Putting your hand in the Large Hadron Collider...

[1203125]

Not allowed to make universes? That's no fun..

[DownloadSomeBrains]

12:55 ohhhhh haha I see what you did there!

[kght222]

not much would happen to your hand, but you would be so irradiated that you would be destined to die of radiation sickness/cancer in a very short period of time.

[MrDrRoadhouse]

3:06 That thing you're doing with your fingers there... That's not a millimeter...

[stardude692001]

7:58 anthropic principle yay

[No1Chriz]

this gives me a idea for a particle gun

[dieseluk2k]

they should try it on myth busters

[elflordbob1]

wow the nottingham phyics department is sad

i thought it would be obvious what happens

you would dissapperar then appear a few days latter as a blue man who can control matter and has no emotion and calls himself Dr. Manhatten

[allamericandude15]

"Hi! This John Schmidt, chief engineer at CERN, and welcome to Jackass!"

[PinkCammy]

aaaah i frigging love sixty symbols!

[dimdit00]

other conotations? XD

[mightyfinejonboy]

2.20 eerrmm that's gotta hurt!!

[ry7ky]

I like lambda because HL/2

[madjimms]

Why can't they try it with a dead animal?

[PotadoTomado]

@madjimms Because they have better things to do with their time.

[madjimms]

@PotadoTomado But then they would know what would happen, its not like it would take that much time.... perhaps it could even yield a discovery or two!

[joebharner1]

My favorite symbol is also Lambda... because Stargate.

[thenazizombie1]

i thougth if a star blew up we wouldnt see it because the stars are so far away that we dont see it immediately and that some stars that we see are probably already gone

[Helge129]

@thenazizombie1 Most nearby stars other than maybe giants, supergiants and hypergiants still exist, that goes for all stars in the local group: Our galaxy, Andromeda, Triangulum, the Magellanic clouds, etc.

[saveroftheday]

they should put a cat in there and see what happens.

[Markussoll]

@saveroftheday fuck you!!!! they could put your cock in it

[KrustynailsVideo]

@Markussoll i think he was referring to Schrödinger's cat, i don't think he is necessarily a cat hater

[BKerryFTW]

@saveroftheday Schrodinger's cat.

[MrRalexanderb]

Look at your hand, now back to the LHC, back at your hand, now back to the LHC. Put your hand in to the LHC... Your hand is now DIAMONDS!

[23rdprime]

lol.... It turns out to be most difficult question of physics .....

[np101np101]

women...

[TheDigihax]

So could this be the reason for all the strange noises that has been going on around the world?, I mean this giant thing does make sounds right? or is quite ...

[Weemancake]

I'm not particularely fond of the idea of letting myself get irradiated by gamma rays, but if i get the chance to see a supernova with my own eyes, gammas can go shove it.

[linkuei83]

Holy titty fuck, i had the same question when i 1st heard of LHC, wish someone could test it, it's all in the name of science and fun xD

[0Sebek0]

did he said 300 MJ?!

[CastFire001]

i dont think they answered the supernovae question properly, i interpreted it as IF proxima/alpha centauri could and did go supernova (or even Sol for that matter) what would happen?

[AmadeosWolfgang]

Being 400 light years away, it would take the light from it 400 years to get here, meaning we would not be able to visually notice that it went supernova for 400 years.

[sidewaysfcs0718]

@AmadeosWolfgang well , when we do see a supernova, that means it happened already , in the past ....so we can never know it happens, until we see it , wich means it happened in the past already

even your image in a mirror in slightly delayed by a small gap of time ...nothing is observable in real time.

[hughlingard]

...would unlock an achievement.

[SimaanFreeloader]

@hughlingard The Stigmata achievement.

[jamesjohnsonjunior]

More female physicists, please.

[w1ndex]

What about Anatoli Bugorski? He might know something about getting hit with a particle beam. In the head.

[SSJkiller]

Putting your hand in one of those would be a little painful.....

Oh, HaDRon.... Still doesn't sound like a smart move to me =/.

