  • Exciting, gripping and informative. Very good questions asked to unravel what CMS detctor and Higgs research is all about. Step by step Vivek Sharma is our guide explaining complex questions with an understandebel language for people without scientific background. (Like myself) Well done. Thanks alot for this. Beautiful!

  • I love uctv

  • If the HIGGS MECHANISM is not resolved here, then the STANDARD MODEL of PARTICAL PHYSICS will attain ZERO MOMENTUM. And, that would be an achievement. Sorry Mr. Weinberg, et.al.

  • I second OldSchoolSkill's notion, what a refreshingly well conducted interview. Thank you very much.

  • Great stuff. One question though: why is the interviewer holding a pen? is he summarizing? does he have to take a quiz after the interview?

  • @OldSchoolSkill Thrilled that we could give you fresh information. Stay tuned to UCTV for more from CERN in 2012!

  • Beautiful

  • @aluisious "If they don't find the evidence then the theory is inaccurate."

    I prefer the term "incomplete"...

    Oh, blast it. I was going to refer to Asimov's essay "The relativity of wrong" & split some hairs about people's misconceptions re: how science works. But then I just deleted it all & decided to say that if not finding the Higgs spares us from further bad analogies about Einstein or Maggie Thatcher pushing their way through the room at a cocktail party, then it can't be all bad. ;-)

  • @OldSchoolSkill Sure, I don't consider that to be "heavy" at all. You knew that before the video started.

  • I don't need to hide the fact that the new purpose for my life is to hunt old hag criminals.
