  • hot chick

  • Whats the matter CERNIANS... it is broken again?

    ohh dont' worry it will happened  again as the WARLORD OF GOD goes for it

    PEONS... GReetings from GReece...

  • The time has come for Free energy to be revealed ,But Elite controllers don't want ppl to be free from the costs of energy,Get a motor that needs no gas or electric input at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,The revolution begins!

  • the blond interviewer so understands what he's talking about.

  • So we built the Atom bomb, and then nukes, and now a black hole weapon.

  • CERN can shoot this beam to anywhere on the planet and kill every thing in it's path right through the earth to a surface targe! that is why it was funded!

  • @laserphysic dont belive all the crap u read on the net

  • @laserphysic dont belive all the crap you read on the net

  • Cern should provide Mosque and halal food for the Muslim scientist to pray and eat only Islamic food!

  • Scientists are the worst partiers - get some strippers to go with your collisions!!!

  • ive been working on my college diploma for 3 years. I wont be praud when i get a peace of paper . Life sucks

  • @system0system0 Take an English course ;) Proud* Piece*

    Thanks, cheers!!

  • notice 3 sixes around cern logo at top right.can any good come from this? The GOD particle?

  • @nomoepo You're a superstitious moron, please die in three successive fires.

  • I wish I was a scientist so I could talk that fast.

  • Ha ha harrrr ha. And the cross to the guy at 0.26 really fits in with the speed talking!

  • @beeqool LOL

    I agree though, she's awesome

  • Comment removed

  • not to mister immigrant

  • bin total ungezogen heute wer will mit mir camn der kann sich ja melden

  • you can all bitch and complain, but the fact is that CERN is going through with the largest energy collision in the history of science....take it or leave it, but you can't stop it (unless you're Guy Fawkes)

  • i can care less tht is costed billions of dollars, im just glad i didnt get sucked into a black hole lol

  • Mark my words. Maybe 10 years later or that. Ppl will start to be suspicious. Review all the videos and reports and find out just like at the moon thigie that this is just another hoax (or what). (sorry for extra comment but 500 chars sux)

  • @Csatrad what can you be suspicious about here?

  • i readed theire news since the assembly of this place is done. And it seemed that they instantly started control over the outgoing information and progress. Where money is involved the guys who put in it want prof. what can be only given to a moneybag (with smartasses behind them so he wont get riped) if they already proved what will happen. But here. They just pretend they dont know.

  • @Csatrad man your English is bad. I still don't get the logic. You're not being specific.

  • The technologie they researching here is already exist. This is just a way the inventors present this technologie to the public.

    This is a circus. A lightshow. With big money. Money taken from Rich supporters.

  • cyclotron tehnology of this scale has never been made. Why do i think so? They have broken the record of the beam energy and they are still struggling to go up even more? The point is that accelerators made till todey can't produce particles that scientists have predicted...THIS is OUR Best CHANCE TO FIND OUT WHAT/WHY/WHERE gravity is. Science is beautiful and there are no border for it. We know less and less about more and more.

  • hahaha ofc he does. This is just another entertaining "show" like the moon thingie. They know the technologie for quite a time now. They just inject into simple folks mind trough something that they can benifit too to keep the resources incomming.

    Imagine how badlly a company would broke if they would throw out all theire new stuff as soon as they developed it? Thats not "busines" Slowly tear off all the benifit/income at every phase "to make a living".

  • @Csatrad is development bad?

  • Sigh... Just look on the monitors the background. Its a freshlly installed windows on it for god's shake. This is a scene made for publicity to keep the show goning. Development isn't bad. It is already done! They just make a soap opra to swiftlly flow the discovery to public.

  • The bloke at 4:50, is that Bez from the Happy Mondays now working on the LHC?

  • sorry, but you are totally wrong. CERN has brought us the world wide web, made spectacular advances in nuclear medecine, made us understand how forces interact at fundamental scace to it could help many other fields. Also, research in nucleas fusion and antimatter is what will save the future as these are clean energy and are much more efficient.

  • @maximusben1 WRONG. Al Gore Brought us the world wide web. Try again+

  • @qunniq I don't think thats right.

