How Does the Large Hadron Collider Work? | Ars Technica 

I couldn't even listen the end whit headphones.

LOL, indeed. But... what is the music?

​@@marcosavbg Seriously! Assuming the original audio was properly mastered, but whoever made this video didn't listen/care/understand/notice/etc, I wouldn't mind knowing who made it at all! Well... the subtitles would have been a natural place to throw a harmless bone to the music guy/gal/band and they didn't (instead describing it, here, as "[Music]" and on Ars, IIUC, inexplicably, as "". Which seems like maybe they didn't want to tell us or didn't know. Or, maybe they accidentally drag-dropped the wrong audio file into the track at the last second before hitting "save" and said "good enough, whatever, but who the hell is that!? Maybe the subs guy didn't know and tried to call the production guys but they were out having a taco and left their phones in the car.... My hunch, is, if you called them on the phone, found the right department where they actually cut this video, and asked nicely... they'd be able and willing to tell you. Note the "main" place for this content is presumably, in their minds, the ArsTube, or whatever you want to call the embedded video player over on their website. Comparatively, it plays on garbage audio codecs (or, maybe on fine codecs but at very low bit-depth, etc. -- basically it sounds like GSM, masking the horrible redlining in a sea of equally horrible compression artifacts :))

Who cares.

Lol 😂

Lmaoo

LOL😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 It made my day.

@Spok you sound kinky for protons

@Spok well I can't argue with that. Did you see her in that 90s french movie?

SUN and Moon laughing

It is because as the music gets louder the protons have more relative mass.

Lol

Lol 🤣

Your voice Accelerated...The Music got louder and Faster... causing : Crassness ...😑

😂 😂

??

Lol

particle accelator terrible weapon will destroying everything

We may have to bring in our friend from Yonkers!!

@@nichsa8984 no one said its a weapon, it also can be something good

I love this stuff

It’s because most of us mere mortals can’t follow what this guy is talking about. As pleasant as he is and as clear as he is the subject matter is still over the head of many people, moi included!

Monday 7/5.

today

Nope! Its exoteric explanations for esoteric search for the god / deamons that was cast out of this realm.... research from some other sources!

@@W4Ynet if you're serious I suggest you see a psychologist as soon as possible.

How did you like the distorting music toward the end? Was that clear for you? Clear that Arse Technica was more concerned about cheaply and clumsily forced presentation than what the heck this guy was saying?

Oh, really? What is that goal?

To bring their Messiah / Antichrist / Dajjal come down to earth from other dimension.

@@mysticalhaze8837 Oh yeah makes sense 😂

I actually liked that part!

@@gyunayify not if you have headphones

@@nora_8080 I did tho

It was a distraction from his simple and interesting explanation of how it works. Annoying but it was still worth watching.

Mario Kajin thats just plain rude. Don’t be disrespectful. Enjoy the video. If you hate the noises then leave. You don’t have to be plain rude and pay attention to every single little part. Big shame

Yeah because God makes sense

rise and shine, mister freeman. rise and shine

I'm still lost, what does it do as afar as the world in general?

Easy, hydrogen atom has a proton and an electron. By Ionizing a hydrogen atom only the proton remains and BAAAAM, we have a proton.

yeah its so easy to make a hadron collidor

Wormhole theory, eh? Cliché

Fold what? space is the absences of objects, right? How can you fold nothing?

@@OOspazOO space is nothing, atoms are nothing, we are nothing

I really wanna use that joke w/o sounding like the nerd I am

This gets misspelled all the time even on published works.

To learn more about their structure. What we have found so far is that the protons are made out of even smaller particles named quarks and gluons. There's a whole new branch of physics called particle physics. Its job is to study these fundumental particles (you can look up the standard model of particle physics). So far we have been able to explain three of the fundumental forces (electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, strong nuclear force) by this standard model but gravity hasn't fitted into the model yet. A hypothetical particle called graviton may be responsible for gravity but no evidence of its existence have been found. It's a very interesting branch of physics. I suggest you learn more about it :)

@@shayanmoosavi9139 but what will colliding them do? How will we get to know its structure by colliding them?

