Large Hadron Collider: A whistlestop tour

[diddyxxxxable]

I thought it was a race track !

[thedarkmasters]

Science will F you up!!!

[manxdude1]

scotish accent guys,i think there fixing it in 2011 as of now not hear anything from lhc team?

[DUk369]

OVAR NEIN THOOSIND MEGNETS

[CajunCatfish12]

LOL OVER 9000 @ 0:52

[thegotammochannel]

OVER 9000 MAGNETS!!!

[nycrea]

0:53 AAAAAAAAAAA

[nycrea]

@nycrea

0:52

[LongClawzHidden]

OVER 9000 MAGNETS LMAO.

[Roboman1723]

OVER 9000 MAGNETS!

[olas16k]

OVER 9000 MAGNETS!!!...and this is wierd..because i coulda sworn i saw this on Angels vs Demons.

[Skyblade22]

So many magnets!!!

[LordOfCookies123]

OVER 9000 MAGNETS

[xBLACKB1RD]

OVER 900 Magnets!

[Saruman1000]

OVER 9000 MAGNETS!!!!

[EldinFajkovic]

over 9000 magnets...

[nevaonsafety]

100,000 cd's a second of data holy shit

[martixbg]

As per the figure in the video, the particles are accelerated to a speed that is just 10km/h below the speed of light in vacuum.

[Deviantial]

This is the kind of thing I want to be hearing about. Why don't they ever show something else this on the news? I don't give a shit if Tiger Woods is cheating on his wife. It's his business and nobody fucking cares. The "news" is a waste of time, it's merely a popularity contest.

[kwiksteen]

That is the tits.

Hope no one blows up though.

[MsScienceNerd]

take a virtual tour of the LHC. so wicked.

[SuperFluidFerroFluid]

Bunch of crap. Any intelligent being would realise it is a generatator rather then a freaking big bang test toy, They are storing the supercharged particals for their new backengineered spacecrafts.Systems that req massive amount of energy and where normal known elements just wont do. Do some research and stop relying on what you read on foxnews!! Look at the size of the thing.. Is it really necassary to make it 27 km long?spend billions?Just to run some tests? BULLCRAP!

[samn100]

Its is necessary and is possible if you have the money.

[synergizer]

I think the powers that be want the global gold for the large hadron collider to turn it into a giant inter dimensional portal... do ur research.

[zantrua]

i think that theres a magic invisible pink unicorn who prances over your bed at night... do ur research.

[ozzycriss]

They ll never get this working , Ha HA

[longded]

Think it already has worked and they are just refining and monitering in greater depth ? there are video's about smaller versions, but smaller versions and the speed of light just dont mix?

;]

[safewaysecurity]

No it actually broke and they had to repair it I think they are going to turn it on again so it can work during the summer time.

[longded]

ahh ? operational was confirmed though wasn't it ? tbh the carbon footprint implications worry me although not as much as why 0.0000009% the speed of light would not be obtainable after the other 99.9999991 had been reached ? then again I worry too much, say something positive please ;]

[zantrua]

because the increase in energy required for the last .0000009% is infinite, you can never accelerate something to c.

[mdma4life]

you can if its massless :P

[thesoundof3am]

i love the accent

[archontakis91]

@thesoundof3am i think it's canadian right?

[LiptonGuy]

When is the flip gonna be switched ?

Last I heard, there was some delay or repairs that needed to be made.

Who actually donated or fronted the BILLIONS of dollars for this project ?

I think George Bush should be shoved in the super-collider tunnel, just before this happens.

[FHomeBrew]

OVER 9000!!! (Magnets)

[Azilythe]

"What does the guassmeter say about it's magnetic power"

[willownimph]

Its over 9000!!!

[tubesurfer07]

awesome...

[quiero3ver]

it´s amazing how so many of you do believe as a fact ( among other hundreds of lies and nonsenses )in the not yet prooven big bang theory. Wish you had that blind faith in God.

I hope you´ve got the message.

[Veneni7]

A lot of things point in the direction of the big bang theory (microwave background, age of the universe calculations, abundance of H and He, ...). What I mean to say is we're not talking about blind faith here.

Of course there is evidence against, it isn't a perfect theory. But I bet my life it's closer to the truth than your answer to everything: "god".

[johny344]

Moron

[rbeekay]

i dont know about this experiment. I mean colliding a bunch of hadrons? Sounds a little gay in my opinion.

[tubesurfer07]

whoever you are, you need to consider your words more carefully... seriously.

[ThatOneAwesomeGuy1]

oh yeah and are we all doomed or do we get to live to be crusty and old?

