The Royal Institution
Two years ago, the Higgs Boson was discovered by the ATLAS and CMS experiments. But how precisely does it fill its role as the last missing piece in the Standard Model of particle physics?

The Large Hadron Collider will restart in 2015 with almost double the collision energy to test just that. But even then, this theory only accounts for 5% of the Universe, and does not include gravity.Can the LHC shed light on the origin of dark matter? Why is gravity so much weaker than the other forces? Dr Pippa Wells explains how the LHC will explore these mysteries of matter.
Pippa Wells was the Inner Detector System Project Leader on the ATLAS Experiment at CERN. ATLAS is one of two general-purpose detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It investigates a wide range of physics, from the search for the Higgs boson to extra dimensions and particles that could make up dark matter.

what a waste of money…….this money can be used for distributing Islamic scripture al quran to all over the world where it will surely help the people…or even we can build mosque all over the Europe..
Outstanding work being done here.
call me a dumbass but if the Electron can absorb and also emit a photon couldn't we say the photon is a [component ] of the electrons makeup?
I spoke to a woman back 2007 who worked at cern and had just left the project. She was extremely scared and it was hard to get info out of her but what I did learn was that the entire operation was incredibly secretive and compartmentalized. She basically only knew what her collegues in her department of about 10 others knew. It was only as she discovered more about the operation she (as a Christian) realised she couldn't continue and it was all against God, like a weapon against God and mankind. I only befriended by chance as I had heard that most of the planets gold supplies were being moved to Geneva as other metals simply didn't work aswell, I left a comment on a video and she started p.m.ing me (as you could back then). Like I said she was very scared and I didn't press her too much for info even though I was dying to know! It was only the fact I was a Christian that she spoke to me at all. She confirmed the gold thing and said that workers on every level were losing their minds and there seemed to be a very high turnover of staff. I spoke to her for about a week and she closed her account. Such a shame, I wish I'd pushed harder for info now and skyped etc. Oh well. I just think we need to keep a close eye on what they're doing here. This lady is giving us the state approved explaination and no more. She never mentioned that this experiment started in a university where people began to go insane! They claimed to be seeing things like ghosts! So they moved it underground.
She said that the electrons fly around the nucleus. She should know better. Some one should have asked her to prove it!.
Recent discoveries revealed the possibility, that the neutrino mass can be at least 10 times higher, then actually assumed.
stupid scientists
idiots, what are you try to do? idiots. are you going to take the responsibility after or you will say accident? idiots behind this is some idiots that they will use it for other reasons that all we know. idiots idiots idiots
It seems as if every You Tube video devoted to CERN is rapidly infested with pseudo-religious and pseudo-scientific trolls.Nowadays I just block the cockroaches, rather then try to argue with them.
nice
Where did the decade particle go?
Why cut off the qa part?
What the particle shell made of?
I keep getting old spice ads with Trevor from GTA V. Dont remember his real name. Hes in The Walking Dead too. Part of Neagans group. Funny dude.
I wish they would find out why is everything eating each other.
Why am I here??
At present, the most massive particle obtainable in the 1 Tev capability of the LHC is the Top quark of the 178Gev range. In future if the LHC capability is increased to 10 Tev, new, more massive particles will be discovered, and if that capability is further increased to 100 Tev, yet more massive, new particles will be discovered. Thus the 8-fold way pattern of the Standard Model is not the limit of the particles zoo, which after all, are just waves of shorter and shorter wavelengths, and higher and higher frequencies which intercept the projectile particles.
Very good explanations – thanks.
Ed Leedskalnin and Tesla both described a similar particles many decades before anyone else.
*With so many collisions at the LHC…
Its hard to find the H ,I, double G.
That's my science rap*
Why does Michael Faraday's desk have a hole in it? When did they cut it? In drawing there was no hole . This is the real mystery
Seems like only employees of CERN comment.
Always universes are created 5 in parallel. Why 5 70°.
I found the universe formula, I wrote a scientific book about it too. The great secret was "why there's something rather than nothing". Well, the answer is simple. There's something rather than nothing because if nothing exists there are no rules either that can support the meaning of the nothingness. With different words the nothingness cancels itself out. And if the nothingness is impossible, something exists inevitably due to this. Simple if you know it, it was no easy to find it. I solved the greatest mystery on Earth.
‘It’s great that more matter survived from the Big Bang than antimatter’. This apparently allowed us to develop? I understand we could also have developed from antimatter – if that had been the type to survive. It was only a question of one of them surviving.
Not a great presentation. Rattled though it like a textbook. Shame, because she clearly knows her stuff.
I was interested in she said CERN uses a high vacuum…but we're told vacuum isn't empty , that virtual particle appear & disappear so don't they interfere with the beams as they fly around.?
here is an ideea way not try to recreate theese events with quadruple the energy , and while at it you can even maket 100 times fold , maybe you find ouut the origine of hunger in the world …… i know i know i am unfair , but you all smart people could , can and dont do more for the people and less for the powers that be
Outdated info.
If you collide two quarks…
You create a loud quack.🦆
