What Now For The Higgs Boson?

- Опубликовано: 16 июн 2024
- For a report on ABC's Catalyst program (www.abc.net.au/catalyst/), I visited the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland to find out what is being done now that the Higgs Boson has been discovered.
Although its mass has been measured around 125-126 GeV most of the other properties of the particle remain unknown. Its spin appears to be 0 or 2 but more results are required to nail this down. If it is the standard model Higgs, the spin should be 0, resulting in a fairly symmetric distribution of decay products in the detectors.
We may know this year if it's not the standard model Higgs - this would be the case if it doesn't decay into specific particles with the expected frequency. However if it is the standard model Higgs, it may take many more years to be certain. The large hadron collider will be shut down in 2013 for upgrades so that higher energies up to 14 TeV can be tested. Right now the LHC is operating at 8 TeV. The next announcement is expected in December.
Just to clarify: The higgs boson fitted the standard model making everyone really sad. :(
my last name is higgs
Tianna Higgs are you a boson?
Technically, they are also satisfied that it fits, but now it leaves them looking for more without any feasible leads.
Saw this video After 7 years this comment killed my vibes.. I was expecting to see this was not standard model higgs but first comment I saw was the reality :(
Higgs boosom, it's a very busty particle and full of fun.
I'm working on it. I want it to be really good - that takes time. Sorry for the wait!
Excellent. The fact of Peter Higgs being alive to see these results is incredible and motivational.
I'm visiting the CERN Open Days this weekend so I'm watching a bunch of vids about the LHC and Higgs to prepare, and this is the most illuminating one I've seen. Thank you!
not only were these very high energy collisions, they were also high luminosity which means lots of collisions per second. That results in much more data, allowing better statistical discrimination of the signal from noise.
The Higgs makes matter not mass. Why don't you admit it?
kk
Yes exactly, luminosity is no. of collisions per second per unit cross sectional area :)
they do create new particles. They create particles that weren't there before. For example, it is possible to turn a photon into an electron-positron pair if the energy of the photon is high enough.
Just came back from there two days ago. Had a good look around LHCb.
For a species that has come from hunting in the savannah, evolving through millions of years, developing civilization and knowledge, to break matter into it's most fundamental components, and discovering how the universe works, this is a remarkable time, worthy of awe and optimism for future generations.
I wish we could know that before we die,
it actually is not talking about a mirror expanding universe - but a doubling of the number of fundamental particles. These 'supersymmetric' particles have not yet been observed.
Veritasium, First off, wonderful video! Do you recommend an updated video of yours or of another's channel that you have watched in order for us to further explore this concept? Please let me know!
This was perhaps the best of all of the videos you have made.
Great video! This is truly amazing stuff. It's an exciting time to be alive.
2-3 years later now they're coming to find out that it's something more profound.
dustynbones where is that info found? So many years and you don't hear anything of this anymore.
holy cow...this was 3 years ago already? I must be getting old man...I remember this like it was yesterday...if you'd asked me when this was from, I'd probably say something like "january? maybe march? I forget"...unreal...
This comment was made 3 years ago? Damn
True
Must be the weed your chongin. 😝
Higgs' Boson is nothing to play with. Turn off Cern' now before they blow our Universe to Smitherin's.
@@crunchybanana6616 This comment was made 7 months ago? Damn
I wonder: does the standard model address whether the Higgs field is homogeneous? If the field is of uniform density throughout, a 1kg mass would have 1kg of inertial resistance anywhere in the universe. On the other hand, if the field were "clumpy" like a fog or perhaps even clustered like galaxies, that 1kg mass could experience greater inertia where the Higgs field is more dense and less inertia where it's less dense.
True and it makes you wonder if the so called dark matter might be nothing more than the Higgs field itself
That's a really interesting supposition that I hadn't considered.
Baronstone That is a very interesting thought :)
Hameem The idea really makes you think about it.
Baronstone yup .. it sure does mate !
this was a great discussion. Splendid job!
There are lots of fields, no need to single out the Higgs field - what about the electromagnetic field, the electron field, or the quark field? Reality seems to be based on the existence of quite a few fields. So if you want, you could ask why does anything exist at all? Lawrence Krauss took a stab at this in his latest book.
My brother in law helped find the Higgs!
are you dying of jealousy? x3
congrats to your family \m/,
***** not particularly. i have my own talents and interests. although i LOVE the subject of science, i am very happy with my own achievements. I am very proud of his status in the scientific community and very much enjoy his company and participation within :)
Tanner saslow A shame many of the researchers who worked together to find the thing ended up not being publicly recognized...
TheNirl Oh but they were. All of them, very equally - their names are all cited in the papers that were published. No joke. Thousands of them, it takes a lot of pages, just for the names of the authors. Not all of them got TV interviews, though... I guess that's what you mean...
Roberto Fontiglia i know, but it is still fairly prestigious to be apart of that.
This helped me sooo much, thank you. I was always confused with the term Higgs Boson. Now.. next phase. SPARTICLE!
It amazes me that CERN recently shut down the super collider for a several year period to re-tune it for more power. It takes SEVERAL YEARS to turn it off, re-calibrate it, and power it back up. That machine has to be added to the "wonders of the world" list. It's an engineering accomplishment that is absolutely mind boggling.
Next up: graviton
Kyle Netherwood good luck finding one
Nikolaj Jensen That's what I'm saying
doubt
Didn't Einstein prove gravity wasn't a force, but a curvature in the spacetime?
I don't think we will find spin-2 particles (or spin-3/2 particles for that matter). The Higgs was the last major missing piece of 20th century physics. 21st century physics will require a whole new kind of physical model of the universe.

