Neutrinos - Sixty Symbols

With Ed Copeland

[danieldaniels]

I wish i could just follow Professor Copeland around every day and learn whatever it is he felt like talking about. He is the most pleasant and calming person ever!

I hate neutrinos. Sick of having them go through me. I'm off to build my 4 LY lead sphere.

A Neutrino walks into a bar.
The bartender says "Can I help you?"
The Neutrino says, "Nope, just passing through."

@1:30, this dude is the competition that Eminem deserves

[ferkinskin]

Love Ed Copeland...He radiates a real love of physics (so do all of his colleagues) but him more so.

I love that moment when professor Ed just starts laughing about how the answers in his questions are in that room, but utterly impossible to see. "About a billion of them. Where are they?" I love it. Thanks Brady!

11 year old videos and they are still somehow very satisfying to watch and learn

[Celll]

I'm not a college graduate in physics or mathematics...I still have a hard time with long division, but i can understand this clearly. Thank you guys for putting it in simpler terms. I hope one day the everyone can watch these videos and get a little bit of insight and break themselves from the reality they put themselves in.
Cheers, Chris!

7:26 oops. trying to hit the hand, not the face.

@yusukeshinyama thank you... it has always been important to us that the videos are very natural and informal....

we just want to show what scientists are really like and the stuff they think about!

[HayTatsuko]

I particularly enjoy the description of neutrinos' lack of interaction, stated similar to "could sail through a light-year's length of lead without ever touching an atom" <3

[arik]

these professors are charismatic and are passionate towards their craft, it is really inspiring

[TheTot]

9:50 - I love his passion! He's one of my favourites that Brady interviews!

[yusukeshinyama]

I can't enough say how much I love these videos. Listening to these scientists talking casually about their work is much more fun and thought-provoking than watching a music-ridden, computer-graphics-rich, overacting "science" show. We should have this on a national TV.

Woohoo! I'm from Sudbury, Ontario and I've been down to the SNO.

[aluisious]

I love the reaction at the end of the video, reaching out to grab ancient neutrinos and saying "where are they?" There's a real joy and wonderment you can see at play in his expression.

[clawpuss]

My faith in the internet is restored by these posts..fascinating stuff. Thanks for posting.

[gplustree]

The excitement in telling these stories is great :)

Would radioactive atoms decay without neutrinos passing?

What happens with neutrinos in neutron-stars?

8:26 "I wasn't there."

Where u from then?