@@nihaal7750 think about it this way. Suppose we have two hollow glass balls which we can't see inside of them and inside them are 3 metal balls. By colliding them hard the shell will break and the metal balls will scatter. This is a simplified version of what happens in a particle collider. They'll collide bigger particles like protons and even some ions together with an extremely high velocity (almost at the speed of light) and study the scattering pattern of the smaller particles that emerge. They're called elementary particles because they're not made out of anything else (at least as far as we know). for example electron is an elementary particle but a proton isn't an elementary particle because it's made out of quarks and gluons. This is as far as I currently know about it because it's an advanced subject.

Matt S I hope tax payers money isn’t going to this

Matt S I want to know why it exist There has to be more to it than just colliding hadrons Will colliding hadrons make people live longer? Can it feed a nation? Can it make my bills lower? Will it make people smarter? Will it help us discover habitable planets? People keep telling me how it works But not why we need it I hope it’s not just a expensive science toy

@@WI-FI_GOD It exist to help scientist probe subatomic particles and learn more about them. You know the very same particles we utilize in everything from the light bulbs in your house to the LEDs on your screen allowing you to type information.

alin alin Ok My small brain is getting it now

@@WI-FI_GOD It is interesting stuff if you feel like reading up on it. Plenty of potential applications and further understanding to be achieved.

Podes explicar?

Are you a shill? None of these things were great, especially the ever-louder distorting music at the end. Arse Technica seems less interested in information and more interested in forced presentation to the point of low quality.

@@timothyjholloway Opinions are like armpits: we all have them; most of them stink.

my guess is it would be harder to keep the particles from crashing into the sides of the tube. From what they said that's already kind of hard with the large one.

Exactly, @Madhava Kinnicutt. The centrifugal force would grow exponentially and it would be too hard to keep the beam in its path.

see 3:17, the same reason why the turns on highways are much larger and gradual than those in neigborhoods

yup

Gives us a better understanding of physics

I respect the humility sir. I agree with you. This is great.

It's to open a pit to hell

*nearly the speed of light.

what drug do you take?

@@adramelene7961 astral projection

@@renzojose6555 nope you need light speed to travel into another dimension

@@fernandomiami5621 only light can travel at its speed

If you consider receiving a lethal dose of alpha and beta radiation a superpower then yes.

unicorn farts.

No, the protons have mass...they can only approach speed of light, never attain it. Gravity might affect the Standard Model as we know it but it's very small effect. Even if a collider is made in zero gravity, it won't have much significant changes in the results for us to detect.

Not quite. Earth's gravity well certainly effects the particles in the collider, but C (the speed of light) is, to the best of our knowledge and understanding of current physics models, the hard speed limit in the universe. Not to say that CERN would object at all to having a collider in orbit, or even better/cooler, in deep space between Earth and Mars. Give them a blank check, and the entire scientific community would be all over it.

Ever since I read through it I get slightly triggered when hearing "CERN"

Ayy be careful

xRoGeSx I hear you

Maddu scientistu!

El Psy Congo

Yes

Time is a measurement not a thing you can move through or ride in or on or interact with physically in any way. That just doesn't make any sense, dont be fooled.

@@OOspazOO if not a time travel machine then maybe a universe collider?

@Covye Hayden collider that opens a portal to the underworld & bringing in these demonic entities lol or am i just high😭

Time travel is a fairy tale.

@@christina7981 you dont know that, it'd be better to have it in mind rather than not believing it at all. You dont know what these governments & world leaders can do. For all we know they control weather, got bigfoot locked away & did 9/11🙃🙃🙃

Good question that shows lots of curiosity. I like that. The beam pipe the LHC uses is pretty small. Fitting inside would, well, require you to be compressed to less the diameter of a soda can. That already can't be good for you. On top of that, it is a near total vacuum and is at minus 270 Celsius. You'd be turned in to a long, thin, meat popsicle at that point. The full "nominal" beam in the LHC contains quite a bit of total energy. Most of the beam would pass right through whatever shape your popsicle-body took inside the beam pipe. What part of the beam did interact with your body would deposit a fair bit of energy. It would result in the machine immediately detecting a fault and the beam would be removed from the machine in a fraction of a second. If we turned off all those safety systems and just let it go... It would probably cause your popsicle shaped corpse to be cooked near instantly, resulting in a small steam explosion from the water (your body is mostly water). This would probably destroy a dipole magnet or two, and make one heck of a mess someone would have to clean up. It would probably take a few months to fix, and leave everyone baffled as to how you got stuffed in there without anyone noticing. Overall, I wouldn't recommend the experience.

@@Usul Thank you for your detailed response. I didn't know that the beam pipe was so narrow!