well someone hit 10 million, congrats brother
This video opens a new dimension to the world of science itself. Thanks for the explanation Sir..🙃🙃
"I better like to be late than early"... Words to live by.
I'm 7years late replying to this comment
@@THEMATT222 im 10 hours early :D
@Konomi Noice👍
I wonder what all those scientists do everyday there (genuine question) what their individual roles are, how they work together.. It'd be super interesting
That's what I'm talking about! I want to understand the real scientific method here, not just hear about their results. Maybe by explaining how it all works, what all the moving pieces are, then people might be interested to participate. How can you get an advanced degree in a scientific field of study if you don't even know that it exists?
Norm T are you trolling? Or so stupid that you misunderstood a very straightforward and simple statement? I'm talking about motivating and informing students to enable them to choose careers in the ever expanding fields of science and engineering, a field which will require more and more educated people as time progresses. Something that the US education system doesn't seem to be doing very well.
Scott's question was incredibly benign and inspired by scientific curiosity. How in the world did you find a way to take offense to it? Furthermore, how does an educated individual such as yourself respond in such a way to a simple question? Questions are a fundamental part of science, and we would not have had any of the advances in technology and science that you listed if someone had not posed the question. Responding in the manner that you have is incredibly counterproductive. But perhaps that's the point, in which case your opinion is inconsequential. If that is not the point, and you truly care about science and advancing technology, then you should definitely change your attitude.
Matthew Bell I think that Norm T was just a troll. There's no other way to explain how and why a person would say such ridiculous things. Or maybe he just has really bad eyesight and couldn't read what I wrote, and decided to fly off the handle in a very pathetic display of unbridled internet rage over the few bits and pieces of my message that he could actually read, completely failing to comprehend what was actually said. Either way, it was kind of entertaining.
Sad, is what it was. Especially on a veritasium video.
It awesome how I got this video recommended on July 4th.. when the announcement was made.
Would be awesome if you did an update on this 10 years on 👌🏻
Good thing they generate more questions than they do answers or they would be out of a friggin job
so its 3 years later, is this the standard model higgs?
what do you mean, the Higgs proton is a part of the standard model but it isn't THE standard model
He is asking if its behavior and properties match those predicted in the standard model, or if they deviate from it.
Elouj Time Reaver same boring standard model
RAIN it's all most 4 years
boson*
Wow I am just on a science streak when it comes to the topic about the higgs boson.
Such a interesting topic when it comes to science and the theory of mass.
Incredible work. Wish there was such a large hadron collider in India
If the new physics is along the lines we expect, there's a possibility of additional spatial dimensions or a mirror image of the entire universe... um what? I had to rewind that part several times
@@filadog don’t they have evidence for particles breaking charge parity and time symmetry?
Yeah weak force breaks all three symmetries. Parity sym. Broke found in 1976 n got noble prize in colorado by pr. Wu zhang. Couple of years later charge n noble prize. Last decade time broke found. This is only for WEAK FORCE 3rd of standard model universe
@@gaggudhillon1535 Nothing breaks CPT all at once though.
He talked about string theory. At this time there was the hope that the lhc would be able to confirm predictions made by string theory ... but what they found was nothing. String theory is dead.
This makes me feel like a kid again. I'm glad they're doing this - even though the "Higgs Field" is something old in our minds, thinking about it in relation to the atom is fascinating. Further research could have tremendous impacts.
The EU should give its Nobel Prize to CERN.
Why are some particles impede by the Higgs field more, some less and some not?
This channel drives on nuts, because You always leave out the interesting questions!
Wow! You went to CERN. U da man! (this video is 5 year old, vintage, hasn't dated, great work!)
It's actually 7 years old m8
So much awesome
4:01 When a German gets mad
Oof
hahahahahah that got a big laugh out of me
Wow, sooo underrated comment
i remember writing middle school papers on this particle cus i was so facinated with it. sadly i have lost some interest in studying the higgs boson but i still think its really cool.
High energy particles are often unstable. Decay times are variable depending on the decay mode of the Higgs particle, and it can be calculated. Typical decay modes used for the observation of the particle is H -> diphoton or Higgs -> 2 leptons (or was it lepton, antilepton..)
5:31 "jeah, mugabugabu".
Lmao 🤣👏🏽
But he actually said "yeah but with gamma-gamma"

