well treat our conduct itself
higgs boson discovery
because
i don't know what this thing is and i've read a lot about it
if you could track my eyes
as i read it uh... and explanation of what the higgs boson
discovery is
you would see that my eyes
go across the page
list of the page and here
demise is keep going uh... in a
allow our older action and i just spent around and i look and see if there's a
snack around
uh... maybe this is banned it's a time for me to have a drink uh... well
whatever it is that i a m interested in uh... and by beginning to point
about basically
this is a dc
um...
it is part of
you know they have a v
uh... the the chemical uh...
well at it's it gets in
elementary part
of physics i guess that is
that crew
gives all their aspects of other elementary lea parts of uh... physics
mass
so let me hear all go to uh... uh...
uh... what uh... what uh... tim dowling at the guardian has a uh...
helpful and i don't how to explain higgs boson
uh... to uh... uh... to different people
and so uh... i i'm gonna try it for people you're trying to impress
i was going this is that the higgs boson is an elementary skeletal article
first posited nineteen sixty two
i happen to know that it was uh... posited by higgs
as a uh... potential by-product of the mechanism
hereby wish a hypothetical ubiquitous cop quantum field these so-called higgs
field gives master elementary particles why practically already said that
that even having to read it
i don't know what that means
and this is uh... what you would uh... how you'd explain it to a child in the
back seat of a car
and this is the one that i got
it's a particle that some scientists have been looking for because they knew
without it the universe would be impossible
because without it the other particles in the universe wouldn't have mass
because they were all continue to travel to speed of light just like photons dale
and now will go to burger king
that's the way you talk to the kid in the uh... back seat of the car
but apparently had they been collecting
they have built this massive um...
the its
lab i would guide would call it i mean it's um... this
massive uh... structure
in that indeed ween
france and switzerland
it is a seventy mile circular tunnel
thousands of torpedoes size magnets
basically which which bend the beams of subatomic matter
and to create trillions of subatomic color collisions
cost ten billion dollars involves six thousand researchers
and
it underground
they fire all these uh... subatomic uh... pop
by just particles
and then collect
terrified after terrified of data
which i guess they believed until like two percent of it
and
what has already been laid out in mathematics that there's something else
there
that creates mass
for these uh... kind of particles
this is all part of this is supposedly n
and i've seen some reports of mark thoma who is at this uh...
who is out this uh... conference at cern
c_e_o_ are and
uh... where a whole lot of these i guess physicists are gathering
and herb super excited about this
although summer-like well we we still got a you know
really see that this is happening but so far looks like it is
uh...
and
apparently had in this standard model writing this is the model that uh...
it's like uh... that uh...
that chart that you have the in chemistry you know with all the
different uh...
uh... elements
well this is the this same version of that but for physics
they're building blocks
the standard model features two kinds of particles
there are
for millions
particles of matter which take up space
so i'll be so you can't have them
occupancy same spaced the same time
and then there are bosons
which are forced particles
which can actually
take up the same space
four forces include gravity electro magnetism
strong nuclear force in the week nuclear force the last when the week force is
the most messin' complicated a forces
and he expire soon
really behaved so field from which arises is the reason why
for other forces gravity electro magnetism
strong nuclear force
before scaring the particles all have precisely zero mass
i guess higgs boson it gives
uh...
the week wins mass
i don't know if this means
but apparently physicist reprieve said about it
and some people are saying that when uh... people look back at this time
they'll remember two things
they higgs boson discovery
into the factory to do anything about climate change
all this other stuff just commentary
why wasn't the higgs boson in uh...
discovered in america but instead
had to be seen discovered
somewhere beneath the ground in france in
switzerland border i guess around that area
in texas
back in the nineteen eighties american physicist were developing a particle
accelerator which is another one of these huge
tunnels i guess ur
uh... big pipes
and
it was supposed to be three times
as powerful
as the uh...
hedren call collider
which is where uh... this discovery was made
but congress cut off the funds
this is uh...
steven weinberg physicists and nobel laureate
involved in the planning
in the nineteen eighties
plans for superconducting supercollider or s_s_c_
which would excel ray protons two-twenty t
tear v which i don't even know what that means
uh... three times the maximum maximum energy there will be available to cern
large he drink a lighter
uh...
they designed it for ten years
a site was selected in texas
they bought the land
they began construction on the tunnel
and in nineteen ninety two
house represents canceled the funding for the s_s_c_
was then restored by a house-senate conference committee but the next year
the same thing happened again
and this time the house would not go along with the recommendations of the
conference committee
after an expenditure of almost two billion dollars in thousands of men
years the s_s_c_ was dead
and now it will uh...
it's been discovered in europe
and we'll have all sorts of uh... implications and just the pursuit of
that science
has all sorts of the implications to science in this country
and of course uh... sciences all just bunk anyways we all know that uh...
earth is only six thousand years
and uh...
it's just that god doesn't
