A lecture on the development of science of the standard model of high energy particle physics given to some of the CERN faculty for a demonstration of how this kind of complex science should be lectured to those with any level of science/physics background from laypeople to experts who want to keep up with current discoveries outside their field.
Professor Brian Cox of Manchester University and contributor to the LHC's ATLAS and LHCb experiments, is one of the best public educators of physics of our time. He has a huge charisma and character to keep an audience's attention to fundamental topics in physics, keeping the sense of wonder but always keeping the real core of the subject intact - which is genuinely hard to do as in the process of teaching a subject like physics either the wonder gets sucked out and replaced with dry rhetoric or else the content gets sucked out and replaced with whimsical nonsense - Professor Cox helps create the balance in the same vein as other great popularizers of physics such as Carl Sagan and Richard Feynman.
His talks are always very good and try to include as many people as possible into scientific discovery and the wonders of nature which shape our individual understanding and our civilization into new frontiers.
Any of his tv series, including "Wonders of the Solar System", and his books including my favorite "The Quantum Universe: Everything That Can Happen Does Happen", co-authored by Jeff Forshaw are also must haves for any scientist young or old.

I do not understand anything this man is talking about, but I sat and watched 55 minutes listening to this man.
I'm a labourer, I move stuff too a skip. I also love science! Evan if the slides were filmed I still wouldn't know what's going on, but I still love it and find it fascinating :)
Doodle daddle, I’ve spent twenty odd years in nuclear power generation dealing with nuclear material waste streams , the data useful in many shipping operations. The crews that worked as rad waste shippers were union laborers. These gentlemen would study particle theory, decay chains specific to the waste handled . High school with copious amounts of CBT lit their intellectual fire, greatest guys to be around!
Go to college and start getting educated
@@chisty4436 nah i already did for IT and mechanics and both courses were incredibly boring dull and dreary im not going through that again. besides i love working in the trade its fun. :D
Oh right . Just the way you described it with the skip sounded like you didn’t like it. Hey there’s nothing better than being content and enjoying your job whatever it is . Keep filling those skips then
@@chisty4436 thanks, im in catering now so i get free food, im filling bellies atm :D I still enjoy Science stuff though :D
What is amazing about Brian Cox is this. He is no Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking or Issac Newton which he would accept. But he is a man who inspires people to become one of the aforementioned scientists. Without people like Brian who encourage new scientific blood we will never move forward. 👍👌
There might be people in that room that are smarter and know more about particle physics but there is not anyone who can present particle physics/cosmology in a concise manner that a large audience can follow along and make it incredibly interesting. Bravo Brian.
cant know that, there are a lot of extremely good and humble physics in the world.

Do objects fall at the SAME RATE for the same reason that planets orbit the Sun at distances that are irrespective of any given planet's "mass"?
Yes. Here's the CLEAR mathematical proof.
THE CLEAR AND BALANCED UNDERSTANDING OF PHYSICS/PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE AND TIME:
Consider THE EYE. CLEARLY, WHAT IS E=MC2 is KEY to understanding WHAT IS GRAVITY (ON/IN BALANCE). Indeed, c squared CLEARLY (AND NECESSARILY) represents a dimension of SPACE ON BALANCE !!! Consider what is the fourth dimension. CLEARLY, gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked AND BALANCED opposites (ON BALANCE); as the stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. Consider TIME AND time dilation ON BALANCE. TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE). A given PLANET (including WHAT IS THE EARTH) sweeps out equal area in equal TIME. The ultimate mathematical unification AND UNDERSTANDING of physics/physical experience (AND TIME) combines, BALANCES, AND includes opposites. The rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches the revolution !!! Consider WHAT IS THE EYE ON BALANCE !!! Consider WHAT IS E=MC2 ON BALANCE !!! It is KEY to understanding what is gravity (ON/IN BALANCE), AS the INTEGRATED EXTENSIVENESS of thought (AND description) is improved in what is the truly superior mind. Consider, ON BALANCE, WHAT IS the fully illuminated (AND setting/WHITE) MOON !!! (It IS the SAME SIZE as what is THE EYE !!!!) INDEED, consider why and how it is (ON BALANCE) that there is something instead of nothing. Magnificent !!! It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense ON BALANCE. (BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand.) Think. Great. Consider what is the man (AND THE EYE ON BALANCE) who IS standing on what is THE EARTH/ground. WHAT IS GRAVITY is, ON BALANCE, an INTERACTION that cannot be shielded or blocked !!! Great. Notice what is the orange (AND setting) Sun ON BALANCE. Notice WHAT IS the TRANSLUCENT AND BLUE sky ON BALANCE !!! Again, ON BALANCE, consider what is THE EYE !!!! CLEARLY, WHAT IS E=MC2 is KEY to understanding WHAT IS GRAVITY (ON/IN BALANCE). MAGNIFICENT. TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE) !!!!

