  • no sounds at the beginning? so whats those diagram any way? hmm , so i have to look for other video explaining LHC.. i guess this video shows what they do inside there..

  • Seems like any room in Switzerland has four languages spoken all at the same time.

  • So when are they ganna finish building the LHC, I hope they dont want more money from the US, we should of built the thing in the US, we would of had it done by now, never the less I have high hopes for thr LHC, cant wait to hear about there first finding

  • @jomill78

    It's been running for well over a year now.

  • When they order pizza at CERN it always comes 30 before they order it...

  • I must admint... i came for the sexy chick :P

  • هههههه

  • until appr.20-25" it seems like audio is completely missing, except some voices or natural noises

  • There is always a scientist to think up a new way to destroy ourselves. Nukes, directed energy, HAARP, strangelets...whatever did mankind do before the wonderful input of scientists? Oh yeah, survive.

  • @yuefo Before scientists? Well Crusades, Inquisition, Trojan Horse, Burning Of Library of Alexandria... we are pretty good at destruction... we just getting bigger bang for the buck now..

    Hmmm at .42 and .52 a lot of RED boxes on that screen... not looking good

    At 2:48 he says 'nothing to worry about" but they sure look worried :D

  • @yuefo You wouldn't be able to bitch about scientists online if it wasn't for scientists. So far nukes have destroyed far fewer lives than sticks and stones. Nuclear medicine has kept millions alive.

  • These fucks actually built a proton bomb...can't wait for a big bang

  • was that a blue and black motorcycle jacket at 3:39?

  • 0:30 OPEN THE FUCK UP DOOR!

  • If she says SEQUENCE once more, ill go there and burn the place

  • lol at the comments on the quantum physics girl being delicous! who isn't attracted to brainy girls who aren't ugly?

  • chick @ 1:35 i would hit that she could talk about my particles all she wants while i ram that ass..

  • Among the mind-blowingly trivial comments I can be bothered to read here, ie those on this page, what is disturbing if Windows is being used? I know that the CERN scientists use UNIX or Linux and I strongly suspect that these operating systems are reserved for all mission critical operations.

  • @jesuisjamaiscontent Well, then it's not that trivial--it sounds like the people at CERN agree with the comments: don't use Windows where it matters.

  • Read my comment Greg5566

  • Uh, I did. Proof: I replied to it. Do you have something to actually say?

  • What's an ern ontrol enter?

  • @greg5566 It's an enter that ontrols erns.

  • Ooohhh, I see now, it ontrols the erns of the large hadron ollider?

    (can you believe I got two negative thumbs for that message? What's wrong with people!)

  • @greg5566 Welcome to YouTube.

  • Or is it welcome to the human race.

  • Do you see the Cs in front of it?

    CERN Control Centre. Centre stand for center in French.

    I gave you a thumb up to get rid of your thumbs down lol :)

  • Centre is British English!!!

  • @mohgdeisat I agree, unfortunately CERN is not located in Britain and that is why I have said it is French spelling and could be British as well.

  • @mohgdeisat How come those swiss fucks let British built this under their feet is beyond me...I would be fucking scared to sleep at night knowing that this is underneath my house...WTF

  • @transfoby who the fuck told a dumb fuck like you that it was built by the british?

  • I need to go and eject a dump, and flush it down a black hole!

  • Am I the only one saddened by seeing the pretty girl and next showing a guy holding onto his lips with his thumb and finger?

  • I was saddened by the fact that she said "dumps" and "dry runs".

  • I know! I also wanted to see his face without anything blocking it.

    Hopefully he features more prominently in the next video.

  • Comment removed

  • why???

  • People have pointed out the disturbing fact that windows is being used, but I found something even more disturbing.

    At 4:06

    The guy in the black shirt and shorts, looks like Pauly Shore, in the movie Biodome.

  • I Love Hot Nerd Chicks! :P

  • @HEROofANGELES These fucks look like amateurs

  • @HEROofANGELES

    yeah i love to fuck them more :D

  • Speaking of Dry Run Sequences, that was like the onomatopoetic equivalent for video descriptions.

    What if you THOUGHT you were doing a dry run, but you weren't and someone's noggin was in the collision area?

    Squiggly lines? Check. Seemingly bored scientists?  Check. Shorts? You guys get to wear shorts?!?! I'm in! And I'm guessing it's air conditioned too. Yay! Where do I sign up to create a black hole that will devour the earth thereby simultaneously proving EVERY prophet correct?

