Peter Higgs

[DFTDADAMS]

see "Here it Higgs" on youtube...new physics hammers Higgs Boson flawed experiment

[souro19]

HIGGS IS NOTHING LIKE A DJ SCIENTIST !

WHO JUST REMIXED THE INVENTION OF SATYANDRA NATH BOSE !

SATYANDRA NATH BOSE IS THE REAL INVENTOR OF BOSON AND QUANTUM

PHYSICS !

[artregeous]

is it true they announced it failed from lab ??anyone heard any article report comes from lab?

[unclejay1000]

@artregeous New results to be presented this week at a conference in India all but Eliminate the mid-range where the Higgs - if it exists - might be found. Physicists will now search for the boson at lower and higher energy ranges.Nonetheless, LHC researchers still believe they will Either Have found the Higgs by the end of next year OR confirm that it does NOT exist in the form proposed by the current theory of subatomic particles and their interactions, called the Standard Model.

[artregeous]

@unclejay1000 thanks for the information all the well wishes for the science at the service of humanity and peace

[peterpanmannnn]

Booger poop.

[YezoGomper]

After reading so much misleading and offputting nonsense by the popularisers about the Higgs field 'dragging' particles, I now have a glimmer of an understanding what it's all about, and feel support for the ideas for the first time. Prof Higgs explanation is really lucid. A really good post. However, I think the alternative explanation of mass by standing waves in extra dimension(s) is much more natural, though as yet untestable. Let's see what LHC comes up with!

[coldarc]

the secret to the universe is that every frequency relationship have its pattern. each pattern have two sets of fibonacci numbers that are interrelated.each pattern form a geometry. when there is a constant change in the relationship between pattern the particles involved will change according to the pattern and not some random change caused by a big bang. this reality is completely out of the blue in science. at least in mainstream.

[wkrepelin]

@coldarc I'm so sick of people claiming mystic properties of the fibonacci sequence. It's just a simple recursive sequence. It's not complicated or mystical and the numbers are unremarkable. I call bollocks. Like you'd be posting in comments on youtube if you knew the "secret of the universe." Utter tripe.

[coldarc]

@wkrepelin fibonacci didn't come up with the fibonacci number sequence. it was much older occult knowledge going back as far as the early neolithic age. its based on intersecting circles within circles where the numbers are the geometric shapes added together drawn by a compass like a interference pattern of waves. you find a similar pattern in a lotus flower and snakes. galactic currents also produce these geometric structures as well as intersecting circles but in a progression of time.

[wkrepelin]

@coldarc Yeah, that's exactly the kind of bullshit I'm talking about. Can you follow me around and say other profoundly stupid things to help illustrate my many other arguments? Would you be available for that?

[coldarc]

@wkrepelin yeah. i rather live in a universe based on geometry that reflect what we can observe bullshit or not than live in a universe based on ad-hoc inventions of particles to save a model full of holes where everything is a accident and a spongy ball undetectable small makes up all the interaction of gravity as the one and only mechanism shaping the universe from a big energetic explosion called the Big Bang.

[wkrepelin]

@coldarc well, it's not up to you what kind of universe you live in so just learn to deal with it.

[coldarc]

@wkrepelin that wasn't exactly what i meant, but what can i expect from a narrow minded person like you? geometrical structures is the universe, it wasn't something i made up. it was there long before i was born, it just need someone to see it. i see your are a defender of truths protective layers. gravity modification is possible but do not follow the principles of particle physics as its not based on particles. resonance geometry and standing wave structures is what makes it work.

[wannasaveearthnow]

Like sports bring us together, I'm wondering if knowledge some day unite the whole world as one?

[hartistry1957]

Spin #1? How many "spins" are there? The Higgs Boson and particle physics gives me a boner:)

[defect530]

i should probably watch this 17 times.

[bboyloco3]

I wanna be a Physicist so bad but you got to be really good at math too. Its like this you need to know math to do science but you don't need science for math its kinda like a square is a rectangle but a rectangle isn't a square.

[legochuckles]

@bboyloco3 Math was the first science discovered by man. We've simply built our modern understanding of science on top of the math. Physics is really just complicated math that we used to assemble the theories of quantum mechanics. These are the theories being tested with the large hadron collider.

