CERN, the World's LARGEST Science Experiment

This summer, I traveled to Geneva, Switzerland so I could participate in some research at the world's largest particle physics research center - CERN (European Council for Nuclear Research). What is it like to work at CERN?

So, what really happens at CERN? In this video, I explain the science at CERN: what particles are and what the Standard Model is. I explain why we need the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) to accelerate particles to 99.9999991% the speed of light. And above all, I explain why CERN might be one of the most incredible places on Earth.

I actually spent my summer doing a research project at CERN, so I briefly discuss what I've been up to and what I'm currently working on (hint: data compression)!

Aside from that, Switzerland was absolutely amazing, so I've included a 2 minute travel montage as well.. featuring a lot of fondue and hiking :)

why hasnt this popped off on the algorithm, nice editing and stuff...

[royslapped]

Thanks. This gives me the motivation to complete my degree and keep working on bettering my GPA.

I was an intern there doing ML research on the CMS trigger system at the same time as you, but sadly didn't get to go there in person.

[nayyarabbas]

Very inspirational waiting for new videos

oh boy, I love physicssss, and CERN is so exciting xD
edit: I've just finished the video and I found pretty poetic how u perceived the surroundings... anyways, a beautiful place with beautiful people, really nice vid

Enjoyable and inspiring video!!! greetings from Mexico!!!

[fleef]

Nice video. Anything about CERN is so interesting. Of course, I watched 'til the end 🌺

[darrencheshier]

fascinating video. I do programming as well but I always feel like I learn from you. Thanks for all you do.

[oscardossantos]

What an awesome video and experience! Keep the good stuff coming :p

[YM-lmxr]

nice video!! and more computing stuff pls~

[marknguyen]

I tried to learn Python and somehow ended up here. You're amazing.

[sultanhusnoo]

a bit unexpected but so so amazing❤️❤️ thanks for sharing such inspiring content.

ps: omg you made sad for Rue.

[alimz]

The partical accelerator from flash is so famous they made it into a real thing!!!

[markchristianliwag]

your vids are cool :)) certainly helped a lot with python projects, and now subscribed...Keep making vids :))