What determines how much a particle reacts with the higgs field?
+Aman Vernekar Well... it's kind of paradoxical from my understanding. The mass defines how much it interacts but the Higgs field but the Higgs field gives it it's mass. But i'm certainly no expert.
+Aman Vernekar I'm also no expert but from what I understand, nothing really. Asking that question is analogous to asking why some particles interact with electromagnetism and some don't, or why are the fundamental forces as strong as they are and not stronger/weaker. It's just how the universe works, the intrinsic properties of the particles themselves. It's very likely that there is no true answer.
If string theory, or something similar, turns out to be true then that would answer your question, but you could then you could just ask why do strings have these properties? If you ask "why" forever, eventually you'll have to end at "because that's just how the universe works".
What was the music track you used at the very end of the video?
- -
I cannot tell you how excited I'd be if the non-standard Higgs is discovered in my lifetime. How monumental would that day be? The bit that really gets to me is the possibilities that it entails and new discoveries that would follow after that. An entirely new understanding of physics... Crazy, right?
- -
Gets me thinking every time.
good shit Derek. Well done mate
OK am I the only one that see the contradiction of what's being said here? Einsteins theory of relativity say mass gets heavier as it moves closer to the speed of light but the Higgs field theory says a particle can't become mass until it is slowed down? Doesn't make much sense
Actually mass is the other way around. The property of mass is basically the property an object has so that it cannot travel at the speed of light. And remember, Mass getting heavier at closer the speed of light still interacts with the Higgs field, so long that it doesn't travel at the speed of light. So, as long as an object is moving slower than light, no matter how close, the Higgs field is going to give it mass.
The Standard model only applies to macro space. Quantum Mechanics applies to particle sized systems. This is very important because it means thermodynamics only applies for things on the macro scale. There are may differently layers to physics. Physics is like an onion, where each layer has it's own rules.
All these talk about Higg's Boson, but not a mention of Satyandra Nath Bose, after whom 'boson' is named. Who along with Einstein formed Bose-Einstein statistics which governs how bosons work. He died without a Nobel too.
Makes me really sad.
Atandra Chakraborty yes me too
So that’s the person who discovered the Bose-Einstein Condensate?
Well, it'd have been nice to have mentioned his name, but it's not like JJ Thompson or Ernst Rutherford or any of the other past scientists got mentioned either.
They are talking about not just bosons, but the higgs boson. There is no reason to mention them
@Ritika Dubey The comment is senseless, but that's all. No need to do personal attacks.
This is where I'm going with my class in 2 years. I've been exited about this for 4 years already.
How did that go?
@@judeautheguy it was cancelled in favour of going to DASY due to reasons.
DESY was great, but CERN would have been super cool.
Thanks for checking in 3 years later! ❤️
You've come a long way
so the field the Higgs produces is what gives mass to the particles?
Crimson Steel Moon (The Wolf) Yes.
Ok thanks for clearing that up
Crimson Steel Moon (The Wolf) the higgs is the excitation in the field, it doesn't produce it but it proves it's existence
Ok , so what does give the mass to everyday particles?
Crimson Steel Moon (The Wolf) their interaction with the higgs field, i think that he has a video on the subject
so the protons are travelling at 0.0299792458 m/s slower than the speed of light.
as far as compared to us yes (as long as you did your math right i suppose) But with general relativity, only relative matters, similar as how absolute zero works, only 10mK is a lot different than 10nK even though there is very absolute difference in temperature
6:36, the guys speaking about science looks so in love with, it's true the purpose of science is to find answers but most of the times we find ourselves generating even more question, that is the most beautiful part.
One of my favourite things about Einstein's equations, is that you can passingly measure the mass of a particle in eV (or for that matter other units of energy).
That music at the end- wow! Wish someone could tell me the name of the piece :/

+Poseidon Gaming Yes, take your plagiarized humour and stick it up your ass.

