LHCNews July 3, 2009 - ATLAS' Cosmic Run

[Rayrockny]

When will the first experiment take place?? Anyone know?

[modman1234567]

it already happened last year.. >_>

[matintwo]

ATLAS run coordinator should ware a bra...

[schuey999]

Those things could be used in a Newton's Cradle experiment.

[neroclavd321]

Seems like Stephanie Zimmermann wears no bra ;-)

[Rayrockny]

She's ugly but i'll motor boat those. ;)

[fuji2failo]

"motor boat"???? what is that mean ?? this is no boat witha motor dude stop doing crack

[Rayrockny]

Look up "Wedding crashers motorboat"

[drdejanm]

Come on, start the experiment, I cant wait any more! And please inform us what is happening regularly, dont hide from us the news!

[Celeon999A]

OF COURSE the rubber ducks are an integral part of the LHC experiements. ;-)

They will study wether the enjoyment to let the ducks swim in a beam of particles is the same as letting them float among the bubbles in your bathtub.

My guess is....No. Bathtub ducks are more fun.

:-D

[LokiClock]

A wether is a castrated ram.

[Celeon999A]

:-D Forgot a H there sorry

[omegavalerius]

Apart from the ginormous amount of data and potential of ground breaking discoveries it is the way in which people from many different countries come together to make this happen. Peace!

[seanmPWH]

At first I thought the rubber ducks were just toys, it turns out that they are an integral part of the collider.

[narutojinrasengan]

They are consultants for the physicisists.

[Forkboy193]

On July third 2009, my friend died :'c

[Kenjineering]

Sorry to hear that buddy

[marshallcz]

: /

I think even that rubber duck knows more about physics than we do.

[Singul4r1ty]

Great video again, if you guys do request please do one about how scientist are gonna search and make (statistical) sense out of the overwhelming amount of data.

[zeropointemcs]

i think these arsehole are shameful, kids dieing for want of food 2/3 of the world liveing on the bread line yet they pump billions, into this project shame on them

[toyracers]

these experiments aim to unlock fusion energy as well as uncover other sciences.. these experiments have the potential to dramatically lower hunger and poverty... maybe even eliminate it

[MonsterLopes]

What about the billions spent on war?

[seanmPWH]

Most starvation is due to internal wars, success at the LHC will enable us to make bigger bombs so that we can kill those people who are using starvation as a weapon.

[QuantumFieldBoy]

yeah no, swing and a miss there buddy.

This is not a study into nuclear physics, this is an experiment designed to flesh out some of the gaps in the standard model.

They are just trying to prove the higgs mechanism (theorized to be responsible for inertia, and giving particles mass) exists.

Trying to weaponize such a thing is a fools errand.

There's no fear-mongering to be had here. This is the essence of unilateral, peaceful, scientific pursuit here.

[teemuruskeepaa]

I hate it when lamers who didn't go to physics classes assign religious horrors to scientific projects. You can't know this!

[pippodeltrappeto]

Italians!!! At least we've many valid researchers which works for the sake of science...(even if out from italy)

[seanmPWH]

Hey, the Italians used to make good disco music back in the '80s

[LinneaMae68]

I wish someone had shown me all the possibilites for a career when I was young. Knowing what I know now, I would have stuck out school... applied myself and gone to work at CERN. All those discoveries! Argh... to do life over eh?

[billythefifer]

I have wait until the end of November to shut the doom and gloom crowd, no really I just can't wait for the new discoveries.

[tubrobert]

Star Gate???

[narutojinrasengan]

we can hope!

[womblefree]

I'd work their for free if they let me even as a cleaner, great place to be if your interested in science

[teobesta]

every time there is a video available

my heart skips a beat thinking

this is it

i try not to get too disappointed when the purpose of the video isn't to deliver the good news

but to rejoice instead that we're a step closer

plus the yellow ducks helped me get over the mounting tension and the intensity of what i saw and heard this time around

ever so impatiently waiting for mid-november now

(hey fill us in on where you got that info Celeon999A as my sources are clearly failing me ;) )

[Celeon999A]

Planned start of operations is Mid-November 2009.

[imranbug81]

yeah have they even run it yet ??

[KaarsUnderlost]

when will it start, allready? :P
