This star is spinning at 2 million km/sec.? So you're saying this star is spinning around at 6.6 times the speed of light? How is that possible? I thought nothing can travel at the speed of light let alone 6.6 times.
@blazak People are scared for what lies in europa. They have evidence of a lake and pretty sure there is an ocean. Religion on earth would change majorly. Its about time people know that the universe created itself and we are under no ruler
@blazak I want to find out right now. But they keep cutting the mission back if they really don't launch the probe to europa in febuary 2020 ill have no hope of it happening ever it feels like
@rockrollies Pulsars are spinning neutron stars. Neutron stars are super dense cores made entirely of neutrons that are mashed together. White dwarfs are less dense dead star cores that simply glow with residual heat.
(continued) Hence, where the observation was taken effected the results, because of probability, which is a different thing than observation turning the photons into apples or bananas, simply because that was an expected result (yes, I am trying to be a bit funny, but I hope the point it made)
Great video as always Tony! Yeah, the problem with posting intelligent videos is that you get intelligent fans, and notice the small mistakes....LOL. Hopefully most here will recognize those as mistakes though, and get a chuckle. I think your primary fans love the fact that while you are very intelligent, you are not perfect..HA!
If the star is rotating that fast then the outer matter must be moving 200,000,000 km/s then the outer mass must be moving faster than the speed of light 299792.458 km/s.
The problem with the Higgs Boson is that the observer can influence quantum particles, so the actual act of looking for the Higgs Boson might actually cause it to exist. :)
@bicnarok : I know and understand the theory you are working under with that statement (I heard about it), but you ignore the flaws in that ideology. As just one example, you would never find something you or the majority don't expect or imagine. I have an open mind to interesting ideas, and it is interesting, but I would suggest that if a form of that ideology exists, that we are not the controlling factor.
None of these worlds are habitable or life forming. THEY ARE TOO COLD. The inverse square law of energy distribution prevents enough sunlight falling onto these icy worlds. I wish NAS would stop using the excuse that they are looking for life in our solar system. The water under the icy surface of a Jovian moon will have no solar penetration to activate photosynthisis as life does on earth. NASA should do research for research sake and stop pandering to foolish notions.
@CHAS1422 You need to check your facts. Scientists are aware there's not enough light to sustain photosynthesis around Europa. They don't pretend otherwise. What they're hoping is that the purported ocean is in contact with the warm rocky mantle. Look up 'Hydrothermal Vents' in Wikipedia. Scientists think if Europa has these hydrothermal vents they might be able to sustain life. It's a big if but it's worth trying to answer the question.
@sidoney101 I love NASA and I'm all for the exploration. They are the best. I don't like the constant specualtion of the existence of life within the solar system as justification for a mission because they are likely to find none. It is better to keep long shot speculation at bay rather than establish missions on a failed premise. The fact they can send sensory machines that return detailed environmental information is a good enough of a goal that can be a fully predictable success.
@CHAS1422 "did you deduce all of that by taking off your sunglasses on a Who song?!" well... Im with you man.. you sound far more intelligent than all the thousands of astronomers & scientists employed by NASA. You should take over and be a one man NASA employ
@djbb975 In the way you word your comment, If they find life on Jovian moons, then I am wrong, If they don't find life on the Jovian moons then I am right and the thousands of NASA scientists are wrong. I predict that no life will be found,yet I do not consider myself to be more knowledgeable or intelligent than the scientists at NASA. As an engineer, & ameteur astronomer, I understand the many of the tenets of rocket construction and orbital dynamics, and enjoy the work they do.
@tdarnell How come the NASA website has no mention (as far as I can find) of the Europa lander? Anyway, I hope it happens in 2020. Probably be delayed by 5 plus years if past missions are anything to go by. Europa, I think is the absolute jewel (after Earth) of the Solar System. I hope I'm around when our intrepid robots beam back the first pictures of Europa's ocean.
Love the videos, Tony. But you're about the last person I would expect to have to remind that there is no such thing as "centrifugal" force. It is centripetal force, the force which makes a centrifuge work!
@TsunamiBeefPies Neither "centrifugal" nor "centripetal" are fundamental forces of nature. They are, however, equally useful terms. Centrifugal being essentially the inverse of centripetal. How many sling psychrometers can swing on the head of a pin? Who cares. ;-)
@atomspace They have no rest mass. But they are moving - so they have energy. And so they have an effective mass - that's where Einstein comes in with Emc^2. So photons are also influenced by gravity.
if confirmed would the discovery of the Higgs boson, give early hints as to the validity od string theory? And I am waiting until 2030 edition of Space fan news the probable news from Europa could be earth shattering.
@homousios Finding evidence for supersymmetry would be more important for string theory, and so far there are no indications of it, which is problematic!
I rarely ever comment, but I have to say...I ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!! By far my most favorite subscription. You are an inspiration Darnell. Keep looking up, yourself.
If the Higgs boson can only be made through artificial means in accelerators, then how would there be a Higgs field in nature to give mass to particles? Wouldn't there have to be naturally-occurring Higgs bosons for that to happen?