[8DannyBoy]

I think we have the next thing for Mythbusters to do. What happens if you put your hand in the LCH?

[AngelixArch]

@motionapplied

Now you're just putting words in my mouth... I can't be relaxed in order to tell you that you've wasted your time? I think I can.

[HaileISela]

@motionapplied does that really matter? I think existence is the answer to the question of why everything is. the utter fact that things and life exist is reason enough for me to love it.

[AngelixArch]

@motionapplied

I'm completely relaxed :L i just feel like that wall of text didn't have a set purpose...

[AngelixArch]

@motionapplied

*sigh* that was quite a mouthful that didn't even explain the purpose of what you tried to imply along with it...

[acidicpenguin]

can you do one on M-theory, its very confusing

[JavaLuCpp]

One shall not look at a Supernova as one would hurt thy eyes

[PktMma]

Wow, they can't answer these simple questions? Then that must mean the Bible was correct all along!

[AngelixArch]

@PktMma

Lololol. Troll. Try doing it yourself. They are trying to put in account of all the possible forces and interactions that may occur. They aren't given specific information to fill the variables and they are thinking with a logical input. I haven't done any of that sort of mathematics, but it's obvious that if you've worked with algebraic equations, you MUST understand that in order to get an answer, you must have variables FILLED.

[alexanderhulse]

@PktMma the bible has no scientific knowlage its just made up bullshit

[RangerParus]

Isn't it at something like 4Kelvin in the tube?

[matthewhopson]

Try not to notice the shaky camera...

[Tatlreach]

:( I dislike when people put philosophy in my physics. Still a good vid.

[YungusCH]

so... chicks dig infinity?

[anonymousbl00dlust]

I'm really surprised no one brought up the strong anthropic principle in response to the question at 5:20

[ricktbdgc]

you know it has to have a bit more energy than a pen laser, probably enough to burn a hole through instantly

[Theelepeltjel]

So is this just coincidence or do most women like infinity? 'Cause that could lead to some great pickup lines

[JustAWanderingBard]

Science is so fucking cool.

[supermanondrugs1]

If I put my hand in the hydron collider, sped it up to near the speed of light and punched Justin Beiber, would his face turn into a black hole?

[lemsterterror1]

@supermanondrugs1 ROFL ROFL ROFL

[n3rdbear]

@lemsterterror1 lol it was funny

[FunnyVideoCollector]

When a bullet hits flesh it makes a small hole but also the energy from the bullet spreads killing flesh around the hole all the way through.

[ijunkie]

There already was a particle accelerator accident like this. A physicist put his head directly into the path of a particle beam without a vacuum inside and got a severe radiation burn.

[spaula]

Putting your hand in the LHC, I'm pretty much very sure, would cause a radiation burn on your hand. How bad? Would it be deadly bad? Well that's another question. But surely that would depend on how much the LHC was loaded and wound up.

[HaileISela]

it's so human to call a supernova one of the most catastrophic events in the universe. if it wasn't for that, we wouldn't exist. it's beautiful because the death of a star means not just destruction but also birth.

[firewolfstone]

@HaileISela i can't think of many things less catastrophic to a human than birth, just ask my wife...

[Andruchon246]

@HaileISela

i thought a supernova means destruction of a star, and birth of a destructive black hole

[HaileISela]

@Andruchon246 not quite, if I remember right, a supernova is at first the implosion of the star, then the explosion of it and during this process all the more complex elements are fused and then spread in a large area of space. that's why it's said we consist of star dust.

[galinuas]

@HaileISela It's surprising how close a different thing is: we can consider the supernova to be... human life. If human life didn't end, it wouldn't be sacred at all, and people would just shrug off dictators like Hitler and Mugabe because human life has no sacredness. It's very ironic, I think.

[gcirc]

@HaileISela some1 ben watch brian cox

[k28xl]

@HaileISela So you're saying a massive fucking explosion isn't catastrophic?

