Mar 14, 2012 - wow!!!i am working on a school project on the large hadron collideri love physics and i like this video because it is very informative

Mar 14, 2012 - i know i keep posting every 5 minutesbut this is so cool!!!!!!!!!!my teacher is a amazing teacherbut he needs to make science more fun!!brian cox can do this easily!!!

Mar 14, 2012 - and why the F######g hell did they spend 3 billion euros on something they will only use oncei mean its gay!!!!

Mar 16, 2012 - who was your reply directed to as i want to read the convo for context and perspective :p

Mar 19, 2012 - -The LHC is used for various other experiments and will be used for many more years even after this year (when a conclusion about whether the higgs boson exist or not will be presented)-It's not used "once". The way to gain information about these collisions is to perform billions of them, because some events occur extremely seldom, in order to make claims about the experiment that have a sufficient degree of probability (eg extremely unlikely not to be true)

Mar 20, 2012 - so...all magnetic fields are made of photons?

Mar 23, 2012 - Why did they spend that weekly in Iraq? At least one of these things lets us discover something fundamental to our understanding of the universe.

Mar 25, 2012 - 4:11 out of focus. Its using a very wide aperture, f2 or something...

omgtkseth Says:

Mar 25, 2012 - Dude, do you think science has reached its peak and that it cannot produce anything good for us other than numbers?? Its a first step, like the wright brothers plane. the collider will someday open doors to new technology, not new textbooks, but actual technology. Its like the first computers. billions of dollars for a computer with 128kb of ram. billions of dollars for a computer with 20gb of memory. Billions of dollars of paving the way for this that we have now. the collider will pave the way

Mar 27, 2012 - only use once/facepalmthe millions and millions of particles are being slammed together every second in this thing.so even if they only turned it on once, which they won't, that's still a trillion times to data they need from the experiment. Future generations will also need this to show the particles in the standard model to the new line of scientists who will carry on the science from what we learned doing this experiment.

Mar 30, 2012 - Well said! I don't understand Why people don't find this amazing to learn!1

Apr 10, 2012 - "i mean its gay"Wow, using a sexual orientation in a pejorative manner. You are an unbelievable waste of carbon.

ignitionfive Says:

Apr 27, 2012 - At last, the first physicist that explains particle physics in a way that many people can understand. When even the greatest minds do not understand everything about the workings of the universe, at least it's comforting to know that many of us ordinary people can at least now know as much as they do. And it's because of those few scientists and physicists such as Brian Cox that help to open our minds and to understand the workings of the world just a little bit more. Well done Brian. Rock on:))

May 6, 2012 - I know other people who can't stand his accent. It doesn't bother me.

kittysparkleeyes Says:

May 8, 2012 - I don't think good gcse results are necessarily an indication of ability anyway. Often someone as young as 15-16 is not really going to embrace education, especially young boys who are still quite immature at that stage. I really don't think anyone should be written off over gcse results. Besides, intellect cannot buy ambition and drive..

Icomposeme Says:

May 9, 2012 - Like Cox says in this video, if you really want to be sure of something, you have to observe it. The only way to be SURE that you can't become a physicist is to try.

crazybillt Says:

May 9, 2012 - Quantum physics tells us, however, that by simply looking at something, it changes due to the energy required in the "looking process".

onegathers Says:

May 11, 2012 - well said, sir

mutalix Says:

May 15, 2012 - Mr.Cox did an excellent job on the Higgs example.
