Can Scientists Work Outside The Standard Model of Physics?

Episode 3 of 4

There are specific things scientists are looking for when conducting the compact muon solenoid (CMS) experiment at the large hadron collider (LHC), but what about things we don't know exist yet?

The Large Hadron Collider:

“The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. It first started up on 10 September 2008, and remains the latest addition to CERN’s accelerator complex."

The Supercollider That Never Was:

“If all had gone according to plan, the gargantuan U.S. high-energy physics project would have already found the Higgs particle, having solidly won the competition with its European competitor."

How the Higgs Boson Gives Things Mass:

“The infamous Higgs particle has a weighty task: It grants all the other elementary particles their mass. Without it, they — we — would zip around frantically at the speed of light, too foot-loose to form atoms. But how does the Higgs do it?"

How Particle Accelerators Work:

“On a basic level, particle accelerators produce a beam of charged particles that can be used for a variety of research purposes."

What’s A Hadron?:

“The Large Hadron Collider is a wonderful and exciting machine. But first things first — what’s a hadron??!! A hadron is any particle that is made from quarks, anti-quarks and gluons."

Linear Accelerator 2:

“Linear accelerator 2 (Linac 2) is the starting point for the protons used in experiments at CERN. Linear accelerators use radiofrequency cavities to charge cylindrical conductors."

Why Hydrogen Have Only One Atomic Number?:

“That is an interesting question. The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons that atom has. Almost every atom is made of three different things: protons, neutrons, and electrons."

I just arrived from Geneva and i visited CERN too. It was amazing to be in a place where the best and most complex human knowledge merges to find out how the universe works. It is just fascinating, and it is absolutely inspiring.

[PurpleReign]

That head nod though! lol. I'm suggesting the next subject based on just that. "Body Language/Non-Verbal Communication" maybe include the history and advancement of it, types and practices, inter species communication, the science and neurology behind it, and uses in everyday life. (Ex. Work place, Sports, Military, Hunting, Etc.) I'd find that very interesting.

Keep up the great work! Love the content and knowledge you guys provide us!

[samhaycroft]

This is wonderful information. I've always been in awe of the place and to have it explained so clearly via a casual interview makes it so much easier to absorb. Stay excellent!

I've been to CERN about 2 years ago, when it wasn't running. So I actually got to see ALICE and CMS and some other stuff :D

[Master_Therion]

Is Tulika Bose a descendant of Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose (1858-1937). He was a very famous physicist who worked with Einstein.

I love how Trace was just nodding continuously when she was talking early in the video.

[nathannguyen]

I'm having a hard time telling if that's a green screen or not

[PartVIII]

I ♥ this series. very interesting conversation

[PH-fggk]

Trace you're great 👌🏽 come to Chicago!

[KidEatingClown]

The title is really misleading. You never addressed the question!

[benjaminnelson]

There was some sort of a noise in the video, like something heavy falling or the echo of a small explosion. I'm curious what that was.

[enjimusic]

Hey Trace is there some way we could talk? via email or something... i have all these ideas just floating around my skull

[MeatballMedic]

I want to know how they build these detectors? How do you build a sensor that can detect these extremely small particles?

[undereternalskies]

The LHC reminds me so much of that machine at the beginning of that game Half-Life I use to play as a kid. Gordon Freeman your dead! Lol. But seriously this machine blows my mind and they are going to make more major discoveries in the future I know it.

[cesarzayas]

Ey what are those lights flashing behind Steve

[PantherFox]

I feel like there's a growing separation between the content on dnews and dnews+.

Dnews used to show actual videos about scientific events and recent studies, now it's turning into 'how does a remote control work' 'why do you have to scratch your butt when you wake up in the morning'. Not only do I not care, but I already know most of this stuff. Is it intentionally being directed at people who don't know even the most basic of scientific ideas (and probably don't care).

At least dnews+ is staying interesting.

[richardbennett]

The largest machine ever built is the power grid on earth. It's far bigger than the Large Hadron Collider.

[jersn]

The girl's voice sounded like the scientist Dr. Vahlen in the game XCOM!

[Orodreth]

What if matter-antimatter reaction creates dark energy? :P

[durgadasdatta]

Read balloon inside balloon theory. Do not assume all antimatter annihilated .
