REALLY Big Experiments That Physicists Dream Of

In this video I talk about some proposals for REALLY big experiments that physicists have put forward and what we could do with them. Besides the Future Circular Collier, the Collider in the Sea, a radio telescope or neutrino source on the moon, or a gravitational wave interferometer the size of the solar system.

The mentioned references are:

"Nothing really, but it keeps particle physicists employed" - you said the quiet part out loud!

[averybrooks]

I love how brutally honest you are it's exciting to hear an opinion that can be critical and at the same time encourage better science.

[manucitomx]

“What is the use? Nothing really, but it keeps particle physicists employed”, the candor is on par with the size of the experiments.
Thank you, again. I adore this channel.

[ralphkeenan]

So the earth’s diameter pulses every 21 minutes. Wow 😮 I didn’t know that. Love this channel 😍

Ignoring economic reality is an indication of being a good physicist.

[Bldyiii]

She is the most practically sound scientist I ever heard.

"Unfortunately ignoring economic reality is common for physicists" :D
As an MSc. physics I can confirm this.

“And btw more evidence the Earth is not flat...” 🤣 Needs to be on a tshirt .

[jimsweeney]

Love your weaving humor into the story, delivers the essence with a flare!

Congrats Sabine on 100k, your channel is the best for learning physics directly from real scientis! ❤️🤗

Some form of great experiment on the moon would be interesting just for the progess it would require in term of logistic. Doesnt really matter which one, but the effort to set it up would advance space flight significantly. Just think about the required infrastructure to set it up and maintain. But for which one, probably telescopes on the far side are the most interesting ones. Dont have to be limited to 21cm astronomy, but we could build other kinds as well there.

Good video! I like the last project, the atomic clocks in orbit.

"Nearly at 100, 000 subs, "
Check subscriber count; 102k, well it's good to see there is still a thirst for channels that say something actually worth saying; roll on 1m subscribers.

throwing shade at them flat earthers! Love it!

[ricardodelzealandia]

This is why we should be accelerating funding for asteroid mining and space-based AI, not only because there's gold in them there rocks, but also because all of these grander experiments require autonomous robotics just like space mining does.

[IsaacPiera]

7:00 and we could also summon Satan with those clocks.

[discogodfather]

I built a particle accelerator the size of the galaxy and all I got for it was this lousy T-shirt.

[GamingDemiurge]

OMG this video is amazing. I'll almost regret not being in research anymore just to circulate this vid over my former institute LOL

Grumpy Cat: I always look super excited.
Sabine: hold my cold beer 🍺