My first thought was “I can’t imagine how hard it is, to give a speech on Physics, in a room FULL of Physicists who have Doctorate’s and Master’s”….
Brian Cox is such a Gem in the world of Physics. I can only imagine how tough it is to give a speech on Physics to a group of other Physicists with doctorates and Masters
Watched the whole thing with no idea what was going on. Still enjoyed it.
I do not envy Dr Cox in this lecture. An audience of peers and an unseen host of curious untrained people. I've given talks to similar mixture of experts and novices. It's REALLY hard to do without talking to the bottoms of shoes of the experts, or over the heads of the novices! It's almost a lose-lose situation.
One thing he does really well is to bring down complex physics to us unwashed masses in a way that we can begin to understand.
As a undergrad student of physics who took particle physics, this makes me happy that others are able to see such a beautiful topic.
was it worth it?
did you get a good job.....
or are they screwing you around?
peace
In order to get a actual physics job you need to attend grad school. Master's and above grants you access into such places. As for worth, I believe so. This class was an elective.
Crimson Fox You're doing more than most of us....
His explanation of what a "field is" is sublime. In 40 years of Physics hobby-level interest, I finally get what a field is; marrying that with my understanding of a complex number, means I actually understood his Quantum example. Thank you Coxy.
Thats because you're stupid.
That audience is hard work, an encouraging murmur or chuckle now and again might have made them look human.
I like Brian - he's a great ambassador for science.
@bill Bloggs depends on the topic, im sure he could also discuss things you dont understand aswell. i doubt youre as intelligent as brian
@@InterYamahWell, he capitalises his letters. I'd say Brian conquered this lesson pretty early on.
@@norbitcleaverhook5040 Comprehension isn't your strong suit I guess, I was replying to someone who has since deleted their comment.
You're basically agreeing with me but decide to start with an insult?
Pretty weird....
@@InterYamah Its just banter kid. Just gets wierd when people in glass houses throw stones.
@@norbitcleaverhook5040 Isn't it just 🤔
This would take "big balls". Highly captivating delivery in the face of his peers. Great job!
Major shame that we can not see what he is talking about. But always great to see Brian Cox speak.
This young man gives me hope for the future.
that young man is in his late 40s lol primus!
I stand by my comment.
I'm 60 !
Get some sense of perspective.

Primus 777 he’s 40 something just looks young
I love that there's people like Brian Cox in the world who can disseminate such incredible information in a digestible and entertaining manner for all, while also providing the most elite sleep aid of all time w his velvet delivery xD
My favorite topic. Have read & listened to many explanations, from grade school level to lectures that go almost completely over my head. Brain Cox explains physics in a way I have little trouble understanding yet always leaves me with something that sparks a search for more information. An excellent explainer! Second only to Carl Sagan, IMO.
He was started on his path by seeing Sagan's Cosmos TV program. (Hope I'm not misquoting him.)