  • @maximusben1 interesting, so is the fact that this is mostly false claims. nice political play though, i guess if people don't know the truth, they listen to those who sound like they do... lol sheep. 

  • @Davidwhat How is what I said (> a year ago) false claims? Tim Berners-Lee invented the web at CERN in 1989, cancer detection technologies like TOF PET scans were researched and improved at CERN, neutral currents + W and Z bosons + neutrino families were all discovered at CERN, making molecular physics more profound, anti-hydrogen particles were created and maintained for over 10 min at CERN, again developing anti-matter research...so please, tell me how are these false claims? yeah, gtfo sheep

  • yummy host

  • yay! LHC is back :D

  • 3 red dots in the screen worth billions of dollars. What a nice result.

  • Good job guys!!!

  • Comment removed

  • No one knowing is the key part of science. Like the brilliant Dana O'Briain said: If science knew everything it would stop.

  • "They might just make a black hole though

    since they don't have a clue"

    "since they don't have a clue"

    "they don't have a clue"

    "a clue"

    apparently you don't have a clue

  • when the black hole eats us, my quarks will be laughing at your quarks

  • it looks like they are in steroids or is it just me? looks like the speed of the clip is played to fast or something :X

  • I can't wait till they bring some extra dimensional cthulhu like being into our world.

  • Don't worry about the LHC. The danger was very real but it won't work. What would you do if your kids found the matches?

  • someone came from the future to stop the LHC from destorying the world

  • Why have they sped this up?

  • It states exactly why at the beginning of the video in the annotations.

  • To fit the allowed video length possibly.

  • I assumed as much shortly after posting. Chip monk science is a little harder to follow unfortunately. It is rather unnecessary though simply split the video into two 5 minute parts and upload that. Such operations can be done in something as simple as movie maker Im sure their editing suite could have coped with it.

  • Hey, there's a secret aerosol spraying program going on worldwide. Search "chemtrails", "Dont talk about the weather" and "Endgame HQ". Check my chan for my own vids - I watched it happen. Wake up, wake others, we need ya. Take care

  • I loved that you sped it up. thanks:D

  • Why do so many people insist on calling him Stephen Hawkins? It's Hawking, not Hawkins....

  • I think its because it sounds better or somewhat resembles Dawkins or Hitchens.

  • Hawkins is kooler :P

  • Comment removed

  • Suck on that christians!

  • Can somebody tell me if, the use only Ions, or they have like free protons, and if they do, How do they get free protons, and with what do they hold them?? my question might be stupid, i just don't know!!! Any educated person can help, i would appreciate! TY

  • @vince19811981 a 'free proton' is an ion. An ion is a particle with more or less electrons than protons. A hydrogen atom is one proton and one electron, thus a single proton with no electrons is a hydrogen ion.

    Protons have a positive charge so the magnets in the LHC 'hold' the protons in place and accelerate them much the same way the Superman ride at 6 flags does.

  • thanks, i didn't know hydrogen don't have a neutron, witch answer my question, i was wondering where was the neutron... TY

  • @Melari231 I have more education and money than all of you, deal with that lol.

  • Dude, you're getting excited over something you can't even comprehend. Unless you and Mr Hawkins are capable of arguing over the finer points of quantum physics, anything you are imagining that'll come from this experiment is so far out. Nothing practical or comprehensible to you will come from it. That's all I was saying so calm your enthusiasm.

  • OMG I fucking hate that women. I can stand to hear her talk... Its like she doesn't give one fucking shit about it, little own understand it. What so hard about understanding they are shooting particles (mostly electrons) in opposite directions at near the speed of light and creating circumstances for the electron to collide. When they collide they are to break apart into smaller particles and the way they break off to see what particles are made and the path they take.

  • i think when you said "...little own understand it..." you meant to say "...let alone understand it..."

    thats a common english phrase, just thought i would correct you, not to pick on you, but just to save you some embarrassment if you go around repeating that in public... trust me on this one ok ;-)

  • I posted something along those lines in another video with her, which unsurprisingly yielded the same result.

    I as well feel like she has absolutely no interest in the subject. Seems to me like she spends far more time in front of the mirror than doing journalism. It also doesn't help that she comes off very cold, which is a terrible quality for an interviewer.

