Large Hadron Collider - The Search For The Higgs [1 of 3]

Back


Click Playlist:
On November, 2007 the most complex scientific instrument ever built will be switched on. The Large Hadron Collider promises to recreate the conditions in the early universe. By revisiting the beginning of time, scientists hope to unravel some of the deepest secrets of our Universe.

Within these first few moments the building blocks of the Universe were formed. The search for these fundamental particles has occupied scientists for decades but there remains one particle that has stubbornly refused to appear in any
experiment. The Higgs Boson is so crucial to our understanding of the Universe that it has been dubbed the God particle. It explains how fundamental particles acquire mass, or as one scientist plainly states: "It is what makes stuff
stuff..."

What will LHC give us: the particle of God, or magnetic trap of Devil. Magnetic trap is an axial-symmetric magnetic analogue of a black hole. It is 10^36 stronger than gravitational black hole.
CERNs specialists do not know about the magnetic trap yet. If microscopic magnetic trap will be made in CERN's LHC, the Earth will be transformed into an infinitely thin emptiness, surrounded by circular current of 6 meter radius. Compare: Schwarzschild radius of such mass is 0,009 meters

i definitely think this video is way too dramatic...

still interesting information though..

"Do you see any one going to the moon now, NO!"

We've BEEN there! Again, how is fundamental research less valuable that visiting a nearby rock (again)? Answer the question.

"You see a bunch of fuck tards verbally masterbateing about blackholes, and particale pyshics. Dark matter and black matter, anitmatter and blue matter.
its a bunch of bullshit"

Because you don't understand it, it's bullshit?

"the standerd model is wrong"

How the fuck do you think that will change? Prayer?!

Look at it this way. We are tiny specs on a tiny spec, that sits on another tiny spec, so what ever we do all this science this argument, your insults do not matter.
All I want is to go to space and explore other universes. Exploration is much more valubale then science.

"All I want is to go to space and explore other universes."

And science is the only way you'll ever get there.

"Exploration is much more valubale then science."

Science IS exploration.

Ok, Look Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition. Alright.

what makes you think its wrong smartass?

"what makes you think its wrong smartass?"

Um, YouTube says you were responding to one of my comments, but you didn't quote what you were talking about, so there's no way to tell what you meant by "it".

the standard model

"the standard model"

I never said it was wrong; that was somebody else (the person I was responding to).

But now that you mention it, it looks like it's generally understood that the model has flaws. Doesn't mean it's "wrong" (it represents our current best understanding), but there are some things it doesn't explain and it's rather inelegant, so the search continues for a more fundamental theory.
