If you wanna make an omelet you gotta break a few eggs. And by omelet I mean a theory of everything, and by eggs I mean a billion billion subatomic particles obliterated in the next generation of giant particle colliders.

In June, the consortium of Europe’s top particle physicists published their vision for the next several years of particle physics experiments in the EU. A big part of that is the Future Circular Collider, which, if it happens, will accelerate particles in a 100 kilometer circumference underground ring encircling Geneva. It’ll be nearly 4 times the size of the Large Hadron Collider, and it would be capable of colliding particle beams with 8 times the current LHC energy. The hope is that this will open the window to brand new physics - and perhaps break the current deadlock in our quest for a theory of everything. But do the FCC or other upcoming collider experiments really have a chance of succeeding? Today we’re going to discuss the incredibly ambitious plans for future colliders, and try to honestly evaluate their prospects.

It depends a lot on the negative results really. The negative results for a lot of BSM that the LHC generated has been very valuable for exotics, largely because we had good reasons to believe and actually were fairly confident some of them were true. There's the huge difference with the FCC though, that we don't really have any convincing reason to believe that any BSM that we're currently searching for actually exists, just negative results for BSM with the FCC would be a huge blow to exotics, nothing useful.

New particles can certainly change our understanding of the SM, what if we find a particle that doesn't behave as the SM would predict? What if we don't find things like SUSY? QM mechanics is well understood as you say, but the issue is that a lot of things are not really computable. Have you done any nuclear physics? QM on those scales is an absolute mess to work with. My hope is that a better understanding of particle physics will lead to models that are more easily computable.

Hey, when you said that "we need higher luminosity", I think we should mention the Belle II experiment in Japan. It's an electron-positron collider and it will have the highest instantaneous luminosity (thus integrated luminosity of 50 ab-1 at the end). Its goal is to find indirect evidence (compared to LHC which finds direct evidence) of new physics by searching for signatures of new particles or processes through measurements of suppressed flavor physics reactions or deviations from the standard model predictions! Bigger colliders are not always the solution :) Great video otherwise!

@piguyalamode164 3 года назад

@@angelduenas highly unlikely considering the energies of the particles involved are much much much smaller than amounts of energy we use all the time. Like, a Terra electron volt is a lot in particle physics terms, but is many orders of magnitude less than a Joule(for reference, a Killowatt-hour is 3.6 million Joules). The reason it needs to be so huge and energy intensive is that all that energy is focused into an absolutely tiny space. Even if it makes a black hole the energy involved is so small that the resulting object will be much much smaller than an electron, so it will basically do nothing(even if hawking radiation is not a thing)

Woah! You totally buried the lede there that I never heard before! I had no idea that the Higgs boson was so much lighter than predicted. I try to follow physics as much as a non mathematically trained lay person can, and none of the educational physics videos or articles I've come across ever mentioned that. Edit:that I recalled at least.

@Jesse__H 3 года назад

I'm surprised to hear that! I follow these kinds of subjects only casually, but the one thing I do remember about the period after we found the Higgs was how puzzled scientists were that it didn't match their predicted mass. 🤷‍♂️ so it goes I guess! There are so many sources of information it's inevitable that we'll miss something important eventually.

@NightDescendant 3 года назад

From what I heard (if I'm remembering correctly), the standard model predicted one mass for the higgs boson, supersymmetry predicts another, and they found a value that was somewhere in between the two of them.

@LeoStaley 3 года назад

@@Jesse__H I heard all about how discrepancies in measuring w and Z bosons led to it being theorized, how interacting with it is what gives massive particles their mass, how it was identified via statistics, and then talk of using the lhc to find more particles beyond the standard model, but I guess I somehow missed that. Keeps me humble I guess.

@schokoladenjunge1 3 года назад

Generally, scalar particle masses are expected to be very high unless there's a reason keeping them low. (Unlike for fermions, where the opposite is the case due to protective symmetries.) There were (high) upper bounds on the higgs mass from the masses of W and Z and then further stringent bounds from the top quark. Overall, it is pretty light. In the minimal supersymmetric extension to the standard model, it is predicted to be light, but actually has had an upper bound of around 135 GeV (see e.g. arxiv.org/pdf/hep-ph/9709356.pdf) And while i'm not entirely well versed in SUSY, I've read that it's a bit difficult to get 125GeV. However, none of this really predicts more physics beyond the horizon as far as I'm aware. In fact, using the assumption that there's nothing more, you can *derive* the 125GeV higgs mass from asymptotic safety constraints, which are pretty conservative.

@michals1967 3 года назад

No, in fact the Higgs boson was not predicted to be heavy, because a heavy (>1 TeV) Higgs boson would not do its job. Actually, theory could not predict its mass except that it cannot be too heavy. The problem is that when you calculate quantum corrections to the Higgs mass, they diverge. It's an internal inconsistency of the Standard Modlel: the Higgs has to be light and at the same time there is no way to keep it light. Which is why we believe the Standard Model is not the ultimate theory.

I'd love to hear about Sabine's suggestion, which she mentioned on the live stream, for getting new physics sooner than the FCC: measure the force due to gravity from an object in a quantum superposition of states. That's *guaranteed* to produce new physics and could probably be done far sooner than the FCC will be completed. Shouldn't that be getting more attention, not to mention research money? (For those unfamiliar, we need to be able to put bigger things into superpositions of states and/or measure smaller things' gravitational force, but the gap we'd need to close is four or five orders of magnitude rather than (as I recall) the gap of 30 orders before we can detect gravitons. Sabine's guess as of a few years ago was that we're about 20 years away.)

@MegaManki 3 года назад

As far as I’m aware this is already being worked on. But it’s also really difficult to accomplish due to decoherence effects in macroscopic objects.

@Mosern1977 3 года назад

If someone says: 20 years away => we have no idea if it is even remotely possible. Fusion is 20 years away.

@SuperStingray 3 года назад

I think putting macroscopic systems into coherent states is going to be a big area of focus over the coming decades, because that's an extremely important problem for creating quantum computers with more complex circuits. It will be interesting to see if the technology that makes quantum computers broadly useful ends up helping us prove (or disprove) quantum gravity.

@jyrinx 3 года назад

Mosern1977 Fair, but there's actual progress being made on this, not just hopes for a breakthrough. Besides, at some point the FCC will be two decades off.

@jyrinx 3 года назад

Slartibartfass It's being worked on, but I'm surprised it's not a bigger priority. In particular, people make it sound like we might never be able to probe quantum gravity directly, when actually no, there's a credible path to get there.

@NoSubsWithContent Год назад

fermi-lab did a couple videos addressing that and determined preons would have to be 10,000 times smaller than a proton or something like that, there is always a possibility of them existing but it's gonna take a lot more energy than what we're producing to find them even if we figure out what they decay into. I'm going to assume it's very close to the energy required to create a blackhole.