  • So does the damn thing WORK or not?...

  • No it doesn't, during the first collision a man eating dragon came out of the collider and ate the scientists. So, it will take a while to figure out what caused this.

  • I hate when that happens...I'll send them over a pack of dragon-b-gone post-haste*

  • It works, it's just a question of whether it will find the (behold... dun dun dun!) GOD PARTICLE!!!!!!

    Higgs Boson is one wild guy! :P

  • LOL they have a better chance of finding a sperm in a snow storm then finding a particle that created the universe...I wont hold my breath*

  • When Lord Higgs Boson returns and the Armageddon battle begins, you will rue the day you said that!

    Seriously, you should probably begin ruing now, to get a head start...

  • LMAO! hahahahaha, yes

  • i laughed.

  • i smash my particles with my girlfriends particles all the time i never saw a black hole except for the one she already has???? they could of gave me that 6 billion

  • BSOD? The only sign of Windows that i saw in this was on a lappy—which is certainly not an integral part of the system. :)

    Windows is ridiculously unsuitable for such an incredibly time-critical application. It's fine for a lot of things; but its timing and process management are way too sloppy for this.

  • I hope they never find the Higg's Boson and REALLY have to rewrite all the textbooks.

    Wouldn't that be something to throw in both the face of the Standard Model and all these unified field theories?

    Maybe we'll discover that space itself is a field or something equally unexpected. These experiments will either give us entirely new insights into the nature of matter and energy, or confirm what we already accept as true to be irrefutable.

    P.S. Anyone hear the Nokia ringtone at about 1:08?

  • They go and fry a load of super conducting magnets during the test!

    Was that a bad omen or start to fore shadow how naive humanity still is about the Universe in which we live?

    I'm betting on the 'Moving Dimensions Theory' as being more correct over the much vetted standard model theory.

  • hey i put up information on nikola teslas wireless energy system if you are interested. this device is way safer and better than the lhc, and would save this planet if built on a large scale. wireless industrial energy and internet! please check it out! they should be making systems like this with billions of dollars instead of smashing atoms.

  • While interesting, what the heck does tesla's system have to do with the LHC? The LHC isn't a power plant, it uses power to conduct tests.

  • alls i am saying is if they are going to spend billions, make teslas wireless energy system and give the whole earth wireless free energy. anyone on the earth can get energy by connecting to the earth like an antenna, but industrial energy and internet will be world wide at any point and more importantly the energy is faster than light!!! i put up info if you are interested, its sooo important!

  • does no one notice that over 20 of those computers are running WindowsXP?... blue screens anyone?

  • You: Run.. Internet Explore.exe

    Vista: Are you sure you want to do that?

    You: I just double clicked didn't I?

    Vista: I just stopped the program from changing a registry key, let it continue?

    Vista: Gee, I dunno.. should I trust a program that CAME with the system.

    5 Minutes later..

    Vista: I stopped Firefox, should I let it start?

    You: Pull gun out

    While vista is pretty and sparkly, we all know it sucks donkey nuts. Stop acting like XP sucks, because xp gives good computer users room to work.

  • Will it actually work? There will be thousands of normally static protons, weighting 2000 times more than light speed electrons in the accelerator at one time gaining infinite mass and gravity as they approach light speed. Time should stop should it not? Maybe its really a time machine?

  • yup they going to fuck up anyway...they have to fuck up just to get it right!!!

  • That's fundamentally true about everything right? We learn by fucking up.

  • lol i think they need more monitors

  • the first 1½ minutes are just like an intro to a red allert game ;D

  • I lol'd.

  • "Preparing to fire the beam."

    "We will destroy the capitalist scum!"

    "Oh no you wont!"

  • capitalism is human nature

  • wrong. its the jewish nature.

  • jews dont have a distinctive nature

  • they had like a bajillion dollars to make the LHC, and they had like 50$ to buy a camera for this video?

    was this shot with an i phone?

  • haha hey at least they are putting the cash where it belongs.

  • Is she using Linux?

  • nice audio track, great soundscape too.

  • Amen bro =P.... It's the best opportunity for science and I get so pissed off when I hear or read people complaining because they're gonna die because of the LHC... I agree... I'm checking for any news from CERN...

  • Well, you do know 98% of people die anyway.

  • 98% of all people eventually die, yes. :)

  • Funny, these people don't look like characters from the tv show, "The Big Bang". The tv is a window to the world as the dumb jock sees it.