    But i suppose the dumb barbie appearance works for most youtube viewers, hence the lack of criticism.

  • Because Barbie totally knows what teraelectronvolts are.

  • This woman has a masters degree in immunology. And is the project managers of EGEE.

    you are being a prick. she's a scientist, not a journalist. jackass.

  • Comment removed

  • completely irrelevant to the discussion i was having. someone was calling Anna Cook a dumb bimbo, in effect, and I was defending her academic credentials.  you don't need a degree in particle physics to be able to ask good questions.

    so i don't know what your point was other then the obvious and irrelevant.

  • What a delightfully sexist comment Digeridude. Even if she wasn't a scientist who cares. Shessh such sexist jerks.

  • dick!

  • you're being an asshole.

    Anna Cook has a masters degree in immunology, and actually is one of the Project Managers of the Enabling Grids for E-Science.

    She's not a "journalist" or a "dumb barbie"

    You are just being an asshole, and have a predisposition against beautiful women for some reason.

    Check yourself, jack ass.

    SHE ASKED GOOD QUESTIONS. Give me your problems with what she asked?

  • Indeed and with an interesting and engaging manner,you sense she fully comprehends what she's being informed of and that gives her delivery more gravitas,she's great in my opinion.

    Thinking mans totty for sure.

  • Incredible engineering and scientific acheivement, Go humans!

  • I love the camera man showing up in the television... XD

  • Yay it's back :)

  • WOW she talks fast

  • LOL?

    Christians have been saying the same crap for 2,000 years. "If you think I am crazy just wait and see". Every single decade has been as positive as the previous. If you have evidence you ought to share it with the world.

  • Dude if you believe that something is seriously wrong with you. Why is it that people try so hard to stop the advancement of science and technology, but could not last 2 days without the inventions it brings us.

  • Let me give you a prediction......blah blah blah blah blah blah. You will wake up tommorow, you've got drool on your face, you slept on your arm and now it's numb, the bitch of a boss at work is giving you the stink eye, you can't wait to go home, you're rent is due but you spent your money on some date that didn't pan out....in other words NOTHING will change and you will not be enlightend because the ultimate question can't be answered. The CAUSATION of the big bang.

  • So then this will provide us with insight into what caused the Big Bang and maybe help figure out cold fusion?

  • it will help us understand more clearly what happend soon after the big bang.

  • The only thing people really care about is what was up BEFORE the big bang. THAT we will NEVER know.

  • true, it would be pretty hard to figure out what was going on when spacetime as we know it didn't even exist.

  • Nope, nobody will EVER know what happend before the big bang. To know what happened before would require a time machine. The reality of how the universe unfolded occurs the mili-seconds AFTER the bang but the cause is forever lost. Ask ANY scientist to give the wildest guess what caused the bang and he will tell you it's an impossible question to answer and even guess at.

  • when i said 'pretty hard', i didn't mean it literally.

  • Ahhh

  • That is a fallacious statement. Unless you know something no one else knows.

  • The fact that you think we can use a time machine to travel back to before the big bang demonstrates that you have no clue just what physicists actually say about the big bang. It also demonstrates that you really don't know anything about a crucial, century old theory, the General Theory of Relativity.

    Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" was published over 20 years ago and talked about this subject. Your understanding of physics is out dated by decades, if not by a century.

  • So, is there finally some light at the end of the tunnel?

  • she hawt

  • i hope for a blackhole and destroys the planet so idiot fuckfaces that say we are all gnna die will die...

  • do they cool the super conductor magnet system with LN2 or LHe?

  • They use both in 2 phases. I assume LN2 is cheaper?

  • eh i was just curious, i did some work for a energy RD company that was working with super conductors and LN2 cooling.

  • finally !

  • It looks like there having a good time! But sadly they have no understanding of time as a physical process.

  • From what I understand, they are not in fact afraid that black holes will be made, they know they will be. But they evaporate so quickly that they are not likely to even usurp a single atom, and even then they evaporate.

    It's not the black holes from space we are talking about, we are merely talking about a singularity point, but so small it's own internal gravity can't keep it together as soon as the collision energy is gone.