[fntime]

@bboyloco3 math is a language that allows for no ambiguity, the language

of math is precise. But it's only a language. Without mathematics, you

can make many profound discoveries, only problem, how do you share

the info with others. As they say 'its Greek to me'. (lol)

[TooMuchGass]

@fntime Very few people are able to understand the math at the post graduate level.

[Zee96969696]

well, i must admit that I didn't understand this video

[SASNIGHTCRAWLER]

@opaldragon75 If your not capable of doing this, continue to blow the same smoke they blow up their ass, up your own, because your a typical example of wall painting scientist, you just sit there on the wall with the same answer others creaate, until you are removed and thrown in the bin, for being totaly out of date, oh yes and time lol remove the gravity in your brain and this new dimension will enabe c to travel faster relative to those outside your head. Your amazing 'not' pmsl

[SASNIGHTCRAWLER]

@opaldragon75 As for you amazing remark regarding the LHC creating new things in order for it to work, new technology etc etc etc...nearly every machine since the sharp stick was made,has done this.As you may well know, every war has created an advance in technological understanding and its amazing how advances in better killing can have positive benefits and aid in better living. Now rather than repeat what they tell you,try and do some work for yourself,you know, question it and rearrange it

[SASNIGHTCRAWLER]

@opaldragon75 I see you passed being a memory stick, sorry idiot with flying colours,keep with Time being a dimension and you should do very well.How can blind morons continue to think that gravity isnt a dimension when it controls every aspect of your reality,even time, which may i add is nothing only a particle interaction and nothing else.And to hide this simple fact even more, you create quantum physics theory and field/string and all the other rubbish to justify it. I see no creativity here

[SASNIGHTCRAWLER]

Behold, i give you the guy who had us spend billions on a theory of utter rubbish. He may be very bright, but this doesn't justify everyone jumping on the band wagon in search of some magic field that doesn't exist. Turn energy into a dimension and see what you get. Energy is a dimension but its far too hard for humanity to understand or even grasp at the moment. Its all in front of your faces and you cant see it. Never mind, ok im off to see my m8 at the other side of the universe. see ya.

[kvakkerr]

@SASNIGHTCRAWLER You claim to grasp and understand that which is "far too hard for humanity to understand or even grasp..", yet instead of using you remarkable brilliance to contribute to anything but yourself, you spend your time talking shit online and making crackpot statements you can't back up.

[SASNIGHTCRAWLER]

@kvakkerr hay, i am humanity, are you?whats crackpot about creating a theory about a few known effects that other dont understand, they only see or observe the reaction, they dont know how it comes to be or what it is, use your brain and visualise the effect and then expand on it..thats called creativity, artists have it, its a shame scientists dont, they solve the math of the picture the artist can see.can you explain what matter is, what gravity is, and most of all, do you know what energy is?

[mebiggles1]

@SASNIGHTCRAWLER energy is mass - mass is energy. Gravity is probably a wave created by the distortion of space-time by mass. It may well be relatively weak because it is "felt" by the existence of a large-mass object in a nearby dimension. Your arrogant responses adds nothing to any discussion- instead it masks any value in your arguments The main point is that people who REALLY know about these things don't verbally abuse each other - unlike us armchair theorists and occasional Trolls

[SASNIGHTCRAWLER]

@mebiggles1 probably a wave? a wave of what, some magic energy? you dont know what your talking about m8,i would stay pirched on your armchair if i were you lol REALLY know what they are talking about? they dont know anything, they can observe its interactions and conclude there are maybe other things going on, so look for them, in order to find out how a thing works, but they dont know how anything works yet, Tell me, what is a photon or energy and why does it travel at the speed of light(c)

[megalops07]

@SASNIGHTCRAWLER Your teacher can explain it. Why don't you ask him?

Read more, learn more, than keep writing; Nice start.

[SASNIGHTCRAWLER]

@megalops07 stop being a dick, my teacher is dead i think. Ask your teacher why light travels or interacts at 186k miles per second, and ask him/her what energy is. Then come back to me.

[megalops07]

@SASNIGHTCRAWLER  Light travels??? Are u nuts?? rrsrs never...

Know about curiosity and Higgs ... wait and see!

Ops not sorry for your teacher, anyway!.

