Actually, another standard physics particle believed to exist that hasn't been discovered yet is the graviton, the boson that "gives objects gravity."
@sierralovescody Ummm... YEAH! If we can figure out how to control gravity, we can figure out how to warp the space-time continuum. That literally means we could travel through time artificially, travel across the universe in an instant, and establish exo-solar-system space colonies.
Could you please add captions? At least for the guys at CERN because the sound quality is lower on those parts. I had to rewatch those sections a few times to understand them (I have auditory processing issues).
If they succeed to create a Higgs boson, since they are supposed to be existing on even density all over the universe, will it not create an uneven number of H.boson in the LHC and so change accordingly the mass of all things around it in kind of a chain reaction... all of that close to the 21st of december ? xD
For everyone who wants to know a bit more about the Higgs boson and the Higgs field: Enter "quantum diaries" in the google search and look for the post "All on the Higgs for (nearly) everyone".
It's a short (and not so hard to understand), but accurate summary by someone who actually works at the CERN.
@Cherrys0and0Lemons 2 of those were in the same group, & the other 2 were completely different... If you want him to do a show on fundamental particles, then you are looking for a show about quarks, leptons, & bosons. If you want about the components of an atom's nucleus, then you want a show about protons & neutrons which, themselves, are composed of quarks & gluons. Or you could have a general show about the overview of atomic structure. It would be difficult to have all of those together.
It sounds like they are trying to prove a mythical creature exists. They should search for a unicorn next as I feel the general public would be more satisfied with the search of that than a strange Higgs Boson.
If everything we know about physics if probably false but, the standard model of what they believe the Higgs Boson will look like will probably exist...
We talked about this in my science class. We were supposed to be learning about why buildings were built like they are. This is why I love science class. And Nerdfighters and the Vlogbrothers.
Physicists may be familiar that the speed of light was just broken by a neutrino gone bad. Really? Nope. It turns out that there was a LOOSE CABLE, which caused a malfunction in the measurements. So time travellers and particle physicists, we're wrong once again. Congratulations Cern, you just turned physics upside-down and re-wrote the laws of physics, and then figured out you made an error. See the article on CBC.ca
2:24 WHA HAH!!! The first thing I EVER remember doing is asking my parents, "Have I always existed? What the heck, did I just wake up out of nowhere?" I did not ask why the sky was blue. For some reason, I already knew that light reflected off the earth and the clouds and the dirt in the sky allowed us to see blue. So my entire life has been why I know the things I know, but I now realize that my true goal is and should always have been to understand "why stuff exists." I thank you deeply, Hank.
Higgs, dark matter, dark energy all ideas that are born of faulty thinking. It's true that nature and truth in physics has an elegance that can be sensed by man. I have always felt confident that the Higgs would not be found, and have been anxious to have it proved so we can get past that. Now it's dark matter and dark energy. So sad, such obvious shortcuts to repair serious fundamental problems in our models.
@Fourmarduk666 No, we did not. Searched a few minutes for what could've been a newsarticle that sparked your idea, but couldn't find it fast, and cba to search for very long. It remains unfound.
@ThingsWeSaidToday Why just string theory, he should do a round about show about quantum gravity, period. I mean they're more possible theories out than just string theory, after all.
@Shift4chizzle From the current information I can recall; they have not found it but think it might still be there and just need a larger version of the LHC (the largest piece of equipment ever built by man) in order to get the results.
@Nekreg i am almost 100 percent sure we have found the higgs boson and it was reported on many news stations, and they are already building the second largest structure created by man underwater to find the higgs boson (because obviously it travels slower under water)
@Shift4chizzle the huge underwater thing is a neutrino detector not a particle accelerator, there is no tank of water big enough so they have to use the sea, 100000 neutrinos are travelling through each cm^2 per second :0 omg, the higgs boson has not been found yet
It took me weeks of reading to grasp what you broke down in seconds. Excellent video son... I tend to lose faith in a group of ppl who makes a mistake of this caliber, derp indeed.
Man, scientists are annoying... all they do is deny this or that, when will people learn that just because they are incapable of finding something doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
More importantly, wasn't science about replacing a theory with a more likely theory, how exactly does rejecting the existence of a particle replace the modern believes with a more likely theory.
@eternity899 If there is no particle for mass, then it will topple some of the main accepted theories. I am not educated on these theories enough to tell you how it will, but it will.
They have been running the LHC for a year and making collisions all that time. There are 100million collisions per second in the LHC. The higgs boson has possibly been detected just 3 times. It may well still exist but if is very hard to detect, given the equiptment we use.
