Massive Attack Union presents The LHC

[an0nym005e]

what hl2 song is this?

[joeb0]

You've been playing too much half life.

[colonellemon]

I be going there are tuesday!

[dodoslovensko]

great music/expensive stuff= cool.

[greg5566]

That was dumb. The "god particle." The dumb music. The LHC is not "inbetween" Switzerland and France.  There is nothing "inbetween" Switzerland and France--they TOUCH. And it's the HIGGS Boson, not the Higgis boson.

[Nfactor2006]

@greg5566 I know it's the Higgs Boson.

Leon Lederman coined it the "god Particle" but even that was a misquote

The Music is from Half Life 2.

Your not too bright or up on the metaphorical references made in this video are you?

Cern's particle accleration facility spans the border between Switzerland and France. The Large Hadron Collider's 27km circle does inparticular

I love naive people, it's time to hit the bricks youngster

lol

Rob

[greg5566]

Yes, you know it's the higgis boson, except for the fact that it's not. Search for "higgis boson" on google, it will say, "did you mean Higgs Boson?" and lead you to a wikipedia page about . . . the Higgs boson.

I don't know who higgis is, but he had nothing to do with the boson or the LHC.

[greg5566]

@Nfactor2006 wait, haha, what did you do, correct yourself after you realized I was right?!

[greg5566]

@Nfactor2006 Yes, dude, I know where the LHC is. That's how I know it's not "inbetween" France and Switzerland. As I said, NOTHING is "inbetween" them, as they touch. It's your English I was correcting. Something like "it straddles the border between Switzerland and France" would have been correct. (or "spans" is okay too.)

[greg5566]

@Nfactor2006 I didn't say anything about where the music is from.  I said it sucks.

[greg5566]

@Nfactor2006 Okay, so listen, dummy, you corrected me incorrectly twice, that makes four times you've been wrong in a very brief space of time. Are you going to keep doubling down? Or are you going to do what you did here, correct the mistake and pretend it never happened? Or man up, and say, "oh yeah, thanks for the correction. I appreciate it when people smarter than I help me out"?

[greg5566]

@Nfactor2006 Also, one last thing, I didn't ask who said "god particle." I said it was dumb. (That makes six by my count. In one message!)

[Nfactor2006]

the feeling I was getting originally from the comment was your were angry about historical mistake in calling it "The God Particle"

That's just a headgraber in the first place for the video and the mythos about the Higgs Boson in gerenal.

Your preception of the video's material should have caught that.

sorry my grammar offended your quick enjoyment of a my youtube video.

I'll make sure to run a more through spell check nect time just for you Greg.

[Nfactor2006]

If you read about Peter Higgs and his team at Cern, he is the instrumental part of the field theory since he challenged the Goldstone Theorem.

Sometimes getting published first is everything.

Look at String theory, you think Gabriele Veneziano gives all the credit to Leonhard Euler for finding the theoretical primitive string theory?

Not exactly, given the nature of theoretical physics

Watch his debates here on YouTube. There should be some with him and his team. Very Educational..

Rob

[greg5566]

@Nfactor2006 I love that you keep trying to lecture me on who Higgs is, trying to pretend you're teaching me something about Higgs. Meanwhile your description of the video STILL says the higgis boson! hahaha

[Nfactor2006]

I'll fix the Higgis "error" shortly, I just hope you get the reason for my video was to get people interested in the LHC and the Higgs Boson, among other things being researched there.

It piqued your interest tho, even if you're grammar whore on the internet. lol

Rob

[greg5566]

If it will make you happy to think your video piqued my interest, I won't interfere with that.

But it's the large hadron rap, and the one with the british narrator that piqued my interest. I thought yours dumbed it down, and went the wrong way by calling it the "god particle." Don't interest people by playing into their ignorance. Show them there's another way. The LHC is interesting because it's the biggest, most complex machine humans have ever made, and because of what it's designed to do.

[l0rd0f0blivi0n]

@Nfactor2006

it was originally named the god-damned particle, but the media latched onto 'the god particle', and that's what stuck.

[LordEthan2]

fuck, who chose this song it like fits this vid perfectly.

[sergeant07]

song?

[bennydahan]

I love the half life sound track. So appropriate :)

[ToSimpanPouAgapisa]

what song is that?

[DevonRe]

Haha you're so un-informed.. You'd need an LHC with a length equal to the milky way's circunference to run the smallest risk!

Cosmic rays hit the earth every moment... Please people stop bubbling junk man isn't so intelligent to build something that would really create a black hole!

[highintel]

This is what the Macrobes told the Sons of the Serpent. They had to learn to open something in space. First to learn this they had to make energy from matter which they did with the Atom Bomb 1947. Now they can learn how to do the opposite. Energy into matter 2008. Now humans can pass through the web in the sky and explore other planets in person. But also others will be able to come in as well. Maybe that's what will happen 2012? The other studies are a cover for the real reason it was built.

[zack1e]

Haha, Half-Life 2 music.

Wheres Gordon Freeman?! xD

[WhosAlex]

hes

BEHIND YOU

AAHGAG

[AbdullaDXB]

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

[threein4]

lern 2 hawking radiation

[WhosAlex]

They do disapeer

as soon as they finish eating you

because that is their #1 mission

Eat

You

[Marnerbanana]

nooooooooooo!

