Scientists: We made the most advanced particle collider to understand subatomic particles.
General Public: I wanna stick my hand in it!
Let them. For Science and Humanity.
And lols 💥
You cant understand sub-atomic particles with BASHING ATOMS....They are tiny-weeny fings that CREATE....They are just trying to get a POWERFUL weapon....and are opening PORTALS 2 EVIL spirits...Besides its all SECRET..THEY WILL NEVER TELL YOU A fing about it....
There a company called Raytheon . That made a weapon called the denial system

I love the fact that if they don't know something they say we don't know.

Carl Coppens Yeah politicians lies a lot !!!
+MrGhostDLM I dont know. But I will ask my magical, rainbow farting, diamond unicorn. It made everything, so it shuld know.
that's just what people say when talking about science because there's very little that people know that they are unsure about so they either know it or nobody knows it.

That guy in Russia actually got hit in the face by a particle accelerator:

Stahlwollvieh LHC is incomparably much stronger, which is likely why he wasn't mentioned in the video.
TheHarboe Probably. Or it would make an even cleaner hole even quicker.^^
Yess! The Chaos Computer Club has named a yearly award for exemplary nuclear safety after him. xD
Proton beam passed through his brain.
@@bin_chicken80 It's a real problem. Usually if you're working somewhere that safety is actually thought about, you have to do something very wrong to put yourself in a situation where you get seriously hurt, so you don't want to tell anyone if you can avoid it.
Your hand would vanish then reappear on Xen whereby it would probably be picked up by a Vortigaunt and placed in his lunchbox for later.

Woah now, man. You're scaring me.
aheh
hahaha thats awesome all proffesors are suprised and prof.Moriarty is like:"I dont now the energy density"
I'm pretty sure the one guy is right about the first question, the energy would be dumped into your body, it would be like something between being electrocuted and being crushed by a steam roller from the inside out... Best case scenario it makes every atom in your arm race apart from one another in an instant and you just get tossed back against the wall, defeated, one armed, and surrounded by angry scientists.

@Dreamstate or maybe they would rather not publicize completely unfounded hypotheses to the public world without any kind of research because they are valued scientists and would rather not spread misinformation to the public.
@Dreamstate U are not clever 😂
I met quite a lot of scientists and most of them lack imagination.
@@LordZordid uh imagination is a very needed skill for science.
Not sure if anyone's mentioned it, but Sean Carroll mentions Anatoli Bugorski in his book "The Particle at the End of the Universe", who took a 76 GeV proton beam to the face (only about 2% of the energy of an average single beam in the LHC) at Russia's U-70 Synchotron. Pretty interesting how he ended up. He said he felt no pain, but then about that was only 2% of the energy of the LHC.
Anatoli Bugorski even put his head into the proton beam (76 GeV) of the U-70 syncrotron, accidently. He survived, yes, yes. He didn't look good afterwards, his head swoll beyond recognition. He didn't feel any pain when he was hit, but saw a light brighter than 1000 suns he said afterwards. Eventually he recovered and finished his thesis. He had los hearing and one eye's sight but his intellectual capacity didn't suffer, though he lost mental endurance.
He also suffered from seizures
And because of it, a phenomenon related to the energy peak of the phenomenon during the collision was discovered.
The late peak dramatically reduced the amount of energy he received early on.
NONE of them mentioned the Bugorski incident? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoli_Bugorski
July 1978, Bugorski was checking a malfunctioning piece of equipment when the safety mechanisms failed. Bugorski was leaning over the equipment when he stuck his head in the path of the 76 GeV proton beam. Reportedly, he saw a flash "brighter than a thousand suns" but did not feel any pain.
Since the LHC is firing far more particles at a much higher energy, I would expect your hand to be disintegrated, very quickly.
There are pictures of the injury on the Internet if you are willing to search for them. The hole that the beam made in anatoli's head can easily be seen. There are also images taken in hospital where the docs have poked a metal probe clear through his head following the path of the beam damage.
Kizron Kizronson link?
the LHC is way more powerful and energized than the old U-70 (synchrotron)
Bloodmoon he lost some movement in his face and became blind in one eye, but lived with no other problems
Kizron Kizronson it didn't make a hole per se, it just shot 78 billion volts (equivalent), blinding his left eye, deafening his left ear, and mulching that side of his brain.
I love how science brings people together from all over the world. It's beautiful :')