OOOhhhh. Okay, seeing this and the "So what IS the Higgs boson" definitely helps. In that case, using the fishing analogy (not to sound daft) who says that the fish haven't gone extinct....? Or 'evolved'. I'm no scientist, so I'm not exactly understanding of all the factors of all of this, but isn't that what our cells and genes do? Animals and plants and so on have cells which duplicate and overtime, mutate to accommodate to an environment.
@sonofafluffymuffin But they only need the 'beginning' to begin&then they're off & independent and growing/changing from there. Still using the analogy, evidence supports all life came from a common ancestor that was some kind of sea creature? But a lot of species developed from that one ancestor (like mass from the higgs particle) and actually *left* the water. So is it possible to use that analogy for the higgs? And if not, why? If it isn't too hard to explain, it must be extremely complicated
@sonofafluffymuffin There is a postulate of physics that states that the components of physics do not change over time. They might look different at different energy levels but they still have the same fundamental properties.
The interviews with Bertolucci and Heuer were made in Oct. 2011. In Dec. 2011 Heuer held a press conference claiming "indications" of a Higgs particle were found. I wouldn't make any bets against the Higgs!
I liked the fishing analogy for the search, especially regarding how far to go to accept a negative result. Rigorously, one can't prove a negative result, because one might not have looked hard enough or in the right ways, etc. But when fishing if one drains the pond and no fish remain, it's pretty persuasive that there weren't any fish there. Diehards will still be able to come up with contorted possibilities - the fish got thrown out with the water, and the like - but the probability is small.
We know nothing about the universe. NOTHING!! Until we can get a 3rd person view of the universe (which is impossible) we will continue to know nothing
@km10000000 That's not what the goal here is. Nor is that what they're trying to claim.
Rather than "if we can't find any evidence of it, it must not exist", they are saying "if we can't find any evidence of it, we can't assume it exists".
When you said, "Everything is probably wrong..." I did a little jump and then said, "Well, dammit. We gotta start all over again." I must have looked pretty funny :)
@oyhelloder And where do you propose the cosmic microwave background came from? And why is it exactly the right temperature? And why is it very uniform?
@DailyPc Not really. Religion is a choice Physics is testable fact; emphasis on the testable. Anything we can't experiment on falls into the realm of Philosophy not Science.
lol i want the academic journal article to have "Derp" in the title. actually if you put that on all the papers that expain past errors it might be easier to learn the right things.
If at all possible, can someone briefly explain how the discovery of the higgs boson would help prove there are parallel universes. Brian Greene talks about how the LHC are smashing particles and how if they can prove missing energy, this may prove that those energy jumped to another dimension. That's interesting, but everytime I click on a higgs boson vid or article, nobody is talking about parallel worlds. Is string theory just hitching a ride on this experiment that has a different objective?
@MrsMikeabbo I only know that they say they will know thus year, either way. How they can know that definitively I am not sure, but its what they say.
I dont get why the Higgs Boson is considered the God Particle just because it imparts mass and the gravitational field. Its neat that it can affect spacetime and the innate lowest state energy density of particles, but there seems no form of majesty that would entail it to be equivalent in stature or fundamental providence to a god.
I think its called the god particle because the concept of god was used to explain everything in religion. It was the answer to any questions people gave.
Now in physics over many years it came to a point where questions were asked and the only way people could explain the instances was to say,the higgs boson exists.
It being the most important particle that would prove or disprove the current model.
The term comes from the huge debate around its existance
Quarks, leptons and bosons are particles that make up protons and neutrons, and therefore everything we know to exist stems from these microscopic particles. You have taught me all that in a single song and continue to teach us all, so for that I thank you, Hank.
What I don't understand is if the Higgs Boson doesn't really exist but yet we have all the simulators that would use the equations and expressions that contain the Higgs, how can that not prove it's existence considering the simulators get it right. It's a confusing thing indeed. But people have to actually see something to believe it's there? O_o I've pondered the questions about the Higgs myself for quite sometime. But never really understood why we don't just use simulators. :/
@lxXTaCoXxl But there might be other simulators that also "get it right" that use a different model and/or equations, no? Reality requires experimentation.
@sniperslayer95 Everyone watching this (majorly) are nerds, geeks, dorks and the lot so i love this idea but in reality apart from malfunctions of the machines themselves and blowing up; the most damage i believe you would truly suffer from is radiation poisoning.
some trivia: Here in Switzerland a couple of years ago people were afraid of CERN making those experiments and they still are afraid... because they actually think that trying recreating the Bing Bang could create a wormwhole.. and destroy everything!
So my question is: Would that be theoretically possible?
@edkes123 If you look at the Big Bang theory and match it to Genesis in the Bible, the Bible has the same explanation for the begining of the universe. It is mind boggoling to see all the things scientists are coming up with that match what has already been known to the deciples of God for centuries.