[chivasillars]

@HaileISela Who said catastrophe isn't beautiful?

[jreed136]

@HaileISela The result and processes are beautiful, but the explosion itself is quite catastrophic.

[alecbg919]

Very pedantic of me, but the fact that the title is sixtps sgmbphls is a bit annoying

[zythepsarian]

I PUT MY COCK IN THE LARGE HARDON COLLIDER

[jp221073]

@zythepsarian Yea the effects of stupidity are overwhelming coming from you as a result. Who knew if u stuck your penis in a Hardon Collider you would become a moron instantly.

[zythepsarian]

@jp221073 in order to insult someone in english, first you should try learning it, since what you said really didnt make any sense at all and made you look a whole hell of a lot stupider than my little comment is, lol

[rashinalleyes]

@zythepsarian yep thats where it belongs, with the other sub-atomic particles.jk lol

[zythepsarian]

@rashinalleyes bahaha good one

[vtinitus]

on the first question: somebody actually tried. have a look at this: boingboing[dot]net/2011/02/22/­what-happens-when-yo-6.html

[EphraimRodrigez]

just ask the Doctor you amateurs

[fliminthebox]

favorite quote "gravity doesn't care"

[yhallotharlol]

I hate it they answer the practical instead of the hypothetical

i.e. going off about Betelgeuse or how Alpha Centauri is not massive enough instead of just inventing a hypothetical star and answering the question, or talking about the fact that the LHC is hundreds of meters underground.

I know most of them end up actually answering the question, but its annoying to have to sit through 50 seconds of talking about Betelgeuse instead of getting an answer.

[deadpeng]

I didnt know brackets came from bra

[DeFliegendeHollander]

Here is one answer to the question about the colider : search "Anatoli Bugorski" on Wikipedia.

tha guy put accidently his head into a proton beam of an Soviet accelerator. And he survived \o/

[TK42138]

What is the kinetic energy of the beam in the LHC since it's being accelerated to almost relativistic speeds?

[VirtRampage]

god i hate it how when asked about the supernova scenario with "WHAT IF" they say, THAT WONT HAPPEN I WONT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION ILL RATHER EXPLAIN WHY ALPHA CENTAURI WONT EXPLODE

[danielvutran]

@VirtRampage Wouldn't you be annoyed if your little sister asked you "What if pigs grow giant and turned into gold, would your parents still love each other?" Now times that by 100x being repeated by 1000000 little sisters.

[1HumanKind]

@VirtRampage

answer is simple.

If a star 4 light years away went supernova, and discharged a strong Gamma burst at the Earth, the outcome would be singular and certain for all complex life here. Our DNA don't like multiple fatal doses of radiation. It could even strip the atmosphere.

Happy?

[fishybishbash]

@1HumanKind lol steady Sheldon

[0vershade]

haha, girls like infinity! I'm thinking about the fact that they like diamonds, which last very long... There must be a connection somehow :P

[MrJasperdog]

try sticking your head in there instead, put a black holr through your skull bone head.....lolol

[frostyuk2007]

What is the pressure inside the LHC? Just wondering because I thought it would be interesting to find out how particles behave in heavy gravity situations. If that makes any sense :-/

[MrJonline]

@frostyuk2007 there is (almost) no pressure, since there is a (almost)vacuum maintained in the tunnel.

Pressure and gravity are two different things, on earth we live in a pressure of 1 atmosphere and are subjected to the earths gravity

In the vacuum of space, gravity also plays a big role in keeping everything in place

The vacuum is created so the particles endure almost no resistance and can be accelerated to near light speed

Heavy gravity would probably bend the beam

[frostyuk2007]

@MrJonline By heavy gravity I really just mean extreme pressures and if it would change behaviours of molecules and how. In my mind (and probably only in my mind) gravity no matter how tiny the force is always significant, but then gravity is a bit of a mystery still. lights my imagination. :)

[RandomExpletive]

EVERYONE watching this video was thinking lambda, and when he said it, you all grinned a little

[mrsnrub37]

hot scientists who like infinity. They like infinity and their hot.