I had never heard of professor Brian cox until I saw a TV show with him doing a lecture on Australian "Foxtel"
I sat there on my couch, just absorbed into what he was saying, what spun me out the most, was it all made sense and I understood what he was saying.. It was absolutely mind blowing.. It was a lecture on "doctor who" time traveling..
I'm now searching for more of these shows from Pr B.C and everything I have seen just trips me out..
Love it...
I like him as well, the only problem I have with him is that he tells everything like they are cold hard facts. And that securely isn't the case. A lot is based on far fetched theories. Yes its wonderful to discuss them but just dont present them as the absolute truth...
You must be listening differently than I do, he almost never talks in absolutes. If it is proven however, he says so.
I don't know what he's talking about but I like listening.
Only ten people on the planet do and they all disagree with each other.
Other than public servicing; I think the majority of this talk is a passionate plea for appreciation of where we've come, where we are. The scope of that and what we're missing. To give perspective on just how much has been done, and it's constrained within under 5% (by current method).
Honestly, I think the most profound part of this is the chat, after the talk. I strongly believe nothing really great is ever achieved with a singular mind or attitude. The way music(using this example) can be used to wake other parts of your mind (we could call it the scientific mind working with the artistic mind, subconsciously) to give you that secondary perspective on a lingering problem.
Or maybe I just need to sleep :)
Dear Muon Ray =),
I would like to say, thank you, for taking the time and effort to both upload and share this video with the youtube family =).
I hope you have a nice day! =)

Love watching stuff with Brian Cox genius
Given my limited knowledge of physics this is over my head compared to Brian's other lectures.
Thanks Brian for sharing the beautiful maths behind the standard model. I wish more physicists were as lucid and brave.
I am a plumber. Used to carry a gun as a plumber, (a clogged toilet feared me!) I have since graduated into telling other construction workers what to do. None of that has any meaning. You make science cool. And I thank you for that.
In the symmetry of Brian Cox I think he would prefer that you could see the equations as he points at them when he is explaining the symmetry of said equations.....since he is more interested (as am I) in the mathematics and the equations than he is in looking at himself as he points at these equations and explains this symmetry.
It could be the *gravity* of the Standard Model........or is it the HOG particles of Dark Matter (Hand Of God)
I think there is a valid explanation, if looked at from a philosophical perspective, that music and science, particularly physics, do have an innate tangible connection.
Given physics, as a field, describes and discovers the innate symmetries and harmonies within natural laws, then, in my eyes, the activity and pursuit of musical brilliance is fundamentally harmonious with scientific discovery.
Music, like everything else, can be described and created through the language of mathematics. Mathematics is the language of the universe and I think music in particular is distinctly similar to the musings and playfulness of experimental mathematics. The choice of applying negative mass in his equation in order to transform a known theory and discover a very tangible prediction of photonic mass, is exactly the same kind of loving discovery as breaking a "rule" of music theory in order to create a novel, beauteous music piece.
The type of lateral thought, passionate connection, and understanding of the harmony of the universe that one must have to progress the field of physics is fundamentally similar to that which is required to create bold and enlivening music.
In my eyes there's nothing more natural than the mind of a physicist being inspired by music, and albeit occur less, the mind of a musician being inspired by physics/mathematics. If only all children were consistently educated in both, I believe society would be much much more harmonious and gratifying for every individual living within.
Brian Cox I am big fan of yours i have read many book of your's and I like the book wonders of solar system and universe with BBC
It’s a great lecture as usual with Brian, it would be great if the film person showed the slide screen as he ( Brian) is speaking of it.
I can't understand why in the hell would you, when he's giving a important explanation on the presentation, show everything but what he's pointing on the screen. That's the dumbest thing ever! That's the dog brain principle in action. When you point to something to a dog he look at your finger and not to what you are pointing at.
yeah I'd have to watch this a hundred times to even know what's being discussed; yet i find it appealing
Half the time I couldn't see what he was pointing at. Videos like this are really helpful if they are comprehensive.
