Dr. James Beacham – What's outside the universe? | The Conference 2019

Dr. James Beacham is a particle physicist searching for answers to the biggest open questions of physics using the largest experiment ever, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. He hunts for dark matter, gravitons, quantum black holes and dark photons as a member of the ATLAS collaboration, one of the teams that discovered the Higgs boson in 2012. He ended The Conference 2019 with a science class out of this world and a reminder of that to physics – we're all the same.

His hair style convince me that he knows what he's talking about.

The 2 people men who won the Nobel prize are not just 2 old white men. Very rude, considering the amount of work and sacrifice those two must’ve made to earn that prize.

Content of character my friend, content of character.

universe is everything, then what is outside of it? This is a question that has been asked for centuries, and even today, we don't have a definitive answer. But as this video shows, the universe is not just a static, unchanging entity. It's expanding and evolving, and we're just starting to scratch the surface of understanding its mysteries. Melody, the narrator's childhood friend, was unafraid to ask the big questions, and it's that kind of curiosity and willingness to explore that has driven us to make so many incredible discoveries about the universe. Who knows what we'll uncover next

in college, I took a black holes, relativity and cosmology course.. and asked my professor this very question.. what was outside the edge.. He laughed it off and said I was stupid for asking it and no idea what I was talking about. If this guy had been my professor.. I would have gotten an A in that course.. he explained it in 30 seconds.. even if it is just a theory because we really don't know.. it satisfies that question.

I watched this twice. I love it James is the bomb. YouTube needs to invent a double-thumbs up icon thingamajig

James sir, you are an incredible lecturer, and educator. You make your lecturing come alive! Your articulating and the knack of making extremely complicated science classes, understandable to thick empty headed people like me, is a gift! You are special, my friend!! Thanks for educating me in the workings of the Universe! 😊

One of the most compelling words ever spoken that i have ever encountered. In the scheme of our universe our mother Earth is so insignificant, too small to be even noticed and we think we are big and mighty. we are not. What does it take for us humans to realise this Fact.

When a physicst is also a philosophical poet, you got the magnificent James Beacham.

[dcmanohar]

Scientist and motivator! And I didn't think one can combine all these aspects in same lecture. My understanding of the universe(s) became better with your lectures without having to know all the complex math. Thank you!

More humbling than any religion can ever provide ...

[C.D.J.Burton]

I reckon somewhere in the universe, there was also a particle physicist delivering a talk on social justice.

Everybody should just watch the videos about the double split experiment to vaguely understand what quantum physics is trying to deal with.
And then watch a video on Entanglement and your head will just explode.

[dantetomic]

No matter how difficult it is for us to understand, the undeniable fact is that the Universe is Infinite.

[jameslee]

His hair cut does indeed demonstrate that he knows what he’s talking about. At the same time I don’t know what he’s talking about.

[rbiesheuvel]

This man is amazing, love his lectures! Keep em coming.

[butterchuggins]

I don't know what's outside but there is a great diner at the edge

[Wolferal]

I don't think the comment about "Two white males" was necessary. That was just weird.

[real_DrDummkopf]

Honestly if anybody is nerdy on this kind of information like me you've seen this guy before I don't really know him but I love the way he tells his stories it's so gripping.
Man and I thought Brian Greene was intriguing and regular- knowledge people friendly. I will dig deeper in this man's work

[joeyhunter]

It’s more fun to think about the meaning behind it all, why do we exist, and try to focus on your breathing as you try to fall asleep, all without making yourself insane or wondering what happens to you after death and what this all means.

I can listen 👂 🎧 to this dude talk about the universe all day long