They aren't creating the Higgs Boson per-say. The artificial collisions actually break apart the atoms so we can find evidence for the smaller particles such as quarks and hopefully the Higgs Boson that create those atomic particles. I think the term "create" means that we have to use artficial means to crack open the atom because it takes a lot of energy to do so, a lot more than what happens in a way which we can see in nature. :)
My understanding is that after giving priority to EJSM over TSSM, NASA has now pulled out of EJSM, too. From Wikipedia:
"In April 2011, ESA stated that it seemed unlikely that a joint US-Europe mission will happen in the early 2020s given NASA's budget, so ESA is investigating the possibility of proceeding with a European-led mission."
It seems that Europe is fast becoming the premier player in space science, picking up the many shirked responsibilities of the increasingly slacking US.
so, with this research going into the higgs boson, could that mean we could learn to eventually manipulate mass and inertia? i am thinking star travel here.
@fireluigi12 What?! SR clearly established that no relative *velocity* (velocity has both magnitude and direction) between 2 objects can ever be measured as > c. It doesn't matter what the direction or acceleration is. *Space itself*, measured over vast distances, can expand at > c. But objects within space are most definitely limited to c, rotating or not.
@fireluigi12 That's cool. I apologize for what, upon rereading, comes off as an overly critical tone. I hope my comment was, nonetheless, helpful to you.
Not to be rude, but the statement is meeningless. Something can not rotate at a given speed. You can express it as a peripheral velocity, but it says nothing about how fast it rotates.
@tdarnell LOL i was like hey LHC forget about the neutrino beam here your evidence on travelling faster then light lol. no but i understand typing mistakes can occur great video buddy keep posting more and in the mean time i'll just make sure to keep looking up ;-)
@Gik1618 It is possible, galaxies have been observed to be moving away faster than light. That´s why they say light speed is a "local effect". Maybe the laws of physics are different outside heliosphere´s bubble of protection:) Imagine the time dilation we are under, rotating on our axis, around the sun, around the galaxy and the galaxy hurtling through space at who knows what speed. We are fast folk.
@tdarnell That may warrant an audio dubover and repost. You're going to get a trillion ... I mean a thousand replies just over the FTL rotation speed.
Right now its in a technical stop, action will continue in 2012. But it did work a lot during most of 2011, you can look at the screens they have in their control room online, google for LHC status OP Vistars. But everything works as sheduled, lots of proton smashin in 2011, new world records, recently they did lead ion collisions, again setting world records. Now its time for some improvements/upgrades.
shutdowns, if you want full access, need to be quite long, for two reasons: safely heating it up from close to absolute zero to room temperature takes time, cooling it back down takes even longer, and radiation levels need to go down.
Right now, the cryogenics live page shows that they are letting it heat up, they already are at around 25 kelvin. It needs to go to ambient temperature, you can watch online, will take a few days.
@AXSofHFDS I believe he said $4.7 Billion - still, that's what 1 one of those fighter jets F22 or some shit that doesn't work! - or a handful of bombs
@AXSofHFDS no kidding! Just think of all the stuff we could blow up. I believe the amount is 4.7 billion. That difference will buy a lot more missiles and blow up a lot more stuff.
I always have to laugh at the idea of a Europa mission. Not that its not important or interesting. Just the fact that you have to build a submarine then launch it into space. Lol. But i misunderstood what tony say i think. Would this be a lander to just poke around the surface? Or would it be the nuclear powered melty-probe everyone always talks about?
@electrodacus It is 2 million km/h, he just misspoke. Also, you seemed to misunderstand something, it's not the speed at which the sun orbits the galactic center, its the rotational surface speed of the star itself, which for the sun is ~2 km/s
@desager1 By air must be even more so the delay will be even larger than 12 seconds :) since planes usually fly at 10km altitude so will need to travel about 40106 km.
They also did not mention what direction where they flying :) not that will make any significant difference they will still be late by about 12 seconds.
@desager1 Thanks for clarification it makes sense now.
The plane example on ESA website was confusing and I did also bad calculations they say at this speed 556km/s it will take one minute for a plane to circle the earth.
Earth is 40000km circumference so you need about one minute and 12 seconds but is close enough.
So theoretically a star could be flung to spin faster then this one and we could someday find a star spinning itself apart, now that would be a beautiful sight to observe!
If it weren't for the dark ages, we would have explored the solar system by now. And many religious people are still trying to drag us back to those "good ol' days"
@goreziad i cant wait for the days where we have powerswords like in warhammer 40k and fly trough space, medieval times in the future - just like downtown :D
@goreziad The ancient greeks invented the steam engine, but we didn't start using it until a few centuries ago. Imagine what our world would be like today if the industrial revolution had started thousands of years ago.
@BasicSpace42 did i ask for your opinion retard? no, so fuck off or dont reply if you dont like the comment. watch the video you came here for or gtfo. asshole.
@goreziad (When you say religion you mean Christianity?) please...... tell me who want to drag you to dark ages(about 5th - 10th century). Religion (Christianity) are well aware that these times weren't the good old days.

