The First Proton Proton Collision at LHCb November 23, 2009

[desgis]

The guy is amazed about the proton proton collision, the little girl is amazed of how much hair she has

[amunramenoodle]

Just don't allow GLaDOS to run the place...

[hitokiri657]

OMG o.O ... Data !!! *drools*

[7orqu3]

its funny the way you start liking astronomy as a child to grow up into cosmology and then inevitably end up at particle physics ha ha.

look all this takes time and something good will come out of it, who is to say that the stable anit-hydrogen atoms created in cern wont go on the change the way we produce energy in the future ?

[elchicodelasdonas]

holy shit!!! is sooooo boooooring!!! is hiper mega ultra super booooooooring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[henrykitoy007]

i salute to the great scientist they are superb and continously discovering advance science and technology

[Matagonzo]

Cómo me gustaría entender qué carajo pasó en este video

[JosephKrammer]

Después de una pausa debido a problemas con el equipo, el LHC, el día 23 de Noviembre de 2009, se registró el primer "choque" de protones.

El proceso es llamado reacción "pp" (proton-proton), donde dos protones chocan para crear un nuevos elementos: 1H + 1H [colisión] = 2H. [Dos protiums al colisionar crean deuterium].

En este video no se creó nada, solo se observaron y registraron los choques.

[jean1126]

'kay.. what info have we gleened from this and where is MORE updated info ...like when are we gonna try this again, actual results?

[55t1]

The methodical stepwise approach to increasing the beam energy is the correct way to go. 7 TeV collisions will produce certainly exciting and possibly surprizing results. This collider is going to take us on quite a ride into the unknown, and it's going to be fantastic.

[TheChilly77]

so you collided protons but then what ? Did any particles appear or are we not allowed to know until it is controlled and sold??

[mfb0]

They had just a few collisions with low energy - you can't find new physics with that. They just checked if they understand the detector with the "old" physics.

After one year of operation, we'll know more.

[menthol5]

Excellent stuff. Ever since I took physics, I've been totally fascinated by particle physics. IF THE US had built the super conducting collider in Texas. There would terms like, "big-ass", "little-ass" and "some tiny shit"to define

[leahcimrac]

Very exciting indeed. I hope Dark Energy, Matter and other important issues will be explained in my life time. I really want to know whats going on in the universe.

[au79scorpion]

What was the cross section size?

And what was the break down,inelastic-single diffractive-elastic, of the protons in question?

[au79scorpion]

Nice job :-)

[Lowlightindicator]

So, it finally works, but its still just an epic engineering project.

Time to turn the dial to 11 and see what space is made out of....

[ventilize]

@Lowlightindicator i bet you with all the 'power' that they and everyone' thinks' that there is i bet yuo there still isnt enough juice to figure out the universe and all the knowledge there in. (just my thoughts tho)

[randy13209]

a group of you messed up the intelligent comments string.

[NiGhtMarEs0nWax]

Please guys in future report any kind of hate speech or degrading morons like KungFuMil; because youtube has a good thing going here; with education and some really interesting content; dont let these ignorant kids destroy it for the rest of us.

[NiGhtMarEs0nWax]

someone should make a tube site based around education/technology and science. youtube is full of ungreatful little idiots; looking at these comments in comparison to this video; it appears there are two distinct types of human beings; those who care; and those who are too stupid to care.

[Hornet85]

Congratz to everyone at LHC

[hairytroosers]

what are you takling about kungfu

[hairytroosers]

eh?

[Eltimple]

Waste

[Eltimple]

steorn found the ou with loose change, These bods just want an easy life til the funds dry up

[oneheroclass]

yh a big ban machine wont save you from your destiny

[kramnosdivad]

Although I'm very curious to see what they find, I have to admit I'd never have approved the LHC if it were up to me. What we really need are evaluations of alternative energy proposals. Spend the money on that.

[shon9514]

What? What do you think they are looking for....and do you know what they/we will be able to do when and if they find it? If they find the Higgs Boson, it will be like e = mc2 all over again, they most likely will be ablt to provide a new kind of more efficient energy from the vast amount of information the Higgs Boson will provide us once they find it. Alternative energy will be only one benefit of finding Higgs Boson....the money is spent wisely. Peace.

[Isanion]

ill QQ when they commission a science experiment that costs substantially more than 1% of the US annual defence spending total

[lazer1235]

imagine colliding the protons of cheese XD

[loonycake]

LOOOL

[drdejanm]

What about the proton of marijuana?

[animalnt]

or how about, crack heads stop watching these videos? its just confusing you even more..

[drdejanm]

Not to me, I understand almost everything, if you do not understand something you can find explanations on their mail web site and on twitter!

[Zee96969696]

maybe perhaps they figure out how to create gold from dust or something like that, or at least i hope one of them understands what they are doing, it sure beats the hell out of me, i aint got a clue whats goin on

[Taamati]

Congratulations guys!

[usblueflyer]

YAAAY! Call me when you get to 'time travel'!!