Music and science are both endeavors of a genius, art in their own ways.
Thank you Brian Cox and CERN
best video montage ever, congrats
The connection between music and science is that the next note can be ANYTHING
Microwave Frequencies and maths equations algebra deferentiation integration, one subject studied at Middlesex Polytechnic Bounds Green, London. Things become easier to understand, hence the value of high level education and subjects. Also won the Seetech football league, London.
It would help a great deal if we could see what Brian is pointing to. Perhaps this isn't the best way to see a lecture of his. Thanks.
Sorry guys. I was the cameraman/cellist for this presentation. I am far better on the cello than the camera but because I am both you wont see the musical presentation that followed.
this is an excellent lecture
of course there's a direct connection between music and science! but it's the disconnection, the switching of the focus of conscious attention, that enables the subconscious to do its own thing and come up with the answer in the morning after a good night's sleep or a scratching of the bow.
There is a much more humility in B. Cox than most others rock star. Thinking of Susskind and others big players in the String Theory field.
(36m) By now I see the familiar problem. Essentially, from my point of view, the professor is explaining that modern physics is easy to understand if we are familiar with basic algebra. At least, if we are familiar with what brackets mean, with how we can multiply and cancel out fractions etc., then we can see where the theories in contemporary physics come from. Those theories are, after all, just a translation of the maths.
The pertinent problem seems to me to be, how do we get the camera to focus on the algebra at the right time. What I really want to see is an animation of those equations being manipulated with the professors voice as the soundtrack. Naturally, that would require a lot of post production.
Great lecture, tough!
Brian me: I want to work at CERN
Brian Cox: I give lecture at CERN
Really cool lecture from Brain Cox, but the editing is done so poorly. They never show what Brian is pointing to on the boards, which is so aggravating if you are trying to follow.
yea that annoys me too.....how on earth the speakers face is more important then the slides is just beyond me.....happens allot....camera ppl fired !
I hope you get the psychiatric help you so sorely need.
BaSH PROMPT see,like ive just donei clicked reply to where it says reply.
tell brian cox that hes a no good,lying scumbag ,he will know wat it means and more people are realizing ,oh dear.
26:40 those magic hands
watching Mr cox giving this lecture makes me think of a gazelle dancing in front of a pride of lions their just waiting for one fuck up and he's lunch, but still it was a good lecture
The hands close up is good. Lol
Frohes neues schon Mal in voraus .
I love this man
It's pretty hard to follow without seeing what he was pointing to on the screen.
Since we are now thinking of the quantum world as vibrating strings we should devote more research into understanding the harmonic interactions between these "particles". Whatever harmonic interaction the neutron has with the proton, allowing two protons to sit so close together, alters the field to prevent the electron from ever making contact. The coulomb force of 2 protons on 1 electron should easily cause attraction but there is a harmonic disturbance keeping the electron from making contact. Both free protons and free electrons are observed in space but we never see static groups of protons and electrons. It is ALWAYS a system of 3 with a neutron. Maxwell explains the strong force as a strong surface tension that operates and extremely small distances but... there really arent surfaces are there? Harmonic interactions at the cross section adjacent fundamental force fields create what we know as matter. I think that is what einstein meant by comparing music to the quantum world. A "tool" to measure particle frequencies and observe the nature of strings would be really nice! Any thoughts on this?
"ALWAYS a system of three with a neutron" - you say?
Please allow me to draw your attention to something called hydrogen. Last time anyone checked, it still had no neutrons. Sorry to disappoint.
ha. I started looking at its atomic mass and youre right... almost always.... there has to be something to that though. hydrogen1 is the only exception and every other molecule has this feature. There must be something out of balance with hydrogen that we can extrapolate to all the rest of the elements. The lack of collisions and neutralizations arent otherwise accounted for... but yes your right. since i posted this i realized hydrogen was the only exception. and deuterium (hydrogen 2) and triterium (hydrogen 3) do follow this trend.
