They should have put that in this news reel ;)

[bamboo4tameshigiri]

Interesting music. A string rendition of ACDC's Thunderstruck.

[TechnologyGuild]

@bamboo4tameshigiri The song is preformed by the Vitamin String Quartet.

[ThePhantomSafetyPin]

@bamboo4tameshigiri Someone needs to arrange that for Orchestra. That would be badass.

[ColonelPatchy1]

@bamboo4tameshigiri - Oh wow now I hear it! One of the notes has been flatted though :)

[RustyCyler]

I seen all of this happen on the live feed. Congrats CERN.

[Awhiffofsuspicion]

well well,, someone's sure to of heard that.

[TrueCA7777]

I saw it live, it was awsome.

please provide mor info about the music used.

i'm looking forward to the first discoverys

[choobacca]

@TrueCA7777 it's "thunderstruck" by acdc....but performed with stringed instruments. took a second for me to catch on.

[lgr1991]

@choobacca well spotted lol

[LogicOfLife90]

awesome achievement

horrible music xP

[axelexa323]

AAAGUEVOOO!!!!!!!!!

[32937isready]

Oh, CERN is making up their own results - it's all a big scam!!!

[32937isready]

Can God travel faster then the speed of light?

[zhawmedia]

@32937isready not, because God is all

[HiAdrian]

@32937isready Why do you keep posting these stupid messages on multiple videos. You're not even interested in sincere answers. then -> than.

[VerySeriousUser]

What proof is there for the speed of light being the fastest possible speed? Doesn't the theory of relativity/special relativity (don't know which though) disprove itself? How can light NOT travel faster than the speed of light if you're traveling away from the lightsource?

[beastlt12]

@VerySeriousUser Relativity shows that light moves at one constant speed, no matter how fast the observer is moving. (That's a hard concept to grasp)

Essentially matter and energy are components of the same thing; and light is pure kinetic energy since it has no mass to slow it down, where as mass contains both kinetic and inertial energy. [yes i know that's a horrible explanation. best i could do on the fly]

[VerySeriousUser]

@beastlt12 So photons aren't really particles that travel through space?

[beastlt12]

@VerySeriousUser It's complicated. lol. ...and I only know the basic intro stuff.

However, a photon acts as both a particle and a wave, but the thing that lets it travel at the speed of light (i.e. the fastest speed known) is that is has no rest mass.

So a photon, having no mass when at rest, has no quantity of inertia, and thus nothing to resist it's movement.

[VerySeriousUser]

@beastlt12 I wish the physicists proved things instead of basing new theories on uncertain stuff.

[beastlt12]

@VerySeriousUser Well I understand what you're saying, but what is known about the speed of light is about as certain as you can get. Einstein's equations corrected some huge anomalies that didn't fit with classical mechanics, as well as made predictions.

Also, science generally does not 'prove' things. It explains what we observe within a certain degree of uncertainty. Nothing is technically ever proven.

...you might be referring to string theory, which is actually heavily debated.

[supahurren]

@VerySeriousUser

Increasing mass and shrinking length in direction of travel. Now read some physics and stop asking stupid questions that were answered nearly 100 years ago.

in light

supajohnny

[VerySeriousUser]

@supahurren I'd like to see proof, that's why I'm asking. Obviously you have some serious issues if you rage because of someone questioning your belief.

[jonjon181]

they should get 2 balls of iron and see how hard they can smack them together with that thing

[1RadicalOne]

Assuming they could even get them moving in a controlled path at normal velocities, the energy released would probably destroy the accelerator.

[japanakos23]

@1RadicalOne so now everyone is a theoritical physisist and engeenier?

guys give me a break-some realy good minds are in this project, dont you think they can canculate these parametres?I'm not saying i now better, i'm just saiyng..

P.S. my grammar is horrible i know

[1RadicalOne]

Yes, they could calculate it, but the original comment I was responding to clearly involved actually DOING it.

