Isn't Dr. Copeland awesome? He just has this pleasant personality that makes learning science very much fun. Although when he talks about string theory, sometimes I wonder what kind of craziness it is!
thank you for watching (and saying such nice things)!!! the best way to thank us is to keep watching (and share with any like-minded friends, of course!)
It really is a privilege for us viewers to see this video. I'm very glad the people at CERN are kind enough to let people film things like this it's just fantastic.
I cannot thank you enough for this series on the LHC. This topic has become a passion of mine. I am an armchair learner since I am a stay-at-home mom. This helps my mind not turn to mush.
Ed has given the best (simple and understandable) explanation about the CMS's operation I've ever seen. Congrats and thanks for that! You can really feel his joy when he sees the detector!
I believe I'm even more impressed that you managed to give a detailed tour without ever having been there. It's great to get science tours from a fan of that science. There is a certain love for the craft that translates nicely.
I like how you slowly pan the camera to get the central pipe into the background while the professor was explaining the happenings inside the central pipe. Great video.
Professor Copeland makes me happy. He's usually so calm in these videos... this is as animated as I've ever seen him. For good reason... I'd be ecstatic to visit CERN, too. I love it! Thanks Brady!!
Within' 3 meters per second of the speed of light?! They said it was close, but... what the actual $@#%? I can't believe we can do stuff like this... so insanely humbling.
Another fantastic Sixty Symbols video. Now that I've watched every single video on the web site, I'm fantastically excited every time a new video is posted. I wish there was a new one every day.
his face at 2:09.... the joy... so cute.. Really. A grown up man feeling such happiness,,, wow. And he is a lovable character in all those vids... so... it is good to see him happy.
Yet again another brilliant sixtysymbols video, Brady! Dr. Copeland's initial facial expression was classic. 12:31 minutes felt like 30 seconds on the cheap.
there will be for this CMS film actually - something rather unusual... but won't have time until middle of next week I'm afraid. keep an eye on nottinghamscience.
Wow.. It's unbelievable how complex that thing is! Imagine if something was messed up inside that detector.. One loose wire or something. Got to admire the people who are building and using things like that. Great video!
Geeze, if being a physicist doesn't work out, Copeland can always apply for tour guide of the LHC - he certainly knows enough about it for the job. Great video!
Brady.. I've said it so many times.. You're fantastic for doing this, all the editing, the traveling. Also, thank the Professors for spreading their knowledge across the world wide web.
I think I'd die from exhaustion - are you following our other channels - deepskyvideos, numberphile, periodicvideos, nottinghamscience, favscientist, foodskey, backstagescience, etc
I bet I will look as happy as Ed did when I get to go to CERN and see the LHC and hopefully the detectors end of the next January. These videos are great preparation for the trip!
Really love your videos, been subscribed for over a year now and its this channel + periodic videos which pushed me to go and study chemistry at degree level... Thanks alot Brady :)
This is one of those rare occasions when I'm fully proud on the human race and what it's capable of. I can almost feel the minds that created this machine, reasons, will and curiosity behind it. Prof. Ed only adds additional emotion to it:) Thx for the video, really enjoined it .
The builders of the Giza pyramids would feel so jealous after seeing this video. I'm now prouder to be human and happier to live in this age after seeing this video! The thinking of the sheer amount of accumulated human knowledge and effort (literally over centuries) to build this thing just gives me chills.
2:08 - the face when a scientist's inner child comes to life :D Another amazing video, I really wish these were posted more often, you guys sparked my intrest in chemistry. I had Ds in 1st and 2nd grade of gymnasium but now in 4th grade I'm even close to an A and am actually thinking about studying chemistry later on :D
I'm proud to say my PC helps CERN in processing the data from LHC. If you want to help them too, sign up for BOINC network and apply for "muon". It is not only that: you are free to choose the science branch you want to help. There are many options besides "muon": astronomy, biochemistry (protein folding mostly), chemistry, physics etc. Whichever field you want to support.
I often think to myself that the LHC principle was thought up by a semi drunk physicist thinking about SMASHING objects together at the speed of light! Great work guys! :D This is the pinnacle of human science and I am very humbled by the intelligent people who are working on it!
You guys have more cool knowledge in a 10 minute video than the science channel/ discovery puts in an hour show. And with no commercials about big foot, ghosts, or aliens :)
An interesting fact that's not mentioned often is why the LHC is turned off during winter. There are lots of bits of maintenance to do, but the main reason is power. The LHC's power comes from France's nuclear power output. In summer most of this power is spare so its used for the LHC, but in winter all the people using their heating means that there's not enough power left over. The LHC uses up to 300MW of power, which is about 1/3 of the entire output of a typical French nuclear power plant.
I loved Dr Copeland's childish look of glee at the start,its moments like that make me fascinated with science and technology and give me passion to continue studying it! =D Very well done Brady and Dr Copeland! Can't wait to see more! ^_^
Nothing is better than that huge smile on his face when he sees this amazing piece of technology :P I think I did that when I saw a cyclotron for the first time! That made my day
cant wait to see atlas, this is the point in time when we need you guys to bring the world this type of stuff, you make people think, you give them knowledge. You inspire. Personally on the down side all I can say is that unlike you I dont use this knowledge on a daily basis, I do try to think of it when i see it but i forget much since it just doesnt work that way in daily life for me. If people only could understand how science has kept our loved ones alive.
the principle applies, but only on very small scales and with particles that dont have much kinetic energy. measuring the momentum changes the momentum, but with SO MUCH momentum its like a bullet going through a sheet of paper. the location of the collision is being figured out indirectly, either by having several detectors at different distances, or by making use of the fact that some particles decompose into two particles that fly off in exactly opposite directions.
probarbly within CERN. If you, for example, assemble/disassemble/repair turbomolecular vacuum pumps, a single fingerprint can damage a component by the weight of the fingerprint putting it out of balance. These things run at up to 90000 RPM with the outer areas of the rotor moving at rifle bullet speed. and thats just one reason why you might want to put up a sign like that. Could be expensive stuff that can be damaged incredibly easy, or stuff that looks harmless but is incredibly dangerous.
Thank you, guys, for this look into the hardware and structural engineering related to the data-crunching, I hope this is followed up with some of the human aspect on the otherside of the number-crunching.
You mentioned there are several different layers of materials within the detector to catch the different types of particles and prevent them from escaping. Isn't it possible that some of the undetected particles can escape, since we don't know much/anything about them? Maybe they need different materials as well?
If they do escape, they are mostly harmless if that's what you're worrying? Those that escape are those that man can't stop. There were calculations that say that one would need a lightyear of lead to stop them. So yeah, we need more materials.
That look on his face was PRICELESS !
ThreeXcore Like a small kid in a huge LEGO playground. Love it!
Isn't Dr. Copeland awesome? He just has this pleasant personality that makes learning science very much fun. Although when he talks about string theory, sometimes I wonder what kind of craziness it is!
He is perhaps cleverer than me?
It's so cool to see the professor enthusiastic like a kid on Christmas morning :)
+Cristian Vrabie He is so happy!
Was it his first time there?
think so
I've seen photos and video of these things before but Ed's enthusiasm combined with his understanding makes it all more real somehow. Thanks!
Ed is my favourite Prof on sixty symbols, he's seems like such a nice guy.
thank you for watching (and saying such nice things)!!!
the best way to thank us is to keep watching (and share with any like-minded friends, of course!)
It really is a privilege for us viewers to see this video. I'm very glad the people at CERN are kind enough to let people film things like this it's just fantastic.
Well said! XX
You can also visit the detectors :)
Ed and Moriarty are fantastic! All the professors are great, but those two make it for me.
I cannot thank you enough for this series on the LHC. This topic has become a passion of mine. I am an armchair learner since I am a stay-at-home mom. This helps my mind not turn to mush.
I think the LHC should be a world wonder in a future Civ game.
Empire Earth 4 :D
Rise of nation did ;)
Dr. Copeland, you've given a hundred thousand kids a reason to pursue a career in science.
Thank you, sir.
Where were teachers like Ed when I was at school? That excitement is contagious.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is a happy man.
Ed has given the best (simple and understandable) explanation about the CMS's operation I've ever seen. Congrats and thanks for that! You can really feel his joy when he sees the detector!
I believe I'm even more impressed that you managed to give a detailed tour without ever having been there. It's great to get science tours from a fan of that science. There is a certain love for the craft that translates nicely.
It brings joy to ones heart seeing someone being so excited to be somewhere...
I like how you slowly pan the camera to get the central pipe into the background while the professor was explaining the happenings inside the central pipe. Great video.
more on that coming soon!
you're welcome... plenty more to come from the LHC over the next few weeks!
Professor Copeland makes me happy. He's usually so calm in these videos... this is as animated as I've ever seen him. For good reason... I'd be ecstatic to visit CERN, too. I love it! Thanks Brady!!
thanks... more to come
i just wanna say i love 60symbols. I am super excited every time i see there is new 60's video uploaded!! Thanks a lot guys.
Within' 3 meters per second of the speed of light?! They said it was close, but... what the actual $@#%? I can't believe we can do stuff like this... so insanely humbling.
The best thing about sixty symbols, is not the awesome information we learn, but the glow in their faces each time they talk about these things.
Tony, I love your enthusiasm and the great way you explain everything.
Another fantastic Sixty Symbols video. Now that I've watched every single video on the web site, I'm fantastically excited every time a new video is posted. I wish there was a new one every day.