[SASNIGHTCRAWLER]

@megalops07 oh and dont just say...because it does...because thats an idiot talking

[SASNIGHTCRAWLER]

@mebiggles1 Gravity is a destortion of space time by mass? why not think about this, gravity is part and parcel of a particle of matter, it increases as the particle increases its velocity, which in other words is an effect of particle mass, so gravity should be the particles attraction to others by the form of some electrostatic or magnetic effect, the reason its weak is because single particles make the gravity...people dont know anything, they assume, they are hoping to find a graviton lol

[SASNIGHTCRAWLER]

@mebiggles1 i will tell you not even Einstein REALLY KNOWS ANYTHING, he observed the interactions and concluded on the effect they created...yet he doesnt know what gravity is, matter is or how it is created or what energy or light is, and why it travels at 186k miles per second,,,all he knows is that its there, and he looked at what it was doing..im taking all that and trying to work out what it is, because i know what it does ffs...

[SASNIGHTCRAWLER]

@mebiggles1 you daft sod stop taking the piss lol

[mebiggles1]

@SASNIGHTCRAWLER Troll.........



[kvakkerr]

@SASNIGHTCRAWLER To assume that scientists are in any way less creative in their thinking than artists is extremely arrogant and demonstrates you don't know any scientists personally- or know too few. What a shame. Scientist break many more creativity boundaries than artists. While some are certainly stuck in their old ways many are not. Thinking "outside the box" is a scientific 'invention', like it or not. Artists, like scientists, stretch boundaries by building upon existing knowledge

[SASNIGHTCRAWLER]

@kvakkerr i ill tell you, you know nothing, no one does, they only know what it can do...so think past your cup of tea and get your brain working rather than rely on others to think of it which could take, oh lets say another 1000 yrs if they all have the same attitude you do, Creativity is what makes humanity fantastic and different from the others, Anyone can learn a script, its what you do after you learn it that matters, how you can break it down and evolve it into something new.

[SASNIGHTCRAWLER]

@kvakkerr can you tell me why is c constant ?

[usenetposts]

This is where UK people can feel proud of what the education system used to be. I hope there are still at least some vestiges of it left. Most of what the modern UK school churns out is not very promising, putting it mildly.

[kryckeestrooff]

NAZI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spicym1ke]

CHEK THIS OUT, I CAN SHOW YOU WHEAR TO LOOK FOR ANTIGRAVITY!

ITS ALLLLLL AROUND YOU!

RIGHT B4 YOUR EYES!

HITME UP@ MEGALBEGAL@YAHOO.COM

[gadgetable64]

Why don't physicists research Mass from the speed of light's point of view? Instead they research Mass with the idea that Mass with in sub-light is the Norm. of the universe.Light is the constant field by which all Mass is gauged in terms of it's Speed/spin/Inertia, so it seems logical that Mass from how it acts looks & interacts from the perspective of light or how Mass looks to something moving at the speed of light would answer somethings about the nature of Mass....

[Mekiwyn]

@gadgetable64 I think it boils down to actually accelerating soemthing with mass to the speed of light requires infinite energy and it reaches infinite mass no? when the LHC collides particles at nearly the speed of light, which is what i think you're saying here they are approximately 7000 times their initial mass at rest. I think this implys that as they accelerate their interaction or drag on the higgs increases causing a greater mass.

[Juefawn]

According to the standard atomic model, without the graviton, one the particles, or the whole of them so constructing the the atom, can be thought of as the cause of gravitation. For mass to have gravity below the inverse of the speed of light, according to Newton all it takes is an absence of mass, and therefore an absence of a number of atoms composing mass, which seems to be the most logical idea.

[Juefawn]

What keeps mass below the speed of light is the weakness of gravitation. A particle responsible for keeping mass below the speed of light (Higgs Boson) is also the cause of weak gravitation; if such particle indeed exists...

[phillyboyyy]

i wonder what all these particles look like

[spicym1ke]

@phillyboyyy

[spicym1ke]

@phillyboyyy IF YOU HAVE ANOPEN MIND I CAN SHOW YOU. THE MORE PEPOLE YOU DO THIS WITH THE BETTER.

@NIGHT TURN OFF ALL LIGHTS, AND GO TO A ROOM WHEAR NO LIGHT CAN REACH YOU,THEN JUST LOOK AROUND.

WHAT YOU WILL SEE IS TINY~TINE DARK PARTICLES INTERACTING WITH OTHER PARTICLES.WICH SHOULD LOOK LIKE STATIC FROM A TV-SET.