Young veritasium looks a lot like Andrew Dotson
new things to come, very good
We would love an update to this.
You should make a new channel only for physics.
If I wanted to visit CERN could I just do that?
I think you'll need to have contact with someone, you can't just walk right in.
epicmario plush Just visit the website. They host single person or a group of people. You have to ask for an appointment on the calendar.
epicmario plush Just say you know Steve.
Tomer Malka Zaragosa?
I was gonna say Hawking, but sure..
I hope you do a follow up video to discuss what has been accomplished since then
This video opened with a commercial for City of Refuge church. Incredible music! I watched the whole 90 seconds.
I want to become scientist

Cern: Discovers Higgs Boson
Normally restrained particle physics community: YEAh bOi !!!
Shubham: Because they didn't have colliders that could push the photons at high enough speeds. If you smash 2 particles at a slow speed the outcome is much different than at high speeds, just like in any collision. To get the higgs to appear you have to break a photon at higher speed to get it to break into more and more tiny pieces then analyze all those pieces and measure their energy states. A lot of this is up to chance so you don't always get a Higgs, so they do this over and over again to get statistically significant results. (for some reason I couldn't reply directly to your comment.)
I agree. So many brilliant minds have passed before their genius has been validated. Kind of make you think though: Are we increasing the rate at which we progress, and will this caliber of discovery become more frequent? I hope so, and am glad Peter is around to witness this new era of particle physics.
HEYHEYHEYHEY!
What happens when you smash two eggs together?
You make an EGGS BOSON! LAAAAAWWWWWLLLLL!

Thanks youtube algorithm.. I guess?
We need an update video on the LHC
They accelerated the protons to roughly 80% of the speed of light. This video explains a lot though and is really good :)
sorry i had to
4:03 NEIN!
A historic. Not an historic.
In word format, yes, however in speaking, no.
Because in English people shorten words all the time (can not, can't | would not, wouldn't), and thats what's happening.
If you say the H, it would 'A historic'
If you don't say the H, it would be 'An 'istoric'
(Istoric may sound weird but Anistoric starts to make sense if you flow correctly)
In some dialects of English, the 'h' in history is silent; thus, "an historic."
yup, if you say it with a silent H then it's "An Historic," but if you say it with a vocalized H it should be "A Historic"
Spidz The problem is he pronounced the h and still said _an_
hey, I'm curious why you said the mass as electron volts? I always assumed that eV's
were a measure of energy.
The joy of discovery & the vistas of knowledge that it opens up? Worth a laugh, wouldn't you say?