Another question: does the higgs boson have any similarity to the "graviton" which is a term I have heard used before, though that may just be in string theory.

@AXSofHFDS no kidding! Just think of all the stuff we could blow up. I believe the amount is 4.7 billion. That difference will buy a lot more missiles and blow up a lot more stuff.

I thought they found neutrinos that traveled faster than photons. Wouldn't the photons be a bit caught up by the higgs if this is the case?

I always have to laugh at the idea of a Europa mission. Not that its not important or interesting. Just the fact that you have to build a submarine then launch it into space. Lol. But i misunderstood what tony say i think. Would this be a lander to just poke around the surface? Or would it be the nuclear powered melty-probe everyone always talks about?

@electrodacus It is 2 million km/h, he just misspoke. Also, you seemed to misunderstand something, it's not the speed at which the sun orbits the galactic center, its the rotational surface speed of the star itself, which for the sun is ~2 km/s

@electrodacus The earth has an equatorial circumference of 40,075 km....

@desager1 By air must be even more so the delay will be even larger than 12 seconds :) since planes usually fly at 10km altitude so will need to travel about 40106 km.
They also did not mention what direction where they flying :) not that will make any significant difference they will still be late by about 12 seconds.

@desager1 Thanks for clarification it makes sense now.
The plane example on ESA website was confusing and I did also bad calculations they say at this speed 556km/s it will take one minute for a plane to circle the earth.
Earth is 40000km circumference so you need about one minute and 12 seconds but is close enough.
electrodacus 2 months ago
@electrodacus The correct was 2 million Km/h = 556 km/s = 0.005 c = about 1/200 of the speed of light. Not really that fast.

@electrodacus No problem. 2 Mega Km/s = 6.67 c is only available in Celestia simulations but not in nature.

So the Higgs-Boson particle seems to almost act like gravity. Is this the first step to unlocking the laws of quantum gravity?

So theoretically a star could be flung to spin faster then this one and we could someday find a star spinning itself apart, now that would be a beautiful sight to observe!

Tony, always a pleasure to see you on YouTube. We live in outstanding times indeed.
Ahem... centrifugal force? (4:51) Oops. My bad. You actually said "centrifugal forces..." and that would be more correct (sic)!?

If it weren't for the dark ages, we would have explored the solar system by now. And many religious people are still trying to drag us back to those "good ol' days"

@goreziad (When you say religion you mean Christianity?) please...... tell me who want to drag you to dark ages(about 5th - 10th century). Religion (Christianity) are well aware that these times weren't the good old days.

i dont mean to be picky on details but did you say that the star was rotating at 2 million kilometres per second at 4:43? I'm no scientist, but isn't that impossible?
Great video anyway!
Another question: does the higgs boson have any similarity to the "graviton" which is a term I have heard used before, though that may just be in string theory.