[lindseyradabaugh]

I find it interesting, mdma4life, that you can blame the liberal media for labeling the term 'the God particle.' Seems rather convuluted to me. It's amazing to me the remarkable number of people that put their faith in the most recent scientific 'discovery' or 'theory' which will simply be modified and/or dispelled in the next 10 years.

[kelbungle]

my last name is higgs

[turbo2gq]

Dark matter could be what gives particles mass and not a higgs field.

[OrionMetallica]

@turbo2gq I'm guessing you're learning year 11 physics to come up with a response like that

[kyokookanami]

Yeeeeaaaaaaah!!!!

I'm gonna go to the University of Edinburgh!!!!

[HabloIrlandes]

The LHC is presented to the world as the mechanism for discovering the Higgs boson, the particle responsible for giving matter its mass, but that is only a small easily digestible part of what the LHC can discover. If the LHC can validate supersymmetry, that would be a massive discovery.

[andyandyband]

The ark of naptishim is the creator's

[luckystrke]

I hope he lives to see the results from LHC. When are they gonna bring it up to full speed? around 2012?

[TheGeoffable]

I did a little Blender model of a Uni building in Edinburgh recently....if you look carefully there's a brilliant portrait of Peter Higgs in the background...search "Peter Higgs Portrait" and you'll get some better views, it's a cool picture.

I want it for my wall :)

[Eero59]

Been fascinated with particle physics since I was a kid, looking at the curly tracks in bubble chamber photos.

Exciting to think that one of the more interesting players of the Standard Model might be experimentally confirmed in my lifetime.

[TheVladimirtk]

This guy is really smart =) but I really hate 1 thing look at the number of visitors in intresting subjects of particle fisics black holes gravity elecromagnestism strong and the weak nuclear forces... etc... look at the number of visitors there and where it sas Large hadron collider black hole its at least triple if its from relativelly same time (posted) and music is in possibly millions =/ hate that in our society that is the reason we arent time traveling much into the future today =(.

[lxskolp]

@TheVladimirtk What the fuck are you trying to say. Learn how to spell for Christ's sake.

[Tapecutter59]

Brilliant and humble, a wonderfull combination. His blunt admission that he could be wrong reminds me of Feynman's attitude to discovery => watch?v=lytxafTXg6c

[rbolo29]

If you watch meltronx com you'll notice the LHC is having a lot of problems.

[NederlandSagan]

This guy is brilliant. Shame he doesn`t get the recognition like some other people do. If a guy like Peter Higgs was an Americans he would be all over channels like CNN and be world famous even to the ordinary public. While CNN claims to be international it`s as much international as the Freaking KGB was Japanese. Ipod, Ipad, Tiger Woods, Ipad, Obama, Obama, Ipad, Space shuttle, Ipad, American Wind energy, Ipad, Internet speed in America, Ipad, Ipad, International news channel my freaking ass.

[C3asar1Sh0me]

@NederlandSagan 1000000% agree



[Typho0n86]

They are never going to find the higgs boson, beceause it doesnt exist. Gravity does not work that way, Good night!

[SoCalFlya]

His English accent is very light, it's interesting.

[mattja9]

from what i here. if i get a chance to make something in eternal space i need to build in a exercise for everyone every way.

[nickharvey7]

Nice video! it will be interesting to see if we find the Higgs particle or not

[tallpaul65]

When they find the Higgs i hope they are careful, seems kind of dangerous to be messing with, hopefully its not Homer Simpson in the control room.

[NeedsEvidence]

Peter Higgs has an amazing resemblance with Andres Segovia in his old days.

[1czelaya]

If anyone is interested, Chp.9 of Brian Greene's "The fabric of the cosmos" does a wonderful job of describing the Higg's field and Higg's boson in a more technical form that anyone can understand. Reading that chapter alone will help in understanding why the existance of the Higg's field makes particles physics much easier to understand.

[1czelaya]

The mathematics dealing with this level of theoretical construction is difficult. Just when I thought I had a good framework of Quantum Mechanics(3 graduate semesters) I thought I could take Quantum Field Theory(QFT) and was put in my place rather quickly.

One thing has become apparent. As you progress to smaller and smaller scales thing get more and more abstract to comprehand and the mathematics becomes more advanced and abstract.