+hermest99 indeed in Japan I believe there is a new craze it's called moss watching as in moss that grows on trees. Lol
I think I remember hearing about a russian guy years ago, who somehow had a beam hit him in the face. It basically put a hole through him from his nose to the back/top of his head. Apparently he was relelavely okay too lol.
Yeah found it. Anatoli Bugorski was his name =)
mickenoss Wow, thanks for sharing ;]
:O ll
mickenoss yea, it had a lot of nasty effects. I'm surprised no one mentioned it in the video.
mickenoss Made a quick calculation. Assuming every proton was carrying the maximum amount of energy it could in that synchrotron, the beam Bugorski was struck with was carrying about 190.6 KJ of energy. Assuming maximum energy per proton, the LHC beam would be carrying 362 MJ. 1899 times more than Bugorski was hit with... This is probably why they didn't mention him.
Finally, a video that answers the questions I care about! Screw micro black holes and setting the earth on fire. I wanna know what it will do to my hand!
As a Sherlock Holmes fan I was equally thrilled and worried to see a Prof Moriarty working there.
I always appreciate when an expert can say "I don't know". Nothing is worse than making up an answer.
Somebody should put a ham sandwich or a pollywog in the thing and take bets on what happens.

This answered a ton of questions about particle accelerators for me. None of which are “what would happen if you put your hand in front of the beam.”
This actually happened, someone working on the beam, was stupid enough to put his face in the way and it shot a hole through his nose and out the back of his head.
He didn't feel anything but blacked out, when he recovered he said he saw the light of about 1000 suns and felt nothing.
He survived with minor brain damage and managed to recover to a livable state.
Fake news

iamawatermelon it’s not fake news it’s real, i remember seeing it a time ago. the beam went right through his head, i think he lost vision in one eye though. it wasn’t at the lhc, though.

Even if the particles only punched a sub-micron width hole in the center of your hand, if only 1/1000 of the collision energy were to be dissipated in perpendicular particle scatter, the resulting damage would be the vaporization of your hand in
tubeist- dan you spell out the word "second" but you use the less than symbol. I am now distracted.
I don't even remember writing this at all, and now there's the infamous youTube truncation. Perhaps a 'less than' symbol causes a glitch. So no idea what my typo was. Anyway, I figure the whole hand would vaporize in a thousandth of a second.
300 megajoules of energy in the beam. 4.184 kJ in one gram of TNT. That is the equivalent of about 71 kg of TNT deposited into an extremely small area your hand.
Can we please get an answer to the hand question? Solve it by putting a large watermelon in the beam's way and see what happens to the watermelon with a highly sensitive slow motion camera
***** Everything is wrong with what you just said. 1) It's not "immeasurably" expensive, it was $13.25 billion -- very measurable. 2) It's not for personal gratification, it's for science. These scientists admitted they don't know what would happen. It's something we're capable of doing, so why not? 3) LHC was created to get answers to theoretical questions, but here we have a question which we can easily find out the outcome to, and maybe end up with surprising results, but we don't know the answer because we haven't tried. 4) stop with the negative mindset, it is poisonous to mankind
A few weeks ago we calculated how much energy there are in the two opposing beams, turns out they carry a kinetic energy similar to a 400t train going at 150 km/h. Apparently a very large problem was to make sure that in case any of the magnets would fail to function properly the beam could be directed to somewhere where it can be safely scattered, so it won't blast a hole into the walls
You're all missing a bigger point, the watermelon would go in a vacuum, that alone would make it explode.
The melon would not explode though it would be fried and have no skin and there are holes but they are sealed with tight airlocks
***** sooo ifwe can somehow make a more compact version, we would be able to construct a new lhc? Large hadron cannon :D
I visited CERN with this question in mind. I asked the German professor showing us around there what would happen.
His prompt reply:
"You would find a small hole in the palm of your hand from the particle beam."
Then a few hours later the radiation sickness would hit. The high energy would cause all manner of nuclear radiation to be emitted as your flesh is abated by it.
These scientists are amazing people. These are the type of people who of many years figured out the complex answers about how to develop the types of materials we use for all the high technology we use today. These people are geniuses.