[neilanboy]

Fools playing God. Play with fire.......

[DarthTanner]

and you cook your food and scare off the predators.

[Sebtastical]

play with fire, you will learn to cook foods so to be edible, boil water so it's drinkable, melt substances for shaping into tools, create light to be safe from predators, and generally help create civilsation. sorry to sound a bit, preechy, but im trying to help you understand. :)

[PepePL89]

At least you're playing your role well.

[adzii1]

When are they doing the 99.9%speed of lgiht collision?

[PepePL89]

Every collision is at this speed. Object traveling close to speed of light, when given more energy, doesn't go faster but it gets heavier. Heavier object = more energy durning collision. So it's not about how fast they go but how heavy protons get before they're smashed.

[Zee96969696]

are u sure, couse i think its about how fast they are going

[PepePL89]

I'm sure. If you don't believe me check out the video called "how does the LHC work". Protons in LHC are given so much energy that they get 1000 times heavier. They get close to the speed of light really soon, then they only grow in mass.

[PepePL89]

Sorry, they're 7000 times heavier than in the begining and they get to 99.99% of the speed of light even before they enter the main ring(watched video again:P)

[shatteredgear]

anyone know where i can get the background music it sounds nice

[robrazor]

seconded

[Sebtastical]

It just shows how little the media cared about the science and how much they care about hype. lol when it was new it was exciting but now the science begins they never even mention it! im still confused though so much has been trialed and now they say its not full in use until febuary?

[DjGisME]

they may have just unlocked intergallactic travell milestone

[adzii1]

did they do it at speed of light full speed? cause the yalready colldied at like half or 1/4 speed

[HiAdrian]

@adzii1: They're always very close to the speed of light, 1/4th of maximum design performance would maybe mean 99.995% instead of 99.999995. 100% C cannot be reached by a particle of mass.

[InwormsKDS]

hmmm where the "Big Explode"??? haha

[ellysvin]

sono riusciti far andare in collisione dei protoni solari giusto?...

ma questo significa che si potrebbe sfruttare la loro energia???? cè qualcuno che mi spiega please...

[JmSantos78]

Keep bangin' them protons guys!

[sirachides]

But the entusiasm go along with stupidity, and in this uncontrollable hurry of showing up, I fear - as physicist - that something is going to fuck up again.

While you drink your champagne you do not remind yourself how much money have been used and how inefficient the process of building LHC and its detectors have been.

It's your job and you have barely done it, that's what a serious company would say. This general excitement make no sense to me.

Enjoy kids.

[DarthTanner]

dam these people and their human emotions, where are the slave masters! back to the oars you peasants, WHIP WHIP

[sirachides]

I understand the willingness of drinking champagne the pride of having achieved this goal after a long waiting and efforts: the truth is that most of the physicists are behaving in a unprofessional way: they more less look as a bunch of kids playing with a big toy.

[rollsthepaul]

This is just foreplay; the big event is scheduled for Feb.

[stantheman42069]

did they find the higgs bosen omfg i am so damn exsited

[worldwidedownload]

Could have done with a bit more information but yeah good suff.

[eddieep]

agree, more info would be nice.

[teenee4]

now for the "God" particle

[Docs209]

I was up a scaffolding in the uk when this happened,i was having a sly 10 mins break.

All of a sudden my boss appeared behind me and told me to get back to work.I recon hes using the lhc to jump round the building site and keep all the workers on thier toes.

Bastard.

[asswnk]

if this ever creates a runaway black hole, at least i get to see france and germany get sucked into oblivion first lololololololol

[eduardo00178]

I hope Carl Sagan is watching this moment, wherever he is.

[holycatsbatman]

@eduardo00178 Probably not, but we can watch for him.

[phffeir]

the future discovery of the 'god particle' was never a means to find out if god exists, its just kind of an idiom whose discovery would explain why we even have a physical world to begin with, rather than exist in a world that's literally made of nothing but light

[Mistaarnold]

just kidding

[Mistaarnold]

So does god exist?

[ueks69]

Fantastic brave new world

[vexatuvex]

celebrating with champagne in plastic glasses for such an accomplishment. Bravo.

[woodpod]

I have just cummed all inside my pants.

[iamkira666]

Wuju!!!

[GuillaumeThekkadath]

Congrats

[woodpod]

WELL DONE TO CERN!!!!!!!

[Malk007]

great o/

[joejames007]

Epic! Now the LHC is ready to unveil some of the puzzles of our cosmos.

[1RadicalOne]

Finally!

[BlackCoalGuitar]

LHCb EPIC WIN!

[tareqjj]

ok.....then what will happen from your point ?

say they found it....... will it help in producing energy ?

[Cyrathil]

Why does it have to lead to helping produce energy? From an increased knowledge of how the universe works, who knows what we will learn, and how it will end up influencing us. Not all science has to have an immediate application to be useful...

[djuforeo]

Collision win. Champagne fail.