PS

I in fact AM an engineer - though not of particle accelerators - and my partner is a particle physicist. If you want her say on this, just say so.

[KARX0]

@Offvader or type in your web brouser cern . ch (without a spaces!) and press enter

[KARX0]

@Offvader go to the h t t p : // public . web . cern . ch/public/ ( type in without a speces)

type in the search field: Detecting string resonance at LHC, and press enter

[Offvader]

@KARX0 I found it thank you.

[Offvader]

Does anyone know the music track?

[giannistherodian]

@Offvader I think it is Thunderstruck by AC/DC

[Offvader]

@giannistherodian it is very reminiscent yes, I'm wondering if it is a classical piece that may have inspired AC/DC.

[KARX0]

@LordNapalm 7 TeV per beam is max (now 3.5 TeV per beam)

The fastest racetrack on the planet...

At full power, trillions of protons will race around the LHC accelerator ring 11 245 times a second, travelling at 99.99% the speed of light. Two beams of protons will each travel at a maximum energy of 7 TeV (tera-electronvolt), corresponding to head-to-head collisions of 14 TeV. Altogether some 600 million collisions will take place every second.

[LordNapalm]

Yay science! Does anyone know what the highest energy possible from the LHC will be? 7TeV isn't the maximum is it?

[MonsteriuM]

yep, no big bang bullsh!t to see here

although I hope they discover something more interesting :)

[KARX0]

They CAN discover the strings at LHC even if they are too small!!! LHC has VERY precise detectors! CERN has very powerful supercomputer center to analyse data. Actually these supercomputers will tell us if there are strings, Higgs bosons or something else.

[Celeon999A]

Congratulations CERN ! :-)

You did it !

[KARX0]

@cougar1515 I believe they'll discover the strings! Yes, they are very small 10*(-37). But Higgs bosons and Higgs mechanism is still up for debate too!!! Let's wait with a conclusions!

[Lioc]

wait ... do I sense some thunderstruck by ac/dc in there?

[DeletedDelusion]

THe music is fitting perfectly.

[KARX0]

@Athaeus No, you're wrong!!! read this : // indico . cern . ch/conferenceDisplay . py?confId=46802 Detecting string resonance at LHC by Min-Xing Huang (CERN) 2) "Detecting string resonance at LHC", discussion led by Min-Xin Huang

[Offvader]

@KARX0 I would like to read the article you linked to but your link doesn't work.

[IanBillings00]

Excellent! I can't wait to see some published results.

I am just hoping that once results are published, that they won't be shunned by some whacko conservative conspiracy junkies, saying things like, "Oh, CERN is making up their own results - it's all a big scam!!!1"

[HiAdrian]

@IanBillings00 Conspiracy theorists carry no weight when it comes to science, they're just overrepresented on places like YouTube. Former discoveries at CERN and the many other particle physics labs around the globe were adopted into the body of knowledge too.

Who outside of the scientific community is even interested in the results, and debating them? They'll forget about all this once it's not in the news anymore. I was interested in CERN back in the 90s and nobody seemed to have heard of it.

[pingu4u]

All I know is that since they started CERN up for real... we have been having some serious earthquakes. I think we maybe playing with science beyond our understanding at the moment.

[decmasta]

@pingu4u bad inference man

[dethdakiller0]

@pingu4u

Just because YOU don't understand the science, doesn't mean THEY don't know what their doing. I'm sure the world's greatest particle physicists would know if atom smashing caused earth quakes several thousand miles away.

[Sagenth]

@dethdakiller0 @pingu4u

Not only that! lmao... `.` We'd be able to figure out the root of the earthquake at the very least, came not from the core, but somewhere else.. from cern, I mean gad damn that rivals some of the dumbest things I've ever heard. These things also started happening since Obama became your presidant, maybe he has something to do with it..........

[dethdakiller0]

@Sagenth

Ya srsly, hes the antichrist ya know...........