I have 3 of Brian's books and it's very hard to put one down once you pick it up.
brian cox is a genius
haha, saw my particle physics professor in the audience XD
Isn't it amazing we can see this angle of lectures without being there? I can only imagine how it was in the early 1900's up to what hearing and reading about our discoveries through the vine. We are in the future!
does observation appear to change how photons travel i.e wave or particle.
when i look for the answer all i can find is the woo woo version that observation/measurement appears to have some effect.
542k views minus 3.4k thumbs up = 538.6k of us didn't have clue what he was talking about.
Now that's what I call maths!!!
The lectures are good and very informative. someone takes initiative to understand the cosmos. every step is a gateway for a humanity. otherwise we would still be age old orangutans keep the Moto. life is wonderful journey of discovery of the unknown. their will be always new understanding
a small telescope gave the wonders of the world and that lead to sun centric understanding.
human life is short but knowledge is unfathomable.
You guys want to hear symmetry breaking music?
Rings of Saturn... such great musicians going troppo....
I wish I was just really really smart as people like these..😔
Regarding 'physics rockstar', the humble Cox might be horrified, but there are reasons he is popular and one of them is that when he listens to someone, he smiles and nods and at least tries to appear engaged and happy and encouraging. This compares to the physicists in the auditorium receiving Brian's lecture who are apparently all clinically depressed gargoyles. None of those people get millions of hits on public lectures on the incredibly deep subjects of which they are experts, because their natural reaction to other people speaking is to glare like angry old men who have just been told they are impotent.
But i do like how he was the only person in the room to laugh at a force being put into a small tube 😂😂😂 dont worry im with ya 🤣✌
Tough Crowd - superb content.
More effective than valium, thank you.
@6:00 The idea of one big bang in the universe is so wrong. Every active galactic nuclei with a jetting supermassive black hole is essentially going through the process described as the big bang. That is to say these jetting SMBH are melting ingested matter-energy into fundamental matter and jetting that plasma out of the poles. That plasma cools and some decays back into standard matter-energy. In large part the plasma cools into a geometric gas condensate that permeates the universe. You may know it as the quantum vacuum, or the Higgs field, or any of the other words to describe all the functionality that the condensate provides: weak force, strong force, and gravity. The plasma and condensate are composed of electrinos and positrinos, three electrinos making an electron, and three positrinos making a positron.
Magnificent! :)
The camera views ought to encompass the visual display being discussed.
When they say that the observable universe is 90B light years across does that mean the furthest observable galaxies/quasars are 90B light years from the "center"? And if so does that mean that in the early universe expansion was faster than the speed of light?
The universe is expanding on itself, it has no specific center.
Nothing can travel faster than light in the universe but the universe can do whatever the heck it wants. 👍🏻
+Alexei Ramotar I'm not a scientist or anything but I hope I can explain a bit. What we usually mean by the observable universe is the "bubble" around us in which we can observe objects (in other words their light has reached us). We cannot see outside that bubble because light from there in turn hasn't reached us yet.
We are our own observable universe's centre but in fact each point in space has its own observable universe (a 'bubble' if you may). The universe itself has no centre and it could very well be infinite for all we know.
The early universe certainly expanded faster than the speed of light and in fact I think it does so even today. I'm not sure about any numbers but we think that the expansion is actually accelerating.
It's good to keep in mind that the objects themselves don't move faster than light (nothing can really do that) but the space between them is doing just that.
I hope this helps (although you might have gotten an answer a long time ago... well, maybe someone sees it anyway).