  • wow, you sure are bitter....did the "dumb jocks"(aka those who had girlfriends, lol) make fun of you in school. You do know it's possible for one to enjoy and/or play sports and to be quite intelligent.....now you sound like the dumb jock to me.

  • Yeah, you're right, there's no such thing as dumb jocks.

    Fail.

  • Both sides are making way too big a deal over this. No, this experiment is not going to consume the earth in a black hole. Period. Neither is it going to send us leaps and bounds into the future of technology, and cure cancer. It's just another experiment that will either prove or disprove a current hypothesis regarding quantum forces and the way the universe works. Exciting?  Yes. Practical applications in today's world. Not so much.

  • This experiment will help us create conditions such for nuclear fusion between hydrogen and helium to create water and energy as well as providing a possible energy source from annhilation between matter and anti-matter. If we could use this on a commercial level, we can develop a green energy. :)

  • it's possible that it can create a blackhole but the chance is teeny weeny tincy wincy. think of a speck of dust on a spack of dust on a spack of dust on a peice of dirt on a ladybugs wing on a leaf...the first spack is how small the chance is :)

    (not to scal, terms and conditions may aply when paying by credit card. The company is not responsible for how many big macs you eat and sorry about this random bit at the end)

  • Besides, this small black hole would evaporate immediataly (explained by quantum physics).

  • Taking into consideration that in the universe there are sources of particles with much higher energies than LHC can provide, I would say that Hawking radiation is pretty much proven. Otherwise all the matter would be swallowed by black holes already. Including Earth because upper atmosphere is being bombarded by such particles all the time.

  • Either that or 'tiny' black holes cannot exist.

  • I actually hope they create a black hole. Mainly, because black holes at such a small mass would emit numerous particles of all varieties, so we could identify most known particles in the universe. Additionally, small black holes could have practical purposes (i.e. we could use hawking radiation to harvest energy).

  • you're funny! NOT

  • some of you people are retarded, you really think that we are going to get sucked in by a black hole? It would be impossible, black holes let of a radiation, the smaller the hole, the stronger the radiation, if they made a black hole it would almost istantaneosly dissapear under the force of its own radiation, partilcals collide with our atmosphere all of the time creating tiny black holes, we are in no danger what so ever.

  • I don't think you fully understand the process of the LHC. This machine is speeding up protons to 99% of the speed of light, and then colliding them. BOTH particles are traveling at this speed when they collide, causing an unimaginable amount of energy. Particles colliding with earth don't have anywhere near this velocity. This is a completely different scenario.

  • "Neutrinos are elementary particles that travel close to the speed of light" "Most neutrinos passing through the Earth emanate from the sun, and more than 50 trillion solar electron neutrinos pass through the human body every second." -Wikipedia

  • They may "pass" but they are not FORCED to collide.

  • "causing an unimaginable amount of energy."

    14 TeV is the energy in the collision.

    Which is actually a very small amount of energy, you couldn't light an LED with it.

    "Particles colliding with earth don't have anywhere near this velocity."

    The most powerful Cosmic Ray detected was at about 3 billion TeV, which really puts the LHC to shame.

  • icheatatgolf you got roflpwned

  • it may not power an LED but if you collided two baseballs at that speed if would destroy most if not all of the Earth

  • "it may not power an LED but if you collided two baseballs at that speed if would destroy most if not all of the Earth"

    If you were somehow able to accelerate a baseball to 99% of the speed of light.. then yes it would make a big boom.

    A proton is just a bit smaller and lighter than a baseball thankfully.

  • That may be true but we are talking about fundamental particles here and not baseballs.

    So I fail to see the relevance of your input in this discussion about the amount of energy involved in colliding fundamental particles moving with the speed of light?

  • Why all this bloatware? All they need is to take a picture of a collision, make an interpretation of it, then disamble LHC and recycle the junk. :-D

  • All this bloatware because some people actually care about science. The last time I checked, the music industry didn't create the iPhone, scientists did. Same goes for any piece of technology you have. The media, pop culture, and all of those things had nothing to do with it. Mostly everything that you, ciderman, take for granted every day.. was due to some sort of science being discovered and harnessed to better mankind. That's why all this bloatware.

  • ... nearly all advances in science are due to capitalism so iphone was possibly because the music industry allowed it to happen

  • Comment removed

  • also iphone dose not better man kind lol

  • its more than bloatware, this type of tech is toxic to the human condition and it won't last

    a techno collapse is eminent, the question is when, it took Rome 300 years to collapse after it strayed from its fundamentals.