[Kaeralho]

this chick's voice really pissed me off

[SlashDotDash121]

Switched on sept 10th!!!!

But they broke it!!!

Old news ;)

[PatrioticandProud73]

Informative video, well presented.

[J4N15]

moar like large HARDON collider amirite?

[ThatOneAwesomeGuy1]

when i first saw it i rofled cuz i thought it said the hardon collider.

[BeelineJohnson]

Oh god, ALICE is hot.

[zaborack]

Valerie Jamieson, you have the most annoying accent+voice I have ever heard.

[Drunkenher0]

LOL true. I just swtich off and watch the pictures...

[Killersepp]

Are you mental? Her accent is SEXY!

[Smarsher]

I think Newton was a better physicist than Einstein =\

[kanthan321]

useful and valuable video for an engineer like me.expecting lot of videos of this type on you tube in the future

[Drunkenher0]

engineer at 18???????????? lies

[xpo35]

I don't understand english but are wonderfull!

[TapYouKillYou]

I gave this five stars because of the phrase that comes with it, "Awesome!". This is awesome but not in a cool way... this is awesome in the scope of the technology & the possible historic ramifications of the project.

[thien0995]

lol I'm 14

[matieman77]

lol so am i

[ler0np0]

Albert Einstein can do it merely by pen and paper without spending billions and billions in gadgets. Something from the past this generation must learn to emulate.

[TheCalculusMan]

Einstein did alot and he is the greatest physists ever! But nature dosent ask anyone how to behave not even Einstein.

Nothing can substitute the expiriment.

Even Einsten made mistakes that were then shown in expiriment. The only thing certein is the result of the experiment and a theory must always be confroneted and re-examined by its ability to explain the result of the expiriment. LHC is the only way we can study the bizare quantum world. So let the expiriments continue and guide our way!

[schwantz037]

"Albert Einstein can do it merely by pen and paper" if he wasn't dead he might be able to

[FyveWunFiddy]

What the fuck is a "quarauk" and a "higgus bowson" and a "unervarse?"

[BankOFganja]

CERN is a bad idea

[zantrua]

your birth was a bad idea

[Samodiva007]

I'm not sure if the risk of the experiment is really acquitted!Just think about the possibility,that the world could be absorbed by a black hole...brrrr.And the energy that would be created could be used for unhumanity things.Have you red Dan Brown's book about it?!I really hope,that the scientists in CERN know,what they do!..

[steelxibanez]

How many magnets??!?!

[desertblbuesman]

Love the title.

[Narcitel]

OVER 9000 MAGNETS

[c0nn3ct10n]

It's Half-Life all over again

[UncleKennybobs]

A British girl!

Nice video.

[Dazubegener]

Well if we're going to argue the Big Bang vs God, then we Christians should realize that this is not our territory to argue because there are so many asinine scientist here. HEre's what I think, I believe everything the scientist discovered was rightly created by God.

Such close minded scientist here.

[BedlamOfCacophony]

prove it!

[Satronn]

And did Congress get to vote on the Big Bang?

[Satronn]

And Who's taxes did they use ?

[Helge129]

the Swiss's taxes

[Satronn]

So who built the first LHC that created the original Big Bang ,?

[Sene4kin]

Half Life 3....... Hurraaaay !!!!

[ienai]

Hollywood already made a Movie about this Fantasy. "The Black Hole genereted by device like LHC". And the efects are so simple, but acceptable. BUT remember all it is JUST a FANTASY, even Now with the real LHC

[draserlisk]

holy shittt 50 months from now ther might b a black hole which is 2012... mayans r right the mayans prophocey is reall ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhAHHHHHHHHHHH

[Helge129]

no, there might not. the LHC will NOT create any kind of Black Hole

[oldspice100]

how do you know

[Helge129]

How do I know? Simple: I did attend at School in Physics and made my Homework.

[oldspice100]

so were supose to trust you, what if you got bad grades, or went to a shity school,

[Helge129]

A: I went to the best school in Spain, b, I got A's in Physics, Chemistry and Maths.

Also, Just so you know it, the LHC does 14 TeV collisions, but in the upper atmosphere, 20 TeV collisions are happening all the time. High energy collisions do NOT cause black holes. *facepalms*

[oldspice100]

facepalms, hahaha you must be so smart that you think facepalms are funny,

[Helge129]

No, I facepalm at people that still think the LHC will create black holes.

Did you know that in the upper atmosphere, much more powerful collision happen all the time? Without creating black holes? 20 TeV collsion in the atmosphere, vs 14 Tev collision on the LHC...