12:31 minutes felt like 30 seconds on the cheap.
2:05 Best part of the video. It's wonderful seeing people so excited about the universe.
Brady, and the rest of you guys... we love you. Thank you SO much.
there will be for this CMS film actually - something rather unusual... but won't have time until middle of next week I'm afraid. keep an eye on nottinghamscience.
Wow.. It's unbelievable how complex that thing is! Imagine if something was messed up inside that detector.. One loose wire or something. Got to admire the people who are building and using things like that. Great video!
Probably one of the happiest Physics professors I've ever seen!
I read a lot of articles about the detectors but none of them explained everything so well as you did in 10 minutes. :)
Geeze, if being a physicist doesn't work out, Copeland can always apply for tour guide of the LHC - he certainly knows enough about it for the job. Great video!
Brady.. I've said it so many times.. You're fantastic for doing this, all the editing, the traveling.
Also, thank the Professors for spreading their knowledge across the world wide web.
You really are a brilliant journalist. Thank you. Do you what no newspaper could ever achieve.
Lol it's so cool to see Ed with such a huge happy-excited-billy smile ! :-D
I love prof. Ed so much, I wish I could make him teach me particle physics. And Physics in general. And everything, really.
This is AMAZING!
A fine, fine piece of engineering that I never thought would be so grand!
Congratulations Brady, you opened a new perspective to me
I think I'd die from exhaustion - are you following our other channels - deepskyvideos, numberphile, periodicvideos, nottinghamscience, favscientist, foodskey, backstagescience, etc
when i saw you guys had posted this video on my ipod at school, it made me really excited to get home and watch it. great job guys
11:52 - Best Keep Out notice ever!
I love how giggly Ed is the whole time. :P
cool, glad you liked it!
When theoretical phycisists see what practical physicists do :)
Priceless look
I'm already happy because it's Friday, but seeing Ed's face as he saw the detector made me smile oh so much more :D
the professor smiled. like a Cheshire Cat .......fantastic.
I bet I will look as happy as Ed did when I get to go to CERN and see the LHC and hopefully the detectors end of the next January. These videos are great preparation for the trip!
oh we'll soon be talking about black holes too - but hopefully in a calm way! ;)
nice work...
@9:45 "Fire extinguisher"
So much metal. I wonder what could burn, or what the various fire scenarios are?
You do know Brady, that your series are 23 orders of magnitude better than any science program I've seen on TV.
Awesome. That was the best explanation I've heard for what goes on inside the detectors.
We also visited ATLAS - video from there coming soon!
He looks so happy throughout the entire video, made me smile too :D
Really love your videos, been subscribed for over a year now and its this channel + periodic videos which pushed me to go and study chemistry at degree level... Thanks alot Brady :)
Loved this video. Your enthusiasim is infectious!
His face was priceless!! I would love to see something like that in person so I can see why he was so excited!
This is one of those rare occasions when I'm fully proud on the human race and what it's capable of. I can almost feel the minds that created this machine, reasons, will and curiosity behind it.
Prof. Ed only adds additional emotion to it:)