@jonahansen please read the rest of the conversation before commenting. You can't just stop halfway through a two-way conversation and think it will make sence. if you continue reading you will see that is explain why is DOES.
@edkes123 (cont.) Also, there are many parts to the physical universe that "just work" in a matter of speaking, hence they are unique and seem to work for the sole purpose of helping life to exist (like how water is the only substance in which in freezing it expanse instead of the opposide and therefore floats in its liquid form. It is also the only substance that freezes from the top down, instead of the bottom up, A property unique to water that allows for aquatic life to occer).
@zelda0is0so0cool I understand what you're saying, but as for your water example we already know why that happens. Water in bodies such as the sea freezes from the top down simply because that's where the cold air is. Water also has a very high SHC, so the water at the bottom is relatively warm which keeps a circulation of warm and cold water moving up and down, meaning that water doesn't freeze until under 4C where the circulation stops and the top layer freezes.
@edkes123 Believe what you think is write. You may take that as the explanation, and maybe your write, but to me it is a sign of God's work. Why is water like this? why are other liquids different in these things? A Minister once said that the only reason we have these explainations for occurences in nature is so that people have an excuse not to be followers of God. Maybe something God set fourth to give more free will (i.e. it is up to you to deside weither to follow God or not)
@zelda0is0so0cool (cont.) If there where no explainations for how this stuff works, people would be FORCED to believe in God, which removes free will. One must have faith and follow to true power. Believe what you must, as God gave you that choice.
@zelda0is0so0cool I totally respect your argument, but i feel as though you maybe falling into the group of people that see God as a "Lord of the gaps" so to speak, as you are simply using Him as an explanation for things that we haven't been able to totally explain with science. A couple of hundred years ago I expect people used God as an explanation for animal's flight, but just look at where we are now.
@edkes123 Yes I see where you are coming from and that is due to my poor fraising. I think you misunderstood my (my fault) to draw that conclusion. To clarify, I believe that God created all things, but did in it a way that leaves physical explainations for others to find (enabling free-will). I do believe that God does fill in the gaps in our universe, so-to-speak, but not in the wsy you said, but rather a way that remains impossible to explain in words.
@zelda0is0so0cool (Cont). All these Knowledge "gaps" in the universe where only created in the first place by scientist trying to find something other then God that could explain the universe, and if you do believe that science can explain everything, than maybe I agree with you, but while knowing that God was behind it. If you think otherwise, then I would respect your opinion but know it to be wrong, aslong as it is an educated opinion, it is yours and yours alone, I can't force you to believe
@zelda0is0so0cool I respect your opinion completely, yours is still valid and I never meant to insinuate otherwise. I just wondered what your stance was. I know many people who believe that science answers how, and religion answers why.
@edkes123 I agree, and I am one of those people who does believe that religion asweres the why. Although science might be able to explain some aspects of the universe I think God is behind it. Don't mean to be repetitive! I am still a student of God so I know nothing, just like everyone else.
Thanks for your kindness! I hope that you will remember this if you ever become a man of God, if not then I respect your desision. You are good at heart, and that's what counts.
@zelda0is0so0cool@edkes123 Ahh! Nerds comming together to formatively discuss something that usually would have caused a massive fight! This, is why Nerdfighteria is awesome. DFTBA.
@jonahansen you misunderstood the point. I was talking about substances that where essential to life, and more importantly natural: Cast Iron is man made and not essential to life, where water on the other hand is. Aquatic life is only possible because ice floats in water and water freezes top down.
now call me a retard and slap my face... but havent they found strong hits of the existence of the higgs-boson? i.e. the scientists at CERN have found the decay (a pair of photons was it?) that would result from the higgs-boson and therefore believe it must exist.

If at all possible, can someone briefly explain how the discovery of the higgs boson would help prove there are parallel universes. Brian Greene talks about how the LHC are smashing particles and how if they can prove missing energy, this may prove that those energy jumped to another dimension. That's interesting, but everytime I click on a higgs boson vid or article, nobody is talking about parallel worlds. Is string theory just hitching a ride on this experiment that has a different objective?
blackbelttube 3 weeks ago
Question for anyone who knows:
Either way we will find out if the higgs boson exists or does not exist, But when will we know?
If we find it, we know then. But if we dont, we carry on looking, but when does that stop?

I dont get why the Higgs Boson is considered the God Particle just because it imparts mass and the gravitational field. Its neat that it can affect spacetime and the innate lowest state energy density of particles, but there seems no form of majesty that would entail it to be equivalent in stature or fundamental providence to a god.
Pimpmastahanhduece 4 weeks ago in playlist More videos from scishow
@Pimpmastahanhduece
I think its called the god particle because the concept of god was used to explain everything in religion. It was the answer to any questions people gave.