  • Rome collapsed for many many reasons... Most importantly, were politics and society. Technology is unbiased and passive. Rome was a greater civilization than ours, sadly enough... I say we get less time... Hmm, maybe ONE lifetime lol.

  • i think thy r all french

  • So I assume your statement means all 8500 scientists worldwide working on the project, are french?

  • her voice is so annoying

  • so are you

  • black holes don't dissapear, they feed on matter and grow.

  • UMMMM WHY!

  • that tunnel connects france to great britain. that's on the other side of france. so the odds are that there is no connection

  • Are you serious? There was a fire on a freighter, in the tunnel, on the French side. Hmm yeah testing of the first beam could cause this. Not complete bullshit no.

  • They are using Microsoft OS, now I really feel safe :(.

  • so does everyone else who makes anything worth while

  • UNIX :).

  • Used for mission critical operations, they may use Unix in parts of there system that just must work.

  • "so does everyone else who makes anything worth while"

    Did you know that about 61% of all internet servers run UNIX?

  • Quote from

    komododrago - "Can they change the life of dying children?"

    How Ridiculous? Yes, they quite probably will be able to cure dying children after some of the discoveries that will be made at the LHC. Who knows what they will discover! Madame Cure certainly didn't set out to find a cure for cancer but as a byproduct of her experiments she did.

    I'm sure your opposition to the LHC isn't so strong that you will reject any cures or technologies developed from discoveries made there.

  • Das Projekt hat insgesamt 3Mrd € gekostet, beschäftigt mehr als 10.000 Wissenschaftler aus über 70 Nationen. Zudem kommt der gewaltige Wissenszuwachs. Wenn ich Satan lese, Galileo musste seine Aussagen widerrufen weil die Kirche also Gott dem nicht zustimmte. Ohja wie schlimm noch die letzten Geheimnisse der NAtur rauszufinden. Wäre ja echt schlecht zu wissen wieviele Dimensionen es noch gibt.

  • Will the fuel that they produce from this project be leaded or unleaded??? And what about all those poor people who went out and bought diesel engined cars!!!

  • What's the matter between the LHC and fuel ?

  • THIS IS 100% SAFE, stop with all the dumb assumptions like "We are all gonna die!". The phenomena they are re-creating happens every day on earth when high energy rays hit the planet, and it happens with a much higher energy. The only thing that could go wrong is the LHC itself, not what its trying to do.

    there...now stop with the stupid comments. This is about the only intelligent thing we've accomplished yet in the 21st century. (the idea came from the 1990s but hey...)

  • And there are microscopic black holes all around you, but dissapear because there two weak.

  • They said 99.999999999, that leaves a 0.000000001 chance.

  • The continuous 99's typically mean infinitely repeating.. so it would be more like .00000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000001.. The point is that repetative 9's don't mean that the string ends at the last 9 shown.

    Regardless, that's still one billionth of a percent... The equivalent of finding a glass marble in every ocean on earth, with the location chosen at random.

  • they just better make sure that thing is checked like a bunch of times before they do

    that. i know they are all professional scientists and all but thats kinda scary thinking about that going wrong and screwing

    things up for everyone who lives on this planet.. so i hope everything goes good

  • they ran it today.

  • In one direction only and not even at full power, and no its not going to end the world. It could bring about a new understanding of this universe of ours, theirs, someone's . No worry's its all good

  • They know what they are doing or they would not do it, but whats the deal what have they found out?

  • The thing is we are taking a step into the unknown, no one is totaly sure on what could or may happen, good or bad.

  • in fact this a newer accelerator so although more powerful they are quite sure they won´t create so important blackhole to destroy the world or so. they just refer of how physic could change with the new discoveries

  • hmm i'm bored...all of you got good opinions..but uhh...this is absolutely retarded....y'all who think there's going to be a black hole, either take a science class, or go back to 6th grade. please. thank you

  • You guys dont think the scientists took into consideration the dangers in doing this?! You think that if they were REALLY concerned about a black hole developing that they would continue the project? I think you are being stupid about this and think about it, scientists are smarter than you will ever be! If it was a serious risk they wouldnt go on.

  • how about when they split the atom... or when they broke the speed of sound, didn't their insides melt? i dont feel completely confident about this.