As an artist my favourite symbol is Phi (𝞅) as is it is the basis for many compositions in art, music, poetry, architecture, sculpture and artistic anatomy.
I stood in front of the LHC beam once and they yelled "Get out you fool" but it just went in one ear and straight out of the other

Aha!!
I miss these vids from sixty symbols with all the different points of view. I think this is such a great quality! It won't work with every subject maybe but to hear how each scientist thinks with their specific background and knowledge and the differences is so interesting to me. I'd love to see more of that with many more questions!
Great question on the constants and forces.. will it be same again ? Wow. Never thought this way.
"I don't think you'd feel very much"
That could be interpreted two different ways! Wise answer
"I don't think you'll survive very much"
The beam would go through one side of you and out of the other side, as if you were speared by an invisible spear. This happened to Anatoli Bugorski.
That wasn't his hand dude, his freaking HEAD! He saw synchotron light and survived, the only human to see it. And it screwed him up.
I like how they readily said "I don't know" . That's humility. Much respect.
Actually, my favorite symbols, aesthetically, are probably psi and phi. Very beautiful letters. In terms of most interesting meaning... Maybe gamma, the Lorentz factor? Relativity is fascinating. Just the fact that there's a universal speed limit where classical physics breaks down. Pretty big implications in electrodynamics as well, being built into Maxwell's equations.
Well, this actually happened to a guy in Russia, except it was his head and not his hand. He lived, with minimal issue. Died in his 70s if I recall correctly. There was some damage, but nothing life threatening.
Other particle accelerators are nowhere near as strong as the LHC. You'd be annihilated immediately I'm guessing.

It's surprising they need to guess. There were accidents in big accelerators where beams actually impacted on and damaged accelerator structure. Basically, the beam impacting matter heats the area it impacts on and cuts through anything, including steel. The cut is initially very narrow. With flesh, it would likely do the same - burn a narrow hole, or slice, through it, and continue damaging everything in its path for several meters.
LHC also has the beam stop, the part where beams are intentionally dumped. It is a carbon cylinder about 1 meter wide and 7 meters long. When the entire beam hits it, it creates particle showers inside carbon, heating it to about 700 C. (Because of copious spallation, this carbon becomes radioactive, but surprisingly not by that much. You can stand beside it for many minutes and not die).

MGlBlaze I was going to bring this up myself. How none of these experts know of that story boggles the mind.
Wow, not only did he survive, but he got a PhD after the incident. I was hoping he turned into something like Dr. Manhattan.
MGlBlaze That beam was much much weaker than the LHC. If he almost dies from that one you would surely die from something as massive as the LHC. Proton beams are really just focused radiation.
Reminds me of the bite of 87' except ITS THE DRILL HAHAHA
MGlBlaze It's kind of sad, when the only thing you're known for is that you had a freak accident.
"That's like the energy of an aircraft carrier moving at 11 knots." How tf does he know that?
That is exactly what I was thinking watching the video. Does he just knows a bunch of random facts? Could be, but there is a decent chance he actually worked on some project involving an aircraft carrier, that in itself would make for an interesting video if true.
He is probably used to explaining to students examples of kinetic energy to help them understand and for every order of magnitude already knows an example
Just like when he said "one fifth of a hair".

Apparently there was a Russian physicist named Anatoli Bugorski who was working with an early particle accelerator called the U-70 synchrotron in 1978, when a safety mechanism on the device failed and fired a 76GeV beam of protons directly through his head! Although Bugorski was not killed by the beam, he did suffer some neurological symptoms such as partial paralysis of his face and occasional seizures. This injury did not handicap him intellectually, and he even finished his PhD.