  • Don't be scared... the only black holes that could be created are those of equal mass to the particles and energy used.

    They will make black holes but they will be super tiny and very short lived before they evaporate.

    To create a black hole that could effect the earth you would need to use an amount of mass that got into the same ballpark as the mass of the earth - which clearly they arn't.

    It's like claiming that driving a tent spike into the soil can split the planet in half...

  • Actually we do know within certain parameters. We also know what it will not do.

    It will not create a planet munching black hole in the same way it will not produce a cheese and pickle sandwich or a small green puppy.

    You seem to lack the comprehension of scale required to understand this.

    You are making a suggestion akin to claiming that starting a car engine will cause an explosion that will blow up the Earth.

    Your limitations have no bearing on reality.

    CERN knows what they are doing.

  • Yeah, it's not like there's collisions several orders of magnitude more energetic happening in our atmosphere every second of every day. Nope. And there's no theoretical model to predict such reactions in the LHC that are used in several other particle colliders around the world.

  • The very physics that tells us black holes will be created is the same physics that tells us that they will be harmless.

    But to give you an idea of the scale of irrationality of your fears; being afraid that one of these black holes may swollow the world is like being afraid that eating a ham sandwich will cause you to shit out a galaxy.

  • Let's recognize BS believers give us something awesome to laugh at.

    In Angels And Demons, the CERN produces a blob of antimatter supposed to blow up the earth, in reality, antimatter will be used to destroy brain tumors (or is it already ?)

  • Whoa. I'm staying away from ham sandwiches. Thanks for the warning.

  • WELL PUT, SIR!

  • You know you are in the wrong blog and stupid when you get 19 thumbs down

  • Beams.

  • I don't think their using their funding wisely if they have 2 monitors in the background to display whats being done directly in front of them. Seems they could have saved a good 500 bucks.

  • If someone in the room doesn't show up on the screen they know he's a vampire or a ghost. Do you want vampires or ghosts at CERN? I don't. It's a worth while precaution.

  • Wait, there's a lot of ghost videos in youtube ;D

  • I don't mind vampires, aslong as its not those skinny pale pussy ones from twilight.

  • The video has been speed by 10% to meet the Time restriction for upload. Lets discuss this more.

    In other news, lets inform the media so they can poke sticks @ this weeks old news, again.

    They seem to enjoy anything that has a minute possibility of becoming sensationalized.

  • these are very exciting times

  • can they make a micro black hole that we can throw creationists into?

  • For all of those who make fun of this; they should have ring side view.

  • I'd love one!

  • Yes please :)

  • Would the singularity be nekked?

  • ... and look like Anne Cook =P

  • Wow! Thanks for posting this.

  • Another great Irish scientiist!

  • They need to work on their "Yay"s.

  • They are scientists, don't tempt them.

  • I was on a visitors tour there and I accidentally turned a light on in the guest bathroom... they sent me an electric bill for 52 million euros in the mail last week

  • I think you hit the switch for Black Hole Emission, which is right next to the light switch. They also keep a pitcher of antimatter next to the orange juice in the fridge.

  • I knew it would happen.

    We're now the alternate universe.

  • it's all greek o me

    but it is amazing

  • Where is the Black Hole? The Explosions? Wheres the fucken Interdimensional Worm Hole that Givues us a Path directly into Hell? Wheres the Aliens?

    Boring...

    lol.. top video

  • "Science has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next 10." Neil Armstrong

  • I've been reading about this on some myspace blogs for the past few weeks. It will be interesting to see what scientists will be able to find out :)

  • I wish i had my own LHC

  • o what fun it must be to be working on a project where you take sub-atomic particles and hurl them with as much force as a jet-plane.

    hilarious how people thought this thing might be a weapon... the only thing it can destroy is itself.

    the only thing i've never heard about this thing is, how they get their particle packets... how do you obtain, contain, and then release, at will, sub-atomic particles?

  • hehehe! boom! hehehe!

  • I hope not, it would suck should the machine be shut down for another 1 year repair

  • 'Bout time!!

    JK.

    Yay!!!