  • Man, why aren't you on fire from such burning stupidity? Insides melting from breaking the speed of sound? Have you even heard of Chuck Yeager? The guy broke the sound barrier in 1947, and he IS STILL ALIVE! In fact, he broke the sound barrier AGAIN last year. No melted insides! Imagine that! Oh wait... You don't have enough brain cells knocking together to waste on cogent thought, much less imagination. The only melted insides around are what might have been a brain inside your head.

  • its ok to be defensive! My info was hearsay so i had a feeling it was bull. i'm sure they know what theyre doing really. x

  • they say this machine will produce as much energy as the big bang ! is the instant release of that freaking much energy (even for a nanosecond) equal to a HORRENDOUS explosion????? I mean I know it's not being fed uranium molecules (like the a bomb) but still if particles are moving at light speed .aren't they going to go all through the planet (or at least penetrate until they find other freaking simular proton targets? (I'm sorry folks but I just feel QUEEZY about all this!)

  • about 110 yrs ago nikola tesla discovered high energy particles called cosmic rays first called radiant energy.he used their minute energies to run small lighting device for detection.he also shot electrons and matter at metal plates showing the first particle accellerator collisions in history using metal plates around 1889.i have shown his patented work as the first scientist to find cosmic rays.i also tell you how to build a basic detection device from very basic materials!please check it out

  • my next question is this: WILL the scientists let us know if a black hole has strayed off into our planets core , Do you REALLY think they have thier instruments focused to TRACK these anomilies? I really wonder if they will even know it ...(until gravity's gone)and the black holes (antimatter) are munching away on earths mantle ...einsteins theory will support the existance of the holes (by math calculations) tried and tested! Hawkings radiation (believed to slow the holes)is just theory !

  • Just to stray from the point slightly...... did yo know that patrick moore has actually met einstein! he played violin infront of patric moore. Amazing!

  • according to posted calculations, there is a 7 to 10 % chance that there will be black holes produced....the 'brains " think the high speed ones will fade away due to hawkings radiation slowing them down....however that hawkings radiation theory hasn't been tried and proven! (it's just a theory) The BIG risk (one of several others if you study the "blue sheet" data)is the LOW speed black holes ...they are saying they could migrate to the core of earth and hover there....HMMMMMM..?????

  • Yet another brain-dead ender who doesn't understand how scientists use the word 'theory'. Hint: It's not a mere guess. You'd know that if you had an IQ higher than your shoe size.

  • Even If We Dont Die Its Useless Money To Spend It On A Load Of Metal So We Can See Wat Apened Millions Of Years Ago FFS The Pat If The Past But I Guess Wats Done Is Done Im A Little Disapointed In What They Have Gone And Waisted Money On !

  • Ugh. . .you do realize that what they discover will have profound implications in computing, medicine, environmental science, and just about everything that can help mankind, right? Well, now you do.

  • now everyone think about Chernobyl in 1986 and Cambria 1957.

    In the future it might be LHC in France Switzerland border as part of the list...

    FACT: science can be VERY dangerous

  • FACT: Stupidity is even more dangerous, as you so amply demonstrate.

  • The holocaust, crack, and heroin.

    All created by humans.

    Chernobyl and cambria have nothing to do with this.

  • Baseicly There Paying For Us To Be Killed??

    Why Dont They Spend The Money On Something Good For The World Like Charaty ...??

  • the internet was created at cern..... think about that ;-)....

  • internet was created at cern, well that was just a by-product.

    what if we all get sucked in a hole. will that matter?

  • Actually the World Wide Web was created at CERN, not the Internet.

  • agree with you. I mean nobody will say you had wrong if something would happen.

  • lol dont tell me u actually believe we will all die

  • I hate that nokia ringtone!

  • look up LARGE HADRON RAP (THE REMIX)

  • HAHA, why is everyone so stupid, they know what they want to happen. You all should stop trying to care, theoretical physics is beyond mine and 99.9% of the world's understanding. ianedwards, you realise that they are smashing protons together, not full atoms, and there's no chance of a chain reaction you twat. The rest of us should stop trying to predict what happens, it is so complicated. Though the media are helping to bring physics to the public eye. Wankers.

  • how can a particle so small create hiroshima x100 its perfectly safe lets stop woorying

  • What's the point in this?

    Noone will ever know if they suceed, because we'll all be dead the second it happens...

    An explosion so small, yet hotter than the sun and denser than space, Isn't just going to stop, it'll melt the machines the second it impacts ther other beam. What do they expect to happen?

  • stephen hawkin sed it will be fine so lets just believe him