[EWHiggs]

To understand the Higgs mass and the Higgs Field you must establish an initial inertial frame of reference: a still non-moving point of mass observation where Life started from. You cannot logically ask where mass came from because mass had not moved yet. You can only ask why it moved and the answer is it moved going into oscillation due to it's own gravity. There are two separate inertial frames of reference: the weak force where mass is found and the strong force where mass made space is found

[DeadKlown6]

Mr. Higgs is the closest thing to the imagination of god.

[proko77]

A good description, it taught me a few things I didn't know.

[KaOssis]

Nazi half brained Schitzo Higgs isn't intelligent enough to read a Right Hemisphere Syn(SINE)aesthesis Bosse Thesaurus Code Book; i.e; 2 Kings 18:18, Sennacherib = Dust, and Hezekiah = Return's, and that's only AFTER you're DEAD and Burried, because ONLY Nature can make Neutrinos with the Earth's Lay Line Grid and the Van Allen, man never shall, and that's a fact!

[KaOssis]

Higg's is deliberqately ignorant, call's his Schitzophrenic Muinchausen a God particle!

[chrissie1066]

Gawd - there's some bosos trying to understand this...If you can't take it in, don't take the p**s out of it, you're just showing how ignorant you are!

[mikeroephonics]

@chrissie1066 +1,000,000

[samgee2007]

if you are muslim and living in britain pls kill this man peter Higgs cause he is trying to undermine islamic science!

[gangsterdave2000]

your an idiot

Here you go: /watch?v=UHW6nsKbW0Q

Also, your request for Peter's death has been reported to both YouTube Administrators as well as the British Gov't. Have fun with that.

[dudeandsparky]

i like big bosons

[keggerous]

what?

[Echosystem]

Oh my.. I just discovered something more amazing then the Higgs particle! I will call it spell check!

[Echosystem]

You people with your dumbass comments are another reason why none of us should be saved.

[alberteinsteinxC]

the space gives the mass to the universe, becouse the higgs' fields.

the universe has espace and mass, its equaly.

[evilsinz]

(Sci-Fi perspective) Perhaps every black hole in the universe was once home to intelligent aliens performing this experiment? Black holes are like some sort of dooming milestone in intelligence, like a cosmic puberty that doesn't get you laid, but just reeaaaaally fucks you.

Except instead of Boson, they probably named it like waaki wanga bonk bonk wayayayay!!.. stupid aliens.

[ignorantwhiteguy]

Yes that's it! You've solved the mystery! it's not the Higgs Boson...it's the waaki wanga bonk bonk boson!...Here have a medal!

[ignorantwhiteguy]

now fuck off...he's my relative!

get back to playing with your little wanga there...pube-boy

[evilsinz]

What does him being your relative have to do with the price of rice in china?

[ZZ009966]

Fucking loser is wetting his bed every night dreaming of finally getting his nobel prize... then the LHC will find nothing and he'll get it deep in the ass ha ha lol

[JustWonderingHowToDo]

That guy is smart.

Respect!

[demosj]

This guy is so intelligent it's infectious: I actually became smarter just by listening to his voice.

[souro19]

@demosj SATYANDRAN NATH BOSE FIRST INVENTED ABOUT BOSON THEORY, (THEN HIGGS WAS YOUNG)

THEN NO ONE LIKE HIM AND ROYAL SOCIETY IGNORED HIM FOR A BLACK INDIAN !

BUT WHEN MOTHERFUCKER HIGGS (POTTY) REMIXED THE BLACK INDIAN INVENTION ,

THEN HE BECAME HIGGS MATERIAL !!!

THAT'S NOT FIRST ,

MM RADIO WAVE MAKER SEMICONDUCTOR INVENTOR J,C BOSE ARE IGNORED FROM NOBEL FOR

MARCONY GOT THE PRIZE (CAUSE OF WHITE ENGLISH MAN)

[C3asar1Sh0me]

@souro19 Higgs is famous for the HIGGS BOSON you idiot not for bosons in general.Get your facts right.

[souro19]

@C3asar1Sh0me HE IS FAMOUS FOR REMIXED THE BOSON INVENTION !

BOSON+JUST ADD MATH = HIGGS PARTIALS !

WHAT'S A FUCKING SHAMELESS INVENTION !

[yrofot]

@souro19 I suspect SNB would consider you an idiot for all this ranting in capitals. You seem to not understand how science works, namely, building on the work of others. That is why it's so powerful. If you had to reinvent the wheel every time you published a paper you'd get nowhere.