*chomp*

[Madchimpz]

This is NOT an exciting time for me.. It's a time of anxiety, worry, and stress. I hate how inconsiderate these fuckers are being..

Why couldn't they do this after I died?

[Nfactor2006]

Don't worry, what they'll find out and discover will change the world. So rest easy

Rob

[Madchimpz]

Then please tell me I don't have to worry about 2012 either..

[Fiercefighter2]

Why would you have anxiety about this? you cant stop it so why bother worrying? if they make a black hole then they make a black hole, we all die eventually anyways.

[Madchimpz]

There is a difference between living the rest of my life and "dying eventually".. I didn't go to school for 14 years just to die in October of 2008.

[AnduinX]

The movie correctly states that if cosmic rays could create micro black holes they would pass through the earth, barely interacting with anything and retaining their speed. This is because most of what we call matter on earth is 'empty space' and extremely tiny sub-atomic particles can pass through planets and stars without interacting with everything.

[AnduinX]

However! Neutron stars are a different story. They have more mass than our sun and are compacted into a space roughly 10 kilometers in diameter. They're so dense that any cosmic ray that attempted to pass through them would interact and come to a halt for sure. Therefore is micro black holes from cosmic ray level energies or below were a problem there would be NO neutron stars in the universe because they would all have collapsed into black holes.

[AnduinX]

Therefore there is no danger from micro black holes because neutron stars exist for long periods of time. The quantum vacuum collapse is ridiculous as well. Collisions of much higher energy go on all the time all over the universe and none of them have triggered a vacuum collapse. It's not physically possible.

[AnduinX]

As for strangelets:

"RHIC has now run for eight years, searching for strangelets without detecting any. At times, the LHC will run with beams of heavy nuclei, just as RHIC does. The LHCs beams will have more energy than RHIC, but this makes it even less likely that strangelets could form."

[Bugstomper2]

Yes the RHIC is more likely to produce Stranglets than the LHC, because it has lower energy impacts, and is therefore cooler. Making a Stranglet has been likened to making Ice form in hot water. There have been two recorded incidents of possible Stranglets travelling through Earth, at 900,000mph, unimpeded. But those made in a Particle Accelerator would not escape Earth's gravity well.

[ytmoog]

"There have been two recorded incidents of possible Stranglets travelling through Earth, at 900,000mph, unimpeded."

A 'strangelet' is a large heavy charged particle similar in size to a Proton, it could be stopped easily by a sheet of paper.

Any produced by cosmic rays could not possible pass through the earth so I suspect your suspected sightings were not.

[AnduinX]

...because the RHIC collider has already been running for many years and not produced any strangelets, they will not be a problem either.

"It is difficult for strange matter to stick together in the high temperatures produced by such colliders, rather as ice does not form in hot water. In addition, quarks will be more dilute at the LHC than at RHIC, making it more difficult to assemble strange matter."

Strangelet production is impossible.

[r1x00n]

anybody know the name of the song ?

Nice vid

[Nfactor2006]

It's from the Half Life 2 Soundtrack, the track I believe is Combine Relocating

[Fiercefighter2]

hey iv been playing through half life 2 lately haha, it really is fitting music tho, imagine the LHC made an incident like at black mesa? that would be intense :P

[pilwas]

yehaaa HL game i reality nice nice mr freeman will come and save as all :D

[TheMovieMaker123]

its important to remember this has been done before, just never on this scale.

[boxa888]

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

[Ohkto]

MovieMaker, I like your view of things, and agree with your point, but actually this sort of has been done. Cosmic rays have been doing what is essentially the same thing. The only difference is that the LHC will be controlling things much more precisely, and will be watching more closely.

[iamnorth123]

the world wont end will it?

[Nfactor2006]

I think we'll be ok, don't worry

[juanrocks2001]

yea but were ganna be dead when it happend lol so no need to worry

[izlude2]

i want it to throw us into backwater times. :P heh heh heh...  or end up looking like the future in the game chrono trigger.

[DannyJHax]

Many say this device will create stable singularities! They fear it but I say: One step closer to my dream of using targeted artificial singularities to destroy alien planets en masse... muahahah... here comes the Imperium of Man! 100% alien free! At very least a great way to stop needing landfills to dispose of junk. Still I bet the higgs-boson doesn't exist, just because it would be too convenient.

[Nfactor2006]

I don't think it has the power to create a singularity. That's quite an imaginative way to thing about it's uses. heh

Rob

[DannyJHax]

Likely not, it probably will do nothing at all but cost money! However the number of people on youtube who are posting about it being a singularity-creating, satan-bringing, end-of-world machine far exceed those hoping for a revealed or disproved higgs-boson particle, I was more joking about them...lol. Wish we could create singularities though :( that would be very amazing.

[sludemage]

Yeh but matter can never be infinitely destroyed so all that useless crap has to round up somewhere. Oh and by crap I mean the trash.

[affluence8]

Its God. It's all in the Bible.

[HDApollo]

CERN ist so geil!!!

[metazero911]

nice sounds like half life music

[Nfactor2006]

you'd be right heh