[pingu4u]

@dethdakiller0 I do know that powerful magnets tend to have an effect on Iron.... hmmm.... what do we know that is made of Iron? Oh yeah the core of our planet. It's a liquid Iron core... hmmm.... weird how all these earthquakes and Volcano's started up in January and hey they really got CERN going in January also.... doesn't take a Rocket Scientist.

[dethdakiller0]

@pingu4u

ok first of all, earth quakes are caused by the grinding of tectonic plates. These plates are large slabs of rocks floating on the pool of molten rock which is the mantel. It has nothing to do with the core of our planet.

Volcanoes are caused by the same plates, which again has nothing to do with the core.

Stop fucking pretending you know jack shit about geology

[krishnafae]

@dethdakiller0 Good comment, err...but but would the world's greatest particle physicists CARE if it HAD created either earthquakes or, say, a volcanic eruption hundreds of miles away - would they admit it? And if they DID understand the science fully, surely these experiments would be considered un-necessary. In any event, would we non-scientific ordinary people understand or recognise the correlation with the experiment if they HAD caused a disaster?

[dethdakiller0]

@krishnafae

would they care? i'm not sure, but if i had to bet it would be yes.

Would they admit it? their scientisits, that atom smashing somehow caused earthquakes would be quite interesting. They would probably make sure to publish it in many peer reviews.

And we understand simple physics. We understand the forces were working with. We simply want to learn more about them. To think it would cause earth quakes is just a stupid and highly unlikely thought

[dethdakiller0]

@krishnafae

Would you recognize the correlation if the experiments had caused a disaster?

Fuck if i know, ask your selves. But i really think you would, seeing that even if they don't, you think they do.

And would you understand it? Well you ovbiously don't.

[omegavalerius]

@pingu4u

If we had followed your line of reasoning and stopped investigating every time we were at the brink of new understanding you wouldn't be typing your comment on this video. Instead you would be farming your 1ha field trying to earn enough to send one of your 10 kids to a wise man so that he can become the first person in your family who can read.

[rastarigate]

@omegavalerius

Well played sir.

[pingu4u]

@omegavalerius I hope your haughty analogy makes you feel intellectually self righteous. The fact still remains that CERN got going at the start of this year and since the start of this year we have had some crazy earthquakes and volcano's. Whatever the cause might be... We should not think ourselves so illuminated as to understand the effect of man's most powerful magnets on our Iron core planet. Even the Wright brothers crashed a few planes.

[IanBillings00]

@HiAdrian Believe me, I've been an avid follower of science for many years, and I am a chemist myself. I understand that members of the scientific community will accept the data as it is presented by CERN, though they might debate the conclusions a bit.

However, I am more concerned about applications of any discovery made, and whether it will be accepted by the populace, who can vote on funding for development. After the reaction to climate change data, I've lost a lot of hope on that!

[HiAdrian]

@IanBillings00 Ah ok, i see your point there.

[nurbsenvi]

so the gravitron exist or what?

I'm getting impatient here...

[deedubya286]

I've noticed that a large, strange looking hole has appeared in my back yard and is sucking everything into it.

Should I be conCERNed?

[Krumbz2003]

Some of the most intelligent people on the planet and they put THIS music to the video! lol Aside from that... AWESOME JOB... you guys continue to amaze!

[Athaeus]

@Krumbz2003 Taste in music has nothing to do with level of intelligence.

[jedaaa]

@Athaeus leonardo da vinci listening to some boy band?........me thinks not lol

;p

[Athaeus]

@jedaaa Who knows what that guy would have listened to if he was born in this age! He's assumed to have been homosexual, so the "boy band" idea would probably not be far from the truth.

[KARX0]

I'm waiting for the STRINGS!

[Athaeus]

@KARX0 The strings are assumed to never be detected in any particle collision - they're too small.

[cougar1515]

@KARX0 haha if strings exist, which is still up for debate, they will be way to small to detect... unfortunately. thats would be baller though.

[YdLeet]

Great! :)