[souro19]

@yrofot HEY YOU ILLITERATE ,SON OF A ILLERATE BITCH !! GOD OF SCIENCE BORN FROM MY COUNTRY ! BEFORE THE HIGGS BORN, INDIAN BENGALI SCIENTIST S.BOSE FIRST DEMONSTRATE AND INVENTED THE CONCEPT OF GOD PERTICALS ! NAMED HIM BOSON ! GOD DAMN WHITISH PETER ADDS MATH TO REMIXED AND MAKE MORE TASTEFUL HER INVENTION ! NAMED NEW REMIXED DJ HIGGS-BOSON, LATER BOSON IS VANISHED BY BBC, MOTHER FUCKER BBC ONE DAY ASIA NUKED YOUR COUNTRY !! RUSSIA,CHINA,INDIA NEVER FORGOT THE REVENGE !

[landin048]

Calm down, calm down. Those of you who are worried for religeous reasons, don't you have faith that God will save you? Those of you worried for scientific reasons, don't you have faith in science and cutting edge technology? Bottom line, when your number's up, your number's up. If it's not, you'll breathe a sigh of relief. We might as well chill.

[Dorfkanal]

I can't believe there are still idiots who think that the LHC will create a black hole that swallows the world *lol*

[9Charnel]

Haha, oh yes there are billions of such idiots, I would be glad if they all commit suicide from their naive fear ^^

[DrDarkEnergy]

Only crazy people can try to create particles with the rest mass more then 1000 masses of nucleon. Hundreds types of particles can be created in the region 1000-7000 aum. Most of them will decay, but some will grow, capturing the ordinary matter. Arrant big-bangers want to touch the particle of God, but thus, they lead us into the magnetic trap of Devil. Magnetic trap is 10^36 times stronger than black hole. Open the criminal cases against global terrorists. Stop Tevatron and close the LHC.

[9Charnel]

Commit suicide, believe me it's for your own good.

[1987filipeson]

The end of world?

fock you,Mother focker!!!!!!!!!!!

hehehehehe

[kciNJNadon]

LOL@ anyone who believes the LHC is destructive beyond a proton. I've done the research. I've done my homework. And all I could find was knowledge and anticipation!

Those who believe that the LHC is a massive "bomb", we shall call you Y2K'ists.

[skunkfromtheashes]

I don't know what to say. I'm quite concearned about this thing making black holes too. Not only that, fusion technology is primarily about turning Hydrogen into Helium and the mass given off is fuel. But then that would give us an atmosphere full of helium.

[MrKevMan]

You are quite concerned because you dont know any better. Im not concerned because i dont know any better. Who wins? Chuck Norris.

[skunkfromtheashes]

no way of knowing what will happen, its a little ironic somebody already died working on it isn't it and they had a bad break in the machine,.

[AZURA888]

only a few people makes the world advance, only a few.

[glcrazy]

mente1964: =))=))=)) WTF ??? Are you on drugs or are you simply stupid. Stop writing idiotic shit, that's retarded.

[sciencemobster]

The Standard Model of particle physics is the most quantitatively precise theory in all of science. All its predictions have been fully verified at CERN and Fermilab to incredible accuracy. The W and Z bosons,were created at CERN in the 80s with the exact masses predicted by the Higgs mechanism. Finding the Higgs is the final piece of the puzzle and requires the higher energies now only possible at the LHC. Much new physics is expected too that will go beyond the Standard Model.

[kciNJNadon]

It's so exciting isn't it?! I'm anticipated with glee! XD

[albedoshader]

Those people talking about why this or that quantum or classical theory is pure hybris/work of the devil/against god's will do in fact thankfully enjoy the outcome of these very theories, they listen to CDs, use navigation systems, play games on their playstations, drive cars with LED lamps, and write self-contradicting nonsense on youtube with their tunnel effect using computers.

[mente1964]

atlas its worst, its a scam, einstein defined mass under the equivalence principle between gravity and acceleration as whirls of space-time, like hurricane ike that attract the faster they turn, so a black hole regardless of size attracts a lot as it turns at c-speed, wilczek found the masses of each quark, the standard model closed, never a particle out of the quark model hs been found but they need funding for bigger machines invented this another mathetmical entelechias to scam 13 billion $,

[jmc8197]

at 0:32 he says "this leading field theorist". Sorry, but he isn't. He came up with his theory in 1964 and he's 76 now. Physics is a young man's game.