[SuperibyP]

Lambda....

He's probably just played Half-Life ;)

[JaySmith91]

Binary egg guy is an epic troll. It's pretty obvious.

[nmuller789]

"we arent allowed to make universes"

God-fuck da police

[tvalerianopereira]

The total energy of the beam is enough to boil 1275 Kg of water (originally at 37ºC)

[mdiem]

@BinaryEggRoll

You are a disgusting human being. I am ashamed to even call you a human being.

What the hell is wrong with you? Seriously!?

[Vermin298]

@BinaryEggRoll im not going to your stupid propaganda website. whats your profession then? if you think the arts are worthless then you clearly are as uneducated as you sound. go back to school moron.

[Vermin298]

@BinaryEggRoll im a musician actually and my parents have never shown any interest in the sciences. not that that would change the fact that you are a complete loon. i bet you and your parents are fat christian uneducated gun toting redneck inbred swamp dwelling non-voting bible bashing racist gullible xenophobes.

[Vermin298]

@BinaryEggRoll you've constructed such an elaborate conspiracy. the government and doctors working together to bring down a country using medicine, amazing. now im part of it too and i need to be neutralised? do you even read what you're typing? you could be arrested for conspiracy to murder in the right country haha.

[Vermin298]

@BinaryEggRoll wow... you know nothing about doctors without borders. im amazed at how ignorant you are.

[Vermin298]

@BinaryEggRoll "i am a scientist and researcher and apply the scientific method to every field" i doubt you would get through tertiary learning with amazing grammar like that. i guess all those Médecins Sans Frontières who leave their family to help people for no money at all are doing it for the money too? HOW DARE YOU accuse people of being selfish when they've given up their personal and finacial security just to help people they dont even know. absolutely ridiculous.

[Vermin298]

@BinaryEggRoll you dont have to believe me, i did say to go talk to doctors and researchers because there are experts in fields like biology and chemistry that could tell you anything you might want to know about those subjects. instead of merely suggesting that modern medicine is making people sick, how about you go talk to some people that are able to walk because of stem cell therapy or go meet some people that were blind before an eye transplant.

[Vermin298]

@BinaryEggRoll i know someone personally that survived bowel cancer and someone that survived breast cancer and im sure other people i know have survived all kinds of diseases and ailments thanks to modern medicine and they arent spending the rest of their lives in hospital. theyre fine now. thanks to doctors not fucking morons like you that claim science is going to kill us all... READ A FUCKING BOOK!

[Vermin298]

@BinaryEggRoll ok first of all, pandora was given the box and when she opened it all the evil came out but she closed it in time to save hope. if people start claiming medicine is the cause of illness then i guess we should just close down the hospitals and stop funding cancer research which saves thousands of lives every year? maybe you should spend some time talking to doctors and researchers instead of conspiracy theorists. better yet, crack a fucking book.

[lppoqql]

IT WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING, MOST OF THESE PEOPLE ANSWERING ARE JUST TRYING TO HIDE THE FACT THAT WE SPENT MILLIONS ON SOME USELESS CRAP

[JustSomeGuy741]

lets find out

if im supposed to die, then lets make a show of it

[nilsandrae]

Protons are sometimes used in Radio Therapy (google it) but at much lower energies. It probably would just make an ionized track thru your hand damaging DNA, but no recoil.

I'd be more concerned of the currents in the LHC-coils...

[TKOConnor1]

Wow. These guys are going to kill us all.

[Vermin298]

@TKOConnor1 these are the same people that brought you the internet and vaccines to diseases that are now almost extinct. scientists make cool stuff, scared irrational people like you turn it into a nuke.

[Drag0nfoxx]

Betelgeuse isn't the closest SN candidate, that's probably Sirius. It probably couldn't go type II, but it can go type Ia.

[Scyle92]

"We're not allowed to make universes, or at least we haven't figured out how yet."

Damn scientists you scary!

