Come on a journey into the world of the unseen in search of atoms and quarks, electrons and neutrinos, the forces that shape the universe and the mysterious territory currently being explored at the energy frontier.

Jon Butterworth is the head of Physics and Astronomy at UCL. He works on the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider and has written several books on particle physics.

  1. If a ball that weighs 10kg is falling from a 10m height, what is the kinetic energy of the ball, 4m before it hits the ground? I really need help with this. Can’t seem to find a formula and tomorrow I have a test.

  2. J J Thomson discovered electron. Max Planck discovered photon. Then con men moved in and took physic of matter and space from reality to fiction. made up the rest of nonsense. Nuclei is main particle. Together with electron and photon make an atom. All have structure which you do not know. I have released schematic drawing of photon and correct mass/energy equivalence. I use to think you are too stupid to ask the correct understanding, but I have concluded you are too conning. You have created an artificial line. Studying a fictional idea which provide you job until politician become wise. that it highly unlikely in near future. Mg1

  3. Confusing topic hopping, told way too complicated and uninspiring, a real pain to watch. It's by far the worst lecture on this channel, that usually does maintain an enormous quality.

  4. No one disputes that there are particles that are created by splitting apart Protons, but, are they building blocks of the Proton? No! They are fission Particles and are not evolutionary. They are splinter configurations of an evolutionary configuration that produced the Proton.

  5. Cern has brought us the www. I think we need very small tax on the www to give cern the possibility to continue its success…

  6. Great lecture. What is missing here is the most important research undertaken by CERN (and possibly of all time): the CERN CLOUD experiment, studying the relationship between extreme high energy cosmic ray particles and cloud formation and explaining weather and thus climate on all time scales. Svensmark and others have it working, CERN have denied it. It may well be the most important discovery of our time given the Sun is now quiet and galactic cosmic ray flux is at its highest in (100s of) years and correspondingly extreme precipitation is a daily occurrence. This is very bad times for physics. Step up, do your job, do the physics, not the politics.

  7. What is missing on his map is how trace molecules CO2 and CH4 are causing global warming and are drowning those islands. These trace gases are said to heat the atmosphere by conduction (after being radiated); but air is a very very poor thermal conductor. These trace gases are also said to be the only gases to emit and absorb IR radiation; N2 and O2 (99% of the dry atmosphere) do not, at any temperature. That N2 and O2 do not emit and absorb is a contradiction to quantum mechanics (not to mention thermodynamics) as all matter radiates above absolute 0 Kelvin. Something is wrong, and it is not me. This is the state of physics and all science today.

  8. I commend theoretical physicists and all physicists, but I genuinely believe you guys may be looking in the wrong place for answers. Everything you have found is partial understanding and they all break down at their fundemental levels. You guys may have to first unlock access to the higher dimensions to get further. Something which may never happen as our physical bodies and consciousness of mind only allows 4 dimensions of interaction. For all you know the Mayans and Egyptians etc had access to and knew more than we could ever know. For now I'ma enjoy Interstellar and dream dreams. Good luck!

  9. If speed effects mass, and an increase in mass equates to an increase of gravity, would an increase in speed (like on the outer edge of a galaxy) cause enough gravity to hold the galaxy together.

  10. Hello, my name is Andrew and here it is.
    (unifying theory + key to darm matter adn fater the light communcation)

    i want to share with you, something i wasted my time on. The “First rule” of this universe.
    Eh…. it sound strange, but stay with me for a second. It deep, it really deep.
    This rule is – when energy exchange between two relative points occur, it happens along the path of least resistance. Everywhere, every time.
    The depth here – everywhere, every time. Even in black holes, the guide for evolution, for human behavior, every energy exchange, every time.
    Understanding this depth allow me to predict tomorrow much more precisely.
    Just think about it, how you move through your life, how the brain works. the behavior of animals and insects, any science. This rule in the core of absolute all.
    No one else can show it to you now.
    I want to shout about it from the highest bell tower! It will help people to move forward!

    a key to dark matter or no time for energy exchange
    short version
    Energy exchange limit or limit for two point to interact.
    it is a bit hard to write down this thought for me.
    if two points have relative speed more then speed of light, they not able to interact.
    but they can interact through the third point. (exactly like dark matter)

    1)You know how space can expand faster then light? And it also can curve?
    soo, it most likely can curve true it selfe. and this how it not interacting with it selfe.
    (in black holes space curveture length is extremely small)

    2) How many time need for Sun to exchange energy with you? soo every energy exchange take some "time".
    There for if two point have speed difference more then C, they will have no "time" to exchange energyx, have no "time" for exchange to occure.
    Even if they will share same place.
    also you may see it as, FLT parts in more then one place at a "time" compare to us. For FLT part we in less then one place at "time". (why mass go up)

    it more about interaction limin then about speed of light.
    can be tested, if we will represent a third point.

    long version
    -dark matter in our galaxy, (most likely particles emitted by central black hole)
    is particles that moving faster than light. (most likely you do not "belive" in this)
    if i assume it is correct, then big amount of hydrogen on edge of galaxy, is where this "dark matter particles" decay after losing speed. (decay like new particles from hadron collider)

    -parts of dark matter alredy found, but we do not about it. (perseption(particles from hadron collider))
    -particles found with hadron collider behave like a dark matter after loosing speed.
    -most likely there is a energy exchange speed limit in betwen two points (not sound speed),
    most likely it is a speed of light. (that about why we do not see dark matter, but see it interction with other(slower for it/faster for us) particles)
    -particles from hadron collider will be stable if placed in faster then light speed.

    whant to tell more, I hope this is enough to contact me.
    the key is a energy exchange speed limit
    (i want my Nobel for showing you dark matter)

    Best regards Dynin A.I.

  11. I just seen this shill being rude to a German professor.He starts by saying he writes for the Guardian.I'm off! I'm not listening to these lies! If everything was ok then youtube would not stop people from commenting like they did in the last video.

  12. Finally someone sees that there are no particles of solid physical matter. All matter is condensed Energy vibrating. Atoms an sub atomic particles are far away from each other even in a rock and are empty space of waves of Energy vibrating. The only reason your hand doesn't go through the rock is because the rock is vibrating at a similar rate of frequency as your body.

  13. Not to sound like a conspiracy theories but I don't trust CERN an don't believe their telling what the their really trying to do. And they should not split protons! Antimatter seems to be from another dimensional plane an could open a door that we might not want open.