Now in physics over many years it came to a point where questions were asked and the only way people could explain the instances was to say,the higgs boson exists.
It being the most important particle that would prove or disprove the current model.
The term comes from the huge debate around its existance
MrsMikeabbo 3 weeks ago
Quarks, leptons and bosons are particles that make up protons and neutrons, and therefore everything we know to exist stems from these microscopic particles. You have taught me all that in a single song and continue to teach us all, so for that I thank you, Hank.

What I don't understand is if the Higgs Boson doesn't really exist but yet we have all the simulators that would use the equations and expressions that contain the Higgs, how can that not prove it's existence considering the simulators get it right. It's a confusing thing indeed. But people have to actually see something to believe it's there? O_o I've pondered the questions about the Higgs myself for quite sometime. But never really understood why we don't just use simulators. :/

edkes123 1 month ago
@edkes123 If you look at the Big Bang theory and match it to Genesis in the Bible, the Bible has the same explanation for the begining of the universe. It is mind boggoling to see all the things scientists are coming up with that match what has already been known to the deciples of God for centuries.

@jonahansen please read the rest of the conversation before commenting. You can't just stop halfway through a two-way conversation and think it will make sence. if you continue reading you will see that is explain why is DOES.
zelda0is0so0cool 2 weeks ago
@edkes123 (cont.) Also, there are many parts to the physical universe that "just work" in a matter of speaking, hence they are unique and seem to work for the sole purpose of helping life to exist (like how water is the only substance in which in freezing it expanse instead of the opposide and therefore floats in its liquid form. It is also the only substance that freezes from the top down, instead of the bottom up, A property unique to water that allows for aquatic life to occer).
zelda0is0so0cool 1 month ago
@zelda0is0so0cool I understand what you're saying, but as for your water example we already know why that happens. Water in bodies such as the sea freezes from the top down simply because that's where the cold air is. Water also has a very high SHC, so the water at the bottom is relatively warm which keeps a circulation of warm and cold water moving up and down, meaning that water doesn't freeze until under 4C where the circulation stops and the top layer freezes.
edkes123 1 month ago
@edkes123 Believe what you think is write. You may take that as the explanation, and maybe your write, but to me it is a sign of God's work. Why is water like this? why are other liquids different in these things? A Minister once said that the only reason we have these explainations for occurences in nature is so that people have an excuse not to be followers of God. Maybe something God set fourth to give more free will (i.e. it is up to you to deside weither to follow God or not)
zelda0is0so0cool 1 month ago
@zelda0is0so0cool (cont.) If there where no explainations for how this stuff works, people would be FORCED to believe in God, which removes free will. One must have faith and follow to true power. Believe what you must, as God gave you that choice.
zelda0is0so0cool 1 month ago
@zelda0is0so0cool I totally respect your argument, but i feel as though you maybe falling into the group of people that see God as a "Lord of the gaps" so to speak, as you are simply using Him as an explanation for things that we haven't been able to totally explain with science. A couple of hundred years ago I expect people used God as an explanation for animal's flight, but just look at where we are now.
edkes123 1 month ago
@edkes123 Yes I see where you are coming from and that is due to my poor fraising. I think you misunderstood my (my fault) to draw that conclusion. To clarify, I believe that God created all things, but did in it a way that leaves physical explainations for others to find (enabling free-will). I do believe that God does fill in the gaps in our universe, so-to-speak, but not in the wsy you said, but rather a way that remains impossible to explain in words.
zelda0is0so0cool 1 month ago
@zelda0is0so0cool (Cont). All these Knowledge "gaps" in the universe where only created in the first place by scientist trying to find something other then God that could explain the universe, and if you do believe that science can explain everything, than maybe I agree with you, but while knowing that God was behind it. If you think otherwise, then I would respect your opinion but know it to be wrong, aslong as it is an educated opinion, it is yours and yours alone, I can't force you to believe
zelda0is0so0cool 1 month ago
@zelda0is0so0cool I respect your opinion completely, yours is still valid and I never meant to insinuate otherwise. I just wondered what your stance was. I know many people who believe that science answers how, and religion answers why.
edkes123 1 month ago
@edkes123 I agree, and I am one of those people who does believe that religion asweres the why. Although science might be able to explain some aspects of the universe I think God is behind it. Don't mean to be repetitive! I am still a student of God so I know nothing, just like everyone else.
Thanks for your kindness! I hope that you will remember this if you ever become a man of God, if not then I respect your desision. You are good at heart, and that's what counts.

@jonahansen you misunderstood the point. I was talking about substances that where essential to life, and more importantly natural: Cast Iron is man made and not essential to life, where water on the other hand is. Aquatic life is only possible because ice floats in water and water freezes top down.