Prof BRIAN COX ON LIFE FALSIFIES THE BIG BANG
1. When speaking of the chance origin of life Prof Brian Cox said the following
2. _"All it takes is a system far from equilibrium with a flow of energy and a spark"_
3. What he did not say was what he actually meant by _"far from equilibrium"_
4. What he meant by "spark" is a random improbable event favouring a molecular replicator
5. But _"far from equilibrium"_ in thermodynamics means in a state of *ORDER*
6. That is from one state of *thermodynamic order* some energy may be directed to create more *order*
7. Directed energy in thermodynamics is called *work* but its creation is inefficient producing heat
8. Therefore the former state of order is always greater than the latter state of order it may create
9. That means the work which created the former state of order must have come from a higher state of order still
10. Such a regression must stop at an original state of maximum order consistent with a creation and the second law
11. The Big Bang creates a state of *HIGH DISORDER* as indicated by the smoothness of the CMBR (equilibrium)
12. The Big Bang is falsified as a violation of the second law of thermodynamics. Q.E.D.
This must mean the Bible is true then 😂
@@TheCorrectionist1984 You can only know that for sure when you *meet* the God of the bible.. but it is a logical conclusion anyway..
If you want science explained to you in a 1+1=2 kind of way, watch Richard Feynman videos. He is the best
The Great!!!
the simplest field is one that a variable can be added to make any leap desired
An important question is why we have statistical mathematics! Is it more logical to think of geometry as the language of the Universe with the potential for human mathematics being formed by that geometry? We have π in a lot of the equations of physics could it represent the seed of a geometric process that human mathematics are based upon? At the smallest scale could the Planck constant ħ=h/2π be a constant of action in the dynamic geometrical process that we see and feel as the passage of time? In such a theory we have an emergent uncertain ∆×∆pᵪ≥h/4π future unfolding relative to the atoms of the periodic table therefore unfolding relative to our own actions.
Approx 5:50 he mentions Sven not Sven, Global Entity project from Tekfusion Studio based in Swindon. Now many and common belief is Swindon is named after Swine (pig), but during a journey in haunted Wiltshire at a town famous for Pig farming, an I formation hub attendant mentioned Swindon was named after Sven the Viking. KJ do you know the history of Great Britain? After all Normans were descendants of Vikings, this tells us they carved up the country from all angles and not just the east coast. Reload a collection of short stories.
Great lecture, well thought out. I have one question though... eh?
Cox structures his talks to ensure that he makes lay folk feel like imbeciles. As a doctoral graduate and academic with a fair grasp of quantum mechanics even I was rolling my eyes at how he went out of his way to over complicate everything he was talking about. I personally can't stand the guy because he intentionally makes science inaccessible and disinteresting to people we ought to win over! Try Susskind's lectures instead. Far smarter man, teaching far more complex things, yet utterly understandable.
+BaSH PROMPT (ಠ,ಠ) he's talking to people who fully understand it why would he dumb it down?
+GreatestAlive29 Yeah, I'm with you. I think he does the exact opposite of intentionally making science inaccessible and disinteresting. My initial comment was actually just a joke - I thought it was funny anyway.
Most important thought in the 54:48min depiction. Scientists need to make the progress relevant, in simple terms to the general public so they can consume the importance of scientific achievements! We need the support (financial and inspirational movement) of everyone's understanding, not only of knowledgeable people but that of the entire world. I'm only seeing people support a direction of going to "Hell in a handbasket." We support sports with tons of money and time. We buy the shirts, shoes and are passionate about things that have such short-sighted achievements. We been condition to love money and investments . These ideas will always outweigh the importance of acting against climate change or any intelligent awareness that we need to react to. We seriously need more that can explain and elevate the importance of understanding reason. We need to "popularize science," we need to make it universal, we need to make science accessible to more than just the academic world. Otherwise we'll just be a "BLIP" in the time scope of history. Standard teaching of science and progress needs to help the entire world catch up with all the learning that has been accumulated. Does anyone else here agree how dire the future is and how important we need to standardize the knowledge to the current generation? I hope Brian is not a drop in the ocean because we need rivers of people like him to allow us to save humanity!
I'm trying to understand this lecture but it is tough because when he is explaining the calculation I'm guessing what he is talking about.