[jdbrown371]

No. It's a working man's game. Few people really work at any age.

[catalinaguerrero]

@jmc8197 well from 1964 until now, no other field theorist has come with a more compelling theory, or compelling enough to build a billion dollars experiment to prove or disprove it. Maybe the young men players are too busy masturbating with string theory, so Higgs still is relevant :).

[atlastasparename]

mente1964. The relgious analogy is very apt. We are not dealing with true scientists with these seekers after the Higgs Boson. What true scientist, as did Brian Cox and his colleagues, pluck out of the air a 90+% "probability" of discovering a TOTALLY theoretically particle? These HiggsBosonists are a quasireligious pseudo-scientific cult to whom we have unwittingly provided the means to build a machine that could conceivably annihilate the planet.

They MUST be stopped

[PerfesserJones]

You guys who write about scientists as popes are just dumbasses who understand neither the mathematics nor the theories. As for the 90+ probability, you should consider that this is not the first time a particle was predicted, and then found-- but you'd have to know something before spouting off your ignorant SHIT about popes and armageddon machines, what retards of speculative suspicion, interpreting things based on NOTHING, lost, ignorant, deluded, misguided, fucking stupid-- and annoying.

[atlastasparename]

Is there NO ONE here who can answer my questions regarding the "w" and "z" bosons?

If space has some residual energy itself, i.e. dark energy, perhaps there is some relation between this and the Higgs field? Perhaps they're identical?

If you've ever seen the sequel to 2001... 2010. Dave Bowman's "spirit" answers the question "what's going to happen?" with a rather cryptic, "Something Wonderful."

No one knows for sure... That's the "why" of LHC.

Man is within reach of understanding the things the universe is made of, and strange and wonderful things could happen.

Star-drive... maybe.

Remember later, the day you posted here, and the day the universe changed, and the people who made it happen.

I used to call this field, which gives rise to pair instability and the so called Higgs field, the "Virtual Field" for the simple reason that, as has been stated elsewhere, gravitational fields generate pairs of virtual particles that almost immediately self anihilate each other. At a black hole, they lead to its "fuzziness". Hmm.. that almost makes sense :P

[mdma4life]

Peter Higgs is a STAUNCH Athiest, and he's REALLY pissed that the media reinvented the name of the particle he has spent his life investigating as the 'GOD' particle.

Its fucking stupid what the media does, and how such a remarkably high number of people follow and believe what the media tells them.

[Notcoldsoup]

the coinage of the God particle is hardly the doing of the "media." the media is so stupid they couldn't tell a particle from a chicken, let alone coming up with the well-placed implications of the term God. And it's a bit unwarranted that Higgs is "really" pissed according to you. The term is nothing more than a metaphor.

[Dutchdrummer99]

i agree... infact it`s doing him a huge service.. HIS name has now become synonymous with the god particle... MOST particle`s never get much attention from the media.. Who in the media talks about the W and Z particle(bosons)??? No this will bring his name in the history books for shure...

[markyballack]

It stemed from Dr Lederman the American renowned physisist when he said if we find "the godam particle" the press hopped on and called it the "God" particle

[stevebd1]

Search for 'Press converence with Peter Higgs' where Higgs actually discusses this.

[Juefawn]

@mdma4life you could call it anything, it is just more sensible to some to call it God since their is relation between the definitions.

[vwgtinut]

the end is nigh

[mdma4life]

the end of what?

[St4rdog]

Wow, I'm from Edinburgh and have probably walked down that street.

[hamandcheese314]

Very interesting indeed and very exciting too! Does anyone know when the results will be obtained and publicised?

[raypsi]

Don't look like anytime soon they keep moving it up.

I think they could find the higgs boson with something like the Farnsworth table top size fusor.

[bastianfrom77]

If we are lucky CERN will see something end of 2008. If positive, the results should be definitely "out" during 2009 and Higgs will get the Nobel Price in 2009 or 2010.

If u dont find the Higgs with the LHC the chance that it exists is quite small.

[moxillen]

That would be the worst nightmare. The elusive higgs boson remaining elusive.

[Orione]

Very interesting to hear this explained by the man that the particle was named for! Thank you for uploading this video. I'm not sure what would be more exciting, if he were proven wrong, or right? We'll know before long!