If the sky was purple, would it weigh more?
If +ApollonianKing stopped smoking weed, would there be 2 kg more for all of us?
Probably
Hi. I came from the future. The year is 2020 and there is a pandemic out there. Long story short, I'm bored on my 20th day of isolation, watching old videos on youtube. So here it goes: Yes it would. The sky appears to be blue during daytime because the particles in earth's atmosphere scatters shorter wavelengths (blue) much more than longer wavelengths. However, when the sun is lower in the sky, light from the sun travels a much longer distance through the atmosphere and the blues get much closer to be completely scattered, hence the more purple/red sunsets. So, if the sky was purple during daytime, we could assume light was either travelling a longer distance or encountering higher number of particles, leading us to conclude the atmosphere would be bigger or denser, thus being heavier on either case.
@@HaQuase30Anos hey

Mythbusters episode waiting to happen. Just add some c4 and bam ultimate myth.
There was actually a soviet scientist that accidentally stuck his head into an active particle accelerator that was much, much smaller than the LHC. The beam went right through his head. He lived without any brain damage surprisingly, and his colleagues thought he would surely die of radiation poisoning from ionization, but that also didn't happen.
We already have the Will it Blend, Crush etc.. channels. How about will it COLLIDE channel? Using the LHC to collide particles on objects we choose via the comment section on youtube. It will be a huge success!
So what about that Russian person that stuck his head in a particle accelerator.
+Makuzi The Inuk Yes, Anatoli Burgowski. I was wondering why they never brought him up. His face swelled up beyond recognition, lost hearing in his left ear, lost feeling in his face....Also, that much radiation was supposed to have killed him.
also the left side of his face never aged after that
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoli_Bugorski
He didnt stick his face in a particle accelarator intentionally, the safety mechanism failed
Turned into the Hulk
am i the only person that noticed the thumbnail has megadeth's supercollider album art in it
no I did too :D
haha i thought that was awesome and it fits for the subject of the vid lol
I noticed it too
Well, something similar happened accidentaly in SSSR in 1978. Google Anatoli Bugorski accident. It was a scientist checking broken part of equipment while some safety circuit failed and 76GeV proton beam passed through his head. He survived, but with serious consequences. He got deaf on one ear, half of his face remained paralyzed and he suffers epilepsy because of scarification of the brain tissue.
The probability of interaction (ionization) with the electrons of human tissue is the lower the faster the protons move. So probably very little ionization occurs. I think most of the beam just passes trough, but rare collisions with the nucleus of the hand tissue atoms probably creates some (very interesting) high energy particles that radiate away. Because the probability of an individual proton to hit a nucles is relatively small, I bet that the tissue just starts to break down evenly within the volume of the beam.
well some Russian guy stuck his head in one
there was brain damage and lost in hearing in his left ear
but strangely
the left side of his face never aged after that

youre scientists, understand hypothetical questions.
McManybucks ! But when the hypothesis is silly why not say “it won’t”?
You would turn into the incredible hulk of course!
I think it is actually pretty straightforward. There is a probably a vacuum in the accelerator, and since the beam is going around so fast if you got in there without effecting the beam vacuum, the instant the edge of your hand met the beam there would be a collision. So depending on the count of particles in the beam you'd lose so much atoms in your hand, and there could be some secondary effects like sporadic high temperatures due to energy transfer in outgoing matter/radiation.
+Matthew Suffidy OK so I didn't watch it past like the first 10 seconds. It sounds like there is enough energy mass there to possibly at least cut a whole in your hand if not cook it somewhat and irradiate it.
You wouldn't be able to, it's inside a vacuum chamber, i.e. the beam pipe. I did learn something surprising once; if you pass a 200 keV beam of protons through a thin carbon foil (about 40 atoms thick), it won't even generate a decent hydrogen spectrum. The LHC is running at 3*10^9 times more energy than the 200 keV beam I just described; and the odds of interaction goes down as the energy goes up; I would bet not much would happen from the beam itself. Now someone mentioned the synchrotron radiation being produced; that might be enough to fry your hand.