[oldspice100]

realy what part of the upper atmosphere

[Helge129]

I don't remember exactly what part, I did read it in my Physics book...3 years ago. But what I know is, that in the sun, even more powerful collisions happen.

Still, a high energy collsion will NEVER create a black hole.

[Helge129]

I forgot something too... That "...and perhaps even tiny black holes..." is bullshit.

[tellygeek]

i doesent really matter because the people who said there will be a blackhole that will swallow the earth have no scientific background what so ever in the video they said they will be able to study the effects of black holes

[nekbeth]

Hollywood is taking too long to make a movie about this

[Helge129]

they already did. "The Void"

[MelbourneDan]

Just read Angels & Demons. You get all of the answers there......

[temmet]

what could go wrong?

maybe it will create a giant super magnet that would pull all the planets together and collide!

Awesome

[Helge129]

<nope

[7r00]

Oh Man! That would be amazing if something goes wrong, maybe some kind of eletromagnetic field could destroy all of the technologic devices in the world, so we would be forced to go back to jungle. LOL

K, I know I'm talking shit

xD

But It's Hell'a funny to think like that.

[Suramer0]

Generates heat 100,000 times hotter than the SUN? Ehhh, what could go wrong?

[taintedfeatherx]

no kidding.

everyone into the pool.

[chanelleOZ]

how do they not know that instead of a black hole forming and sucking in the earth that we will just be wiped out by some sort of magnetic or whatever force that travels around the whole earth wipeing everything out in it's path

so many unanserwed question around this and really cos they were doing this anyway they should have just done it in 'top secret' so everyone else didn't panic or get scared in to the lead up of the collision and think that this could be our last few weeks

[ssnatcherss]

Science isn't about being "top secret." That would be the military.

[cadodo]

fck if you use the money to make this garbage in helping the people then many people will be happy

[NesredepEvo]

Im scared!

[jiggly229]

well dont, the black holes will be microscopic or none.

[nfs5676]

what does this do?

[pablohoney78]

This will turn out to be a bargain.

[stevenpers]

how the fuck ill this change my fuckin life?

it might fuckin make a black hole

[Alectr0n]

Over 9000 magnets.

:/

[TheMatrixMemorial]

To learn more about weapons to kill more people and civilians and to Genocide, try to search HAARP and CHEMTRAILS...

[TheMatrixMemorial]

Sincerily... This will not change my life...

3 Billions Euros for this?!?

What a shame... Hundred of people died every day with hungry...

SHAME!!!

[USRAEL2008]

don't be sad my friend!

the knowledge of this test and this LHC will be used to creat new weapons to kill more people and civilians and to Genocide, in the future!

be sure!

and don't be sad.

[clipcrazed]

what the fuck are you talking about?

[BHSB3]

I know right? People in Africa always die of hungry.

[Inverness01]

To save everyone or push humanity forward... its a hard choice. Im not being sarcastic.

[Worldsnicestguy]

Revenge of the nerds!!

Boom!

[Yoshi11583]

WE'RE ALL SCREWED!!! Doom or Half-Life type of situation is gonna happen. AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! :D

[EvM964]

end of world thing was just made up by emos who got hopeful that the world will end

[Flaminglog]

I like that accent.

[NicholasStevens11]

This has 2 be 1 of the sickest things ever, interesting they can't get it 2 the speed of loght

[vladimirscc]

it's becouse speed of loght dont exist

ha ahahah haahha loght LOL

[NicholasStevens11]

well, at least i can spell because, and use don't correctly

mine was a misprint, you just need an education

[vladimirscc]

asshole

it was a joke

[lobaosao]

Project excellent I love these types of things we have to take care of our planet can be destroyed! In a project that required optimal video!

[Xeiphyer]

I can't wait to see what new discoveries are made from this! =D

It would be a bummer if the earth was destroyed tho huh? But the chances are extremely slim according to some scientists (1 in 50million) And non existent according to others so I'm not worried :P And if it does happen we wouldn't really know because we would be kaboomed too fast :P

Maybe with this new research we can make gundams soon? I could go for one of those.

[thelossbloodlock]

its a bummer that the chance is so slim ='(

[Kenzofeis]

"1 in 50million" extremely slim?

If there is a 1 in 100 million chance an asteroid might hit us in 20 years it's BAD..

Not that I believe black holes exists as protrayed in the theory.

Go figger.

Also, go figger why all posts regarding people starving to death versus these expensive toys get negative scores.

Egoism.

[maurieer]

Excellent.

I received the email from the New Scientist this morning.

5/5

[renegatt]

It's unbelivable how human can build that?