[twistswitch]

Whats with the background music. Isn't this supposed to be scientific?

[tareqjj]

so how can this help out ??

[ONIrecon111]

because they finally got it working again, they can now look into finding this theoretical 'god particle', which is supposed to be the beginning of everything, and only existed for fractions of a second in the big bang.

[narutojinrasengan]

The "God Particle" is actually the HIgss Boson. It is not supposed to be the beginning of everything, it is in fact theorized to be the "Giver of Mass" to all particles by creating a field that "holds" onto certain particles, like Quarks, better than others, like Photons, therefor giving some mass, and leaving others massless. It exists all around us (assuming the theory is right) but its so massive we need way more energy than any other accelerator to create, and therefore detect it.

[teachmehow2dance]

Job well done.

What else can I say? Keep it up.

btw the girl is soo sweet. :)

[Human4D]

congratulations to everyone @ CERN

[simoncpu]

Lucky kid. She doesn't know how important this event is.

[RaLLenheimer]

congreatulations Cern - this is awsome,i cant wait to hear of some results/discoverys !

[RunsWitGuns]

these fuckin cocksuckers

[kvj4]

congrats guys can we get the data

[IanBillings00]

If you watch one of the older GoogleTechTalks (that's the YT channel) about CERN and their data processing procedure, the woman in charge of I believe data processing for the ALICE detector says that they will be taking so much data (something like 10mb of data per collision, at full capacity there will be ~1 collision every nanosecond or something rediculous), that they will be sending streams to Universities over the globe. But they will mask the data so only they can claim discoveries.

[bogroman13]

Good, good, VERY WELL WORKED, guys !!!

Keep working !! [ BUT CAREFULLY !!! PLEASE !!! ]

[defect530]

\o/ \o/ hip hip hurray  \o/ \o/

[TankT9]

Looks like future begins today, cant wait for new discovery's. Go LHC!))

[GordonWolters]

I propose that the day they isolate the Higs boson, we reset the calendars, a new age of humanity will have began.

[TheOddFinn]

Totally agree! We should start counting years before and after the discovery of Higgs boson if they find it. At least I will personally.

[ionerror]

Humankind should be gratefull for your work. Thank You!!! ( :

[DaDaWgLLS]

Time to get STINKING DRUNK!

[niiidar]

Yay!

GO LHC!

[coryboy6]

Great job CERN! We've been following you on Twitter.

[thegadgetdude]

Excellent! can't wait to see what they find once they start ramming up the power.

[lordedvard8]

big black holes? :D

[thegadgetdude]

haha

[Envergure]

It's scary how pale that little girl is.

[feuchster]

it's the camera/lighting

[Michael4009]

She is my Grandmother, they got it backwards and found the dog particle years ago in the decade undone.

KLAATU BARADA NIKTO!!

All your olfactory are belong to us!

(Never should have let them plug in that ROM game module.)

[32937isready]

The little green men will follow.

[leninstreet]

finally

[LikeAPossum]

You're a waste of carbon.

[gixxer4646]

Sorry for your loss.

[DiarmaidGNR]

You do realize that this technology could be the answer to the energy "crisis", and could explain where the laws of physics come from.

[omegavalerius]

I once visited CERN and on the way back from the facility to the center of Geneva an elderly professor tried to get on the bus. I say tried because he couldn't quite figure out how the bus ticket machine works. I thought to myself that if this professor is doing something worthwhile in CERN I don't really care about his lack of common sense. The bus driver however seemed like he had seen this scenario a few times too often and rushed out to help in a frustrated manner.

[pauldonald]

its pretty because the guy was too use to driving around in his bugatti veyron

[Mostdef]

I'm having trouble understanding how much of a big deal this is

[Krumbz2003]

Arguably the biggest deal in the history of the human race?

Yeah. It's a big deal for sure.

[Mostdef]

@cphdotdk

sorry if my comment is misleading I'm not religious at all I just didn't fully understand what was accomplished

[cphdotdk]

@ mostdef

Well, what was accomplished?

It's a big step for CERN. That's what the LHC was built for - to able to collide protons.

That had some problems earlier this year and seemed that after the restart and the test the 23rd. things are going the right way.

[toyracers]

there are several goals for the LHC.. one of which is understanding fusion energy, understanding all matter (higgs boson), and confirming physics theories

[EmanuelHoogeveen]

And world record proton acceleration already.. can't wait to see what we get for Christmas :)

[timabad]

socks and underwear

[valhala56]

I'm sure the Santa's at the LHC will smash some matter-antimatter in blink out the Universe. That is what I would call a CHRISTMAS PRESENT!

[Celeon999A]

@valhala56

Well, for that they would need to create a whole second universe made of antimatter.

Im not sure if CERN has access to the infinite energy source this would require. :-D

And even if they would , they would have to create in a split second what took the last 13,7 billion years to become what it is now and that inside a collider that is....let me make a guess.... as big as a few billion galaxies. :-D

So i think the Grinch is still the bigger threat to christmas LOL