"This bit here means X" - shows full equation.
Not very helpful. It would be good if someone who understands this could highlight the bits of the equation he is talking about.
IdiotWatch I´m trying to understand this lecture too. I´m not a physicist but a very interested person. If there are people out there or Prof. Cox himself willing to explain these equations in a scientific way, wich would reach a nonprofesional audience, I would be very greatfull...
IdiotWatch It is very difficult for sure. You can't see where he's pointing, or the camera isn't focused on it, and you can lose it. That's a technical failing of the video production, not him. Just be like me; jealous of the audience who can SEE where he's pointing.
great lecture!
Ironic and curiously typical that just as the professor explains the maths in a simple, comprehensive and accessible manner, the camera focuses on anything but (24m).
It actually not that complex. If you know what the symbols mean.
Brian Cox could talk about a glass of milk and I would listen to him.
Man turning back the clock bit by bit=reality
This video would have been much better if the camera actually pointed at the PROJECTION, so you can SEE what he's talking about more.
glad u all concentrating on the cameraman and his work never mind the great lecture by brian cox shame on u :D
How many #violations we have now in Elamentary particle Model, every violation is a success?
Great lecture saw all of it
I'm doing this. 8 ballers.
Great lecture but why are there only 3 cameras on this event when there should be 5 or 6.
Brilliant! !
He says "We know." and etc. but he is not working on the cutting edge of physics he is just a television presenter, although in fairness to Brian, a very clever one.
Yep. A Very Clever Man!
Mike Fuller you obviously don’t know him that well. Perhaps you’re not from the uk but his day job is working on cutting edge physics at the LHC and he is a part time TV presenter...not the other way round.
Inflation is NOT a proven theory, neither is it generally accepted, it´s just a proposal (Guth, Linde, et al ). Steinhardt reneged from it after proposing it and receiving a prize for it and later realizing it´s folly. The jury is still out with no indication when it´ll be back.
Pill Box have you done as much as Brain, show me some examples?
Um, is this video 360p only or is it some issue with my browser/plugins/OS?
.........fascinating
Brian to physics is like Jackson Browne to song.
nice lecture, appreciate the upload, re the cameras, they look to be remotely operated, perhaps would be better to locked them off.
Sorry to be picky, but is there a better quality video anywhere?
Perfect for falling in sleep 😴
The idea of a neutrino bouncing off an electron takes some getting use to.
Great math class material at 35 minutes in :-)
Its weird that they started discussing music and science after a loaded lecture like this, which has nothing to do with this
Yeah the lady really took it on the wrong tracks with that question.
Brian Cox was in a couple of bands one of which had number one hits. Maybe that's why music was mentioned.
The state of the matter = lhc!!!
Your an artist...
That’s a luxury no one forced people to use relaxers that’s insane !
CERN please show the pointer on the projected screen.
At 4.49 into the lecture, Brian says the universe is 90 billion light years across. I understand the universe to be about 13.7 billion light years old and that nothing can travel faster than light. Therefore, how can any information further than 13.7 billion light years away supporting a size of 90 billion light years have reached us? I am not a cosmologist and actually left school at 16 and so have no higher education. So can someone please explain to me as clearly as possible how we know the universe is bigger than the furthest distance that light has had time to travel to us from. Thanks.
Thanks Peter. I'd considered that, but found difficulty with this problem: The universe began approximately 13.7 billion light years ago from a singularity. To be 90 billion light years across, suggests that some parts of the universe would have to be at least 45 billion light years from their point of origin. If those volumes of the universe are made up by gases, galaxies, stars, planets etc, then they are made up by bodies/objects with mass. How can bodies/objects that have mass have travelled faster than the speed of light? That is, how can they be at least 45 billion light years from their point of origin in a universe only 13.7 billion light years old???
On a side issue, having no education does not make you stupid. It only means you lack the knowledge that those who have been educated posses as a result.
The organization has began its first move "El phy congro' lol