[2skiller1]

yea... it took 20 years

[Ikonomi]

Best narrator ever......

Oh, and the LHC is exciting too. :P

[RzorKenny]

We are not going to die are we?! D:

[PurpleLightsaberAlex]

Don't believe every Doomsday prediction superstition, Kenny.

[Jeovapn]

Qual o mal que tão absurda experiência pode causar a humanidade

[Yatukih]

The Atlas Detector is on my painting of Kali.

There are also parts of the Hadron Collider there.

Problem is , I painted it before I saw this.

y.

[NicholasStevens11]

law of averages, coincidence

[Hymanroth67]

why didnt they just go full 100% speed of light?

[ltdex351]

Its impossible for mass to travel the speed of ligth

[NicholasStevens11]

light is a form of mass

[ltdex351]

Yes, you could say that but ligth does not have any mass.

[NicholasStevens11]

dude surely it has like 0.0000000000000000000000000000­00000000000001 mg

i don't take science [(unfortunately in South Africa Physics n Chemistry are joined subjects for some unknown reason)and i fuckin hate chemistry] haha pls explain, light moves in particles doesn't it? not waves ...

[pb88888]

light is particles, but it moves in waves...

[NicholasStevens11]

wasn't light waves 1 of einsteins disproved theroies ...

[inthefade]

No, light and all quantum particles behave as waves or particles. It is called the wave-particle duality.

[ltdex351]

yes ligth has particles but they dont have mass. you could say energi is about the same thing as mass but not exactly, you can create mass from energy and you can turn mass into energi, but energi does not have mass.. I know its confusing

[thien0995]

everything has mass

[ltdex351]

No, everything does not have mass, you dont study Physics i guess? Ligth for example does not have any mass (that we know of) but it can still be effected by gravity, as in blackholes. The laws of physics says that NOTHING with mass can ever travel the speed of ligth - Why? because it reuquiers infinite energy. But you can come pretty close in Vacum with magnets or with Ion-rockets

[thien0995]

no, I don't study physics, I was just always told that... no matter what I said I was wrong...

[eightball20055]

How do you KNOW that light can be effected by a black hole? It's just a theory.

[timetravelexperiment]

You can see the effect through a telescope... with your own eyes.

[matieman77]

omg i hate people like you

we don't KNOW anything, how do you KNOW that you are where you THINK you are now.

everything we 'know' is a theory, but some are more solid than others

and the theory light being effected by a black hole is very solid because we can see it bending around a black hole

[NicholasStevens11]

stick 2 philosophy

[Jasdfgh]

Cause then the protons would convert in to pure energy, as anything going the speed of light does.

[Zmanwiththeplan]

they reckon that it will open black holes but only very quick... so quick infact that they'll probably only suck up some oxygen or water molecules out of their... then they'll shut alsmost instantly

[Incrediblastic]

Eiffel terror?

[PerfectBlindness]

99.9999991% the speed of light, 4km accross: What's the next size up?

[GuyL44]

Very interesting video!

[superok4luv2u]

i cannot wait until this thing gets results

[tarunramesh]

i dont understand why people are so scared? seriously this is a moment which we should be luckly to live through. This is a scientific marvel, sure theres a chance of world ending beucase of a mini black hole caused by this thing but just so you know, theres probably a higher chance of you dying while walking on the footpath then there is of dying of a blackhole here. The LCH is going to change the future of our world for the better and let us uncover the mysteries of the cosmos!

[psycopyro001]

well i woke up this morning (that's a good thing)!

[iamsidd]

me too

[suramer20]

Yes..but will you wake up tomorrow? Mubuwahahaha!!!!

[psycopyro001]

oh SHIT, Wake up god dammit!

[Scynite]

I hope this machine opens a portal into Hell, and all of Hell comes pouring out into the Earth, ala Doom. That would be cool, and teach these crazy scientists a lesson!

"Oh no Gordon! Get out of there! OMG! What have we done? What have we...."

[zk351]

oh maybe then we can all get bfg 9000's and minguns to blast hells demons back to where they came, sweet

[Samodiva007]

I don't like this project...!!!

[zk351]

because...

[NicholasStevens11]

thats cuz ur a fuckin idiot

[raikahoken]

simply, indisputably the greatest moment of our human race... I'm so honored to be alive at this time to witness it

[Renegade30]

suposedly some 16 year old indian chick commited suicide because she was convinced the LHC would cause doomsday. Look on wikipedia.

[ikillmofos]

She forgot to take her medication on that day.

[c0nn3ct10n]

0:54 I see what you did there