you're very welcome... it is not the world's worst task so we're happy to do it! ;)
Thank you Dr. Ed Copeland and Brady.

I never thought Ed could look *more* happy than he normally does!
I fucking love this guy. That sparkle in his eyes when he talks about physics is just brilliant.
Thank youtube and thank people like Brady that the world can appreciate all these technology at the comfort of their own home :)
Excellent. Ed looks so excited, too. It's nice to see people being happy about science. (It's why I watch these videos, largely!)
i love that this guy is so excited about this! :D
I often think to myself that the LHC principle was thought up by a semi drunk physicist thinking about SMASHING objects together at the speed of light!
Great work guys! :D
This is the pinnacle of human science and I am very humbled by the intelligent people who are working on it!
I've been to CMS, absolutely stunning, it was open when i went, just amazing.
I was just noticing how happy he looks. Excellent :)

Very well done Brady and Dr Copeland! Can't wait to see more! ^_^
Was interesting to see such a child like happy face.
I know he chose the right thing for him if it gets him that excited!
Cheers.
Nothing is better than that huge smile on his face when he sees this amazing piece of technology :P I think I did that when I saw a cyclotron for the first time! That made my day
Brilliant. Thank you for sharing this fantastic experience with us and explaining in detail what the component parts are. ;)
cant wait to see atlas, this is the point in time when we need you guys to bring the world this type of stuff, you make people think, you give them knowledge. You inspire.
Personally on the down side all I can say is that unlike you I dont use this knowledge on a daily basis, I do try to think of it when i see it but i forget much since it just doesnt work that way in daily life for me.
If people only could understand how science has kept our loved ones alive.
we read all the comments!
YES! FINALLY! I've been looking forward to these videos. I'd love to go there at some point.
the look on Dr. Copeland's face when he walked into the tunnel was priceless :)

Thank you for this informative upload.
Thank you for sharing this with us!
Well, this is my last video (so far) in my quest to watch all of them in order! Can't wait for the new ones!
not that I caught on camera!?

I've been waiting for this video for much too long
I love the way all this ultra sophisticated hardware can be viewed by anybody.
1:20 Leave it to physicists to have the basement floors labeled with a negative. Love it.
permanent grin on ed's face through the entire video. love it.
Awesome. been anticipating this video for a while. job well done.
You mentioned there are several different layers of materials within the detector to catch the different types of particles and prevent them from escaping.
Isn't it possible that some of the undetected particles can escape, since we don't know much/anything about them? Maybe they need different materials as well?
hey you just watched the video of all the best bits - you just avoided the airports and expensive hotel food!
If they do escape, they are mostly harmless if that's what you're worrying?
Those that escape are those that man can't stop. There were calculations that say that one would need a lightyear of lead to stop them. So yeah, we need more materials.
you're welcome!
Great video, some pretty epic technology pictured here.