  • As a funny analogy, you could say this is more complex than organizing a gangbang of 100 bipolar virgins with ADHD and anger management problems after each drinking some cans of redbull and wielding a loaded handgun.

    To pull it off requires a large and finely tuned team of certified geniuses and no major incidents.

  • No mini black holes yet?

  • yes but they immediately closed.

  • Oh I did not know that.. thanks.. -2?

  • -3! stop asking questions!

  • @Discipol: That's why you're not a nuclear physicist.

  • never claimed or wanted to be

  • baby steps

  • i don't understand why it takes 1 year to do another stronger attempt. its not like they have to replace pieces of it (again)... and its not like they will have to accumulate energy from the generators that will take 1 year. or are they making hundreds of attempts with extremely small increments?

  • That's a huge machine, everything has to be synchronised, etc. And it's expensive, and dangerous (in the sense that a non guided beam of high energy particles can be powerful enough to bore holes), thus the precautious steps necessary. Also the different experiments involve a lot of people that have to be around to ensure that everything goes smoothly with all the sensors and stuff.

  • discipol:

    the LHC is a prototype. they only built one of it, and it was damn expensive, and when it breaks its damn expensive to fix.

    "or are they making hundreds of attempts with extremely small increments?" exactly. you got it. just like a test pilot spends weeks with a new prototype airplane until he attempts to go near the predicted limits of what the new airplane can do, and even longer until he dares to go over those limits.

    they will get there eventually.

  • that satisfies my inquiry. i would think the previous smaller ones where the prototypes. if this is still a prototype, then perhaps an even stronger one could be created, if technology continues to offer new improvements such as safer / cheaper materials or more precise techniques. i am sad that this even wasn't properly presented by the mass-media, at least in my country. black hole - end of the world fever was pretty bad here, hope it cooled down and people researched into it more.

  • This is past prototype stage. It is the real thing. All six billion plus pounds worth of real technology.

    Higgs particles , etc , all soon to be proved or disproved.

  • Though others may correct me, I think "prototype" was an inaccurate word choice.

    The LHC is an experimental apparatus, not a design model, not an original model from which 'LHC Mark II's' will be mass produced.

    Where, for example, an experimental reactor could be a prototype for a multitude of power station reactors, there will only ever (probably) be one LHC.

  • discipol:

    an upgrade is already planned, they will now slowly drive the machine to its maximum energy and then do some experiments, and then they will shut it down and do modifications to make it even more powerful. i think they will increase the amount of particles in the beam. its all in the wikipedia article about the LHC, or you can also get the information from the official LHC website.

  • Your point is well made but is "prototype" quite the right word to use?

    I think that calling the LHC a "prototype" is a bit of a misnomer. It is an experimental apparatus, not a design model, not an original model from which 'LHC Mark II's' will be mass produced.

    Where, for example, an experimental reactor could be a prototype for a multitude of power station reactors, there will only ever (probably) be one LHC.

  • yes, maybe i shouldnt have called it a prototype.

    bad choice of wording on my part.

  • Discipol,

    I believe they had to abandon restart in Jan 2009 because of the winter months. Some of the superconducting magnets failed. To power them up in the winter months will take up too much energy.

    The plan was to restart around this time. They announced that after repairing the damage and cleaning up the spillage.

    All to revised plan.

  • LHC is the largest and most complicated piece of machinery ever built by mankind.

    Another atempt to turn it on after repairs without making sure eveything works fine could be very costly mistake.

  • I'm sure that they're doing everything they can to make sure that it will work correctly,

    I don't know why you would assume that they aren't taking precautions considering they had to make repairs on it for over a year.

  • The repair did not take a year. The liquid coolant was swept up very quickly. As mentioned, it was the time of the year, winter, that made them decide to restart this time when the temperature condition is ideal.

  • Science is win.

  • LHC is cool. Looking forward to first results.

  • Nice!

  • YAY!

  • Finally, back online.

  • Has this video been speeded up or do they really talk that fast? Perhaps they've been trying to follow the beam in real time.

  • It is speeded up, 10% according to annotation, to fit the youtube time limit.

  • Yeah wondering that too. From how jerky they & the people in the background look I think it's been speeded up. Annoying
