  • Particle accelerators are one of the most powerful ways to study the fundamental laws that govern the universe. However, there are many design considerations that go into selecting and building a particular accelerator. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln explains the pros and cons of building an accelerator that collides pairs of protons to one that collides electrons.

      A basic principle of the Universe is that "information wants to be free". New elements formed from super massive exploding stars get disseminated throughout galaxies which form other stars and planets, living organisms, and eventually humans, who in turn also spread information in books, lectures, and even on CZcams videos like this.
      Another mind boggling notion is that the electrons which carry a value of "0" or "1" as part of this video's data or even this text you are reading right now, has likely originated from a far away exploded star. Even when we die, our bodies just get recycled into other living or non-living matter, but we never really disappear completely, we just change shape and form. Our Universe is truly and amazing place.

    So glad you guys went through the trouble of demonstrating a garbage can collider for us. One of the main things I love about this channel (besides cool science stuff like learning about the foundations of reality), is the 90's educational film feel to everything from the opening sequence and music, to the demonstrations and jokes. I think it just serves to highlight the dorky yet earnest passion you all clearly have for particle physics and science in general. Anyways, another great video as always, and I look forward to more content that makes me chuckle while making me smarter!

    Way cool. I have managed to take a private tour of TRIUMF as a family member had access there. I even went into the areas where they were constructing a brand new lab with hot boxes. Unfortunately they were not running the accelerator so I didn't get to do the trick where you stand paperclips straight up on any desk near enough to the core. It's boring and breathtakingly fascinating all at the same time.

      Sean Nanoman The coolest piece of research tech I've gotten to see was a neutrino detector (actually used to detect neutrinos from Fermilab) built in the bottom of an old mine turned museum/tourist attraction. It was massive (~70ft tall from the picture, and apparently 5.4 kilotons), and roughly half a mile underground. It was really strange to take the elevator down into this old iron mine, which is as dark and dirty as you'd expect a mine to be, and then right next to the elevator is a door into a bright, clean, science facility with towering equipment. It was like something out of a James Bond movie, with the villain's high tech lab being hidden deep underground in an unassuming place like a closed down mine.

  • @davidwilkie9551
    @davidwilkie9551 Před 7 lety

    Excellent video. I admit that the LHC seemed like an expensive version of colliding two pulsed firehoses, a big splash, before the concepts of quantum fields, starting with the universal field of electrons oscillating between past and future, was presented. The idea fits with branes and nested loops of the vector combinations that make numerical codimensions as in 3D and sequences of scale that Dirac supposed were related as reciprocal relationships, (but there's every kind of mathematical connection that can be imagined from modulated information).
    So if there's a particle soup produced by the LHC, then it's probably a lot more efficient than putting the same value of particle "telescopes" on mountain tops and waiting for rare events made by Cosmic rays.
    A "tuned" synchronous detector, (like an eye) sees the universe at a particular frequency that appears to be here-now and distributed to infinity where synchronous interference intersects, the way radar or sonar works by at a "Tachyon" frequency.., so it's confusing enough to imagine the "inside" of an atom that is an "outside" frequency we see because of total internal reflection. Put numbers on it adds another layer of simplified confusion, while making it easier to do practical applications.

    We can also say that pp colliders induce less synchtron loss than e+e- colliders because protons are more massive than electrons. This is also one of the reasons why proton colliders are sometimes prefered over e+e- colliders.

    • @Lucius_Chiaraviglio
      @Lucius_Chiaraviglio Před 5 lety

      When he was talking about "2 reasons" for wanting to build proton colliders, I thought this was going to the the 2nd reason -- it is hard to crank electrons up to energies as high as you can get with protons (either way, substitute antimatter equivalent as appropriate).

  • @SpackoEntertainment

      Time is a rate of change of a system, whether the system is a watch, the sun, the stars, or anything you are basing a derivative reference frame on of time - change. Of course, casualty occurs at different rates - time passes differently depending on the reference frame. Causality (and, so, the rate of causality - time) is relative to a lot of things, including the upper reference frame of speed/energy (c), mass/gravity (g), and quantum phenomena best modeled to us as statistical systems of potential realities collapsing to one real one. Also take note of the two definitions of time relevant whenever speaking about it: there is your subjective experience of time, then there is your subjective belief in others' beliefs in time and in an objective time that grounds your subjective experience of it and exists beyond your experience. Time is relative to your mental states just as it is relative to other physical constants like speed and gravity, because everything is a relative interaction of reference frame alignments.

    • @MikeRosoftJH
      @MikeRosoftJH Před 6 lety

      Gluons can't appear outside the proton or another particle, because they carry a color charge. If you tried to remove a quark or a gluon from a particle, its energy will increase so much that it will create a quark-antiquark pair. And indeed, this is what happens in a high-energy particle collision. (There's a hypothetical - heavy and unstable - particle called a glueball, which consists only of gluons, but the rule that any observed particle must be color-neutral holds even for it.)

    Este normal sa nu admiteti ce nu scrie in manuale. Dar dupa ce se descifreaza constanta de actiune h si cu legile electromagnetismului, rezulta structura bipolara a electronului. Inpartiti lungimea de unda a fotonului gama electronic la 137 si apoi la 2.pi si o sa obtineti raza clasica a electronului. Ceeace dovedeste ca electronul este unda stationara bipolara de mare amplitudine a fotonului gama electronic. Si ca fotonul gama, ca orisicare foton are exact masa particulei din care se naste prin mecanismul reactiei de anihilare.
    It is normal not to admit what is not written in the manuals. But after deciphering the action constant h and the laws of electromagnetism, the bipolar structure of the electron results. Divide the wavelength of the electronic gamma photon by 137 and then by 2.pi and you will get the classical radius of the electron. Which proves that the electron is the high-amplitude bipolar standing wave of the electronic gamma photon. And that the gamma photon, like any photon, has exactly the mass of the particle from which it is born through the mechanism of the annihilation reaction.
