The Most Difficult Problem in Physics | The Big Bang Machine | BBC Earth Science

Mass is what makes stuff, well, stuff. But why is it so hard to explain? Professor Brian Cox takes us back in time to the early universe, where particles took on mass, to try and explain the concept with the Higgs Particle.

This show is from 2008. The Higgs boson was discovered in 2012.

Perhaps you should have added at the end that the Higgs boson was discovered in 2012 by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

Outdated by more than a decade, yet the video was posted just a few hours ago. BBC Earth Science, you can certainly do much better than this.

[GreylanderTV]

Why are you posting this clip as if from a new or recent show with no mention that it is out of date? The Higgs particle was detected in 2012.

My mate Paul says, has Brian Cox seen this? The boson was found in 2012. Now where is the Graviton? The field is Energy. Energy is Mass. Mass is Inertia. Inertia is Gravity. The Earth and Moon are in orbital motion around a Barycentre. The tidal force is caused by the gravimetric tensor (T).
QED - Quod Erat Demonstrandum, problem solved. _The Earth is not being pulled directly towards the Moon filling up bulges and leaving water behind!_ Quantum Electrodynamics. Thank you Paul.

Why would you repeat this video when it’s no longer correct? The Higg’s Boson was discovered in 2012. Science is difficult enough to communicate, especially to those who religiously deny it, without deliberately stoking confusion. What’s wrong with you?

[photographmaker]

Odd that this was posted now, as if unresolved and open ended like, when Higgs boson was discovered 12, 13 years ago at this point.

Lederman lived to be 96, dying in 2018. This video must be several years old.

My mate Paul said, it's a matter of belief, we don't know how aeroplanes fly, we just have to believe that bosons keep them in the air. If we stop believing, then we'll all end up in a farmers field. Thanks Paul, I might just grab a jacket potato instead, and read my book.

When/if its found, how can this new found "knowledge " be monetized?

[amymonroe]

When I hear man is one step closer to understanding the universe, I wonder how many more steps left for this quest.

[ronvandereerden]

Is this proof of time travel? We're seeing 2008 as it was right now.

[wavydaveyparker]

Mirrors are windows into other universes aren't they Brian? My mate Paul says, they run on quantum power, and that's why we can see into an alternative dimension, in which everything is the same as our realm but backwards. Ask Neil Turok, he's a real physicists, and agrees with my mate Paul.

[rahilario]

Much respect to Prof Cox, but after seeing her recent special (Cunk on Life) I think now that Ms Cunk absolutely needs to be chiming in on everything he says. Their dynamic was my favourite

[johnmalik]

The Higgs Boson is the observer. The observer measures mass in reflected, moving photons. The observer is the observed.

[collinsanyanvoh]

It's very important to keep in mind the known FACTS about the universe, because they are pieces of a puzzle which will eventually combine with the missing pieces to form the grand picture of physical knowledge. They also give us hints as to which QUESTIONS are worth pondering over, so that when the light bulb moment comes, the joy will be equally satisfying because it wasn't borne out of confusion

[TheSeta]

And by detecting it in 2012 they proved the theory correct and therefore the standard model is the best model we have to describe reality.

[billyrubine]

Let's not forget to mention François Englert, who shared the 2013 Nobel Prize with Peter Higgs for the theoretical "discovery" of this mechanism. But this video is quite a time-travel...

C=2πr ✖️
C=πd ✅
I managed to reduce a fundamental equation by 1 variable. This solves the wave function and fourier transformation equations, placing the periodic table into the electromagnetic spectrum showing that the periodic table is only 1/7 of the electronic spectrum and the electromagnetic spectrum is 7/7 of the periodic table of elements. The cross sectional area of the wave can be divided into new states of matter, while retaining their lineage with the electro-magnetic field which consists of an electric and magnetic field perpendicular to one another in every single wave including spectral lines "body temperatures" in Mass.

Finally I’m ahead of Brian; good news everyone the Higgs field was confirmed a couple of years ago and Dr. Higgs an others were awarded with the Nobel prize