[philbot01]

The LHC would make a great Bandsaw

[Draiga]

My new favorite Youtube channel. (Thanks VSauce) and thanks for all the great videos. And light would only "fall behind" an object that is traveling faster than light. Because light can't go that fast... Faster than... itself. ~_~ Why is that such a hard question that all the answers are, "Duh... it's pointless to think about because it's impossible."

[OtherVerse]

@Draiga

Below is a list of topics to search for:

1) "Special relativity": why matter can never move at or beyond the speed of "light in a vacuum."

2) "Relativistic doppler shift": exactly what happens when light is emitted by fast things.

3) "Cerenkov radiation": when particles exceed the local speed of light in a non-vacuum.

4) "Tachyon condensation": it's never pointless to think about impossible things.

Physics is far, far deeper than the sort of arm-waving conjecturing shown in this video.

[Mares8192]

It's impossible to get to or faster then the speed of light because what nature does it slow down time, that is why it is impossible. And theoretically you can travel into the future if you were near the speed the light.

[tj6362]

Here's an easier one for you experts then!

Say I am flying through space faster than the speed of light in my BMW, then I turn my headlights on!

Would anything happen?

[Aviatorsmith]

@tj6362 You wouldn't be able to travel faster than the speed of light, so that question is invalid. If you were travelling very close to the speed of light however, you will still see your headlights turn on and the light travelling away from your car at the speed of light assuming you are the driver. Someone standing outside the car and not moving would see the light pooling up at the front of your car.

[TENAClOUSWRATH]

Click on the video then hold down 7

[JoaoFPires]

OK, mythbusters I have a job for you, ok? First thing really easy an hand, right? now a little bit more difficult but is possible the LHC ok? So LHC + hand = great television moment...

Next season maybe? Please?

[YorkLumsey]

Re Betelguese going supernova, remember that Betelgeuse is between 497 and 789 light years away from Earth. It may have gone supernova 200 years ago, but we won't know it 'til the energy/light actually gets here in another 290-to-600 years.

Cheer up.

Likewise, Andromeda's about 2.54 MILLION light years away. It could have VANISHED a million years ago, and we won't know for another 1.54 million years.

I'm not gonna wait around, sorry. Go back to your videogame.

[mickycheese27]

I love how proton sounds like protein, both indicate mass but in diff. categories

[857frank]

Could result in personal injury, it should be unplugged and allowed to cool before putting your hand in it.

[dannyb21892]

lol we're not allowed to make universes



[AscuriousAsGeorge]

When they where talking about the star that is 400 light years away that may go supernova, wouldn't it still take 400 years for this explosion to be visible to the naked eye, hence it taking 400 years for the light to travel from the star to earth?

[ilvmusiclol]

@AscuriousAsGeorge at least yes, not all the radiation would be travelling at the speed of light if any ;)

[vishva8kumara]

The total energy of the proton beam is quite small, but the energy is in heigh density, it will drill a hole through anything. A Russian scientist [Anatoli Bugorski] once accidently fallen in to a particle accelerator head-first, and the beam has gone through his head. He survived, but with left half of the face paralysed. He have said that he didn't feel anything at the time.

[xHolyPeanuts]

0:50 Gordon Freeman??

[ruigebeer]

didn't something like this happened to this russian guy Anatoli Bugorski?

[JeffBilkins]

ehh.. i dont know the energy density.. i dont know the ENERGY DENSITY... I DONT KNOW the energy density, I DONT KNOW  THE ENERGY DENSITY aargrgllll CHOKE

[recordingautist]

I think this is what they show you when you go into the Total Perspective Vortex.

[sporkafife]

But seeing as your hand is basically empty space (with atoms making up a very very very tiny volume), doesn't that mean that all or most of the protons in the LHC beam would travel straight through your hand and not interact at all?

[rottencranberry]

Most interesting video i've watch in utube for a while, and i mean a really long period of time (maybe since i found Cosmos by Dr. Sagan posted here).

Thanks for share.