99.9999999% c is infinitely smaller than c in terms of relativity
Ya but that's like saying you infinitely shorter than me or infinitely older than me
+nathan smith rly nice example
+Nathan Smith Nope its not. You have to think of Speed in terms of the Energy you need to put into an object to get it to that Speed.
And to get an Object from 0 to 99.999...%*c you need an finite amount of energy, but getting it to 1c, you need an infinte amount of Energy. So for me, 99.999999....%*c is much closer to 0*c than to 1*c
What are you talking about? What gave you the impression that you need "infinite" energy to accelerate an object to light speed? C does not equal infinity...
+Scott Baromski Einstein tells you that you need infinite Energy to "reach" c with everything that got an nonzero mass. And if you think of speed as Rapidity (ask Wikipedia for that) c is indeed Infinity.
Its videos like this that are the reason why i'm subscribed to veratasium
Light indeed is affected by gravity, this can be seen in gravitational lensing, for example. Also light does have relativistic mass (which is equivalent to energy), but not rest mass, which is something acquired by interactions with the higgs field.
My belief is that atoms and subatomic particles are just another universe, and each particle is a separate universe and there's just an infinite amount of particles. And our universe and our solar system are just a larger version of that, and we're just a small piece of something bigger.
I may or may not be high right now.
There is evidence to suggest that the universe is a hologram.
A hologram is made up of the same picture repeating its self. Like a fractal, you keep zooming in and eventually you get the same picture you started with, the same happens when zooming out.
An eternally repeating pattern.
+Willie Wilson Pretty sure that's not at all what they mean when they try and translate their mathematical ideas into layman's terms. What they mean is that the information of the 3d universe may be contained in 2d.
+Michael McDonough Like the 4th dimension, right? From that point of view 3d looks flat, even time itself.
And I thougt I was the only one........
+Adi Bejleri ikr
Of course it won't be the Standard Model Higgs. That would not serve the purpose keeping the funding rolling.
You realize their funding doesn't affect their findings right? Like, they're not just about to screw with the data to make things weird enough to keep getting money.
You just blindly believe anything your told? I'd rather trust in the scientific method. These people are not different from any other. They are looking out for their own self interests. I don't look at the world through a straw.
Your argument using street language is very impressive. I've proven your side of the argument beyond rational dispute. My you are compelling. I must go back to the ally and study more graffiti so I can keep up.
J Parril My your an impressive debater. I'm you're at the top of your class.
RadicalRC Using youtube to degrade those who cannot articulate well... Sounds like someone needs some therapy. Anyway, funding for the hadron collider is specifically to the collider. These physicists would be paid just as much, if not more, to go work for some government organization. Additionally, they know that being dishonest about their data will ruin the reputation of the entire project, which in turn ruins their own. Next time you're feeling bad about yourself, try to cope with it some way that isn't making kids on the internet feel bad about themselves.
So, lets figure out how far this will go with this youtube recommendation chain. I was impressed by the fact that seemingly there was 25k people who came from scythe lady video to the scythe festival one. From now on i am going to watch next 100 videos with this comment numerating my path.

Thank you for the explanation. That makes sense. I was not thinking in that way. I was merely thinking about the electro-magnetic force binding them together. :-)
So when these beams smash, and particles contact one another, does it make a sound? 🤔
My father said scientists found the God particle, so even science now admits that God exists(with a victorious smile), I tried very hard not to laugh, but failed, miserably..... Then of course I explained what it actually is.!
+Debopam Seal I really wish nobody had ever given it that label. Most (not all) of the religious people I know are very anti-science for whatever reason. At least now that it's been a while, the "Haha science! Now you've proven God exists!" blogs and articles seem to have gone away. The funny thing is, if science was able to somehow definitively prove that a god exists, it would be celebrated by them. I'm sure a lot of people would be personally shaken by it, but over time and with repeated empirical confirmation, it would be accepted. It seems like a lot of religious people think science is all about disproving the existence of their god, when in fact it's a search for understanding of everything. If any gods do exist, then they would be part of that everything which science strives to understand.
+Phil Ferrara adding onto that, I don't see God (I'm an atheist, mind) as a being. I see God more as a force. I don't believe that there was something that created the universe, because the universe can't be created. It created itself and expands its volume infinitely. I think that the universe created God, if there is one. I see it as God is actually an existing force, not a being. A force called, well gravity. Something that moulds stars and planets, moves mountains and oceans. Gravity is something that no one to this day understands still. I see the stories of God and Religion fitting that model perfectly, however the stories of the Bible and such? Historically proven to be... Well wrong.
Sorry. Not trying to start a flame war, just placing my opinion here for all to see.
+Dream out Loud so god is spacetime?
I hope you're joking
+DunderHumorFan Yes, if you see what i said as that interpretation. It's only a theory I have that can be accepted by both religion and science I guess.
sounds like a terrible waste of money
Sounds like a step closer to the future of science and the understanding of the universe
so all that money and energy to detect one particle... there is no 4th dimension of space
Ok mr einstein. You have the proofs and knowledge to conclude that there is no 4rth spacial dimension... Peace put
well Einstein made that space-time dimension up, you see. ever just step back and think maybe that he was wrong about that?
nikola tesla thought Einstein was wrong
WOuldnt the higgs boson field and the gluon field interact in some way?
Also so the conclusion is that the higgs bossom field is the barrier to break the speed of light?
When protons smash together a mess of new particles are created LOL I love that there technical talk
I would like lots more videos about this, :)
Impossible to miss the infamous John Ellis at 0:47 with his crazy white hair and beard. Though I was a little surprised to see him in this video, I'm not surprised he made an appearance.
its a shame something like this dos not have millions of views
If particles are not actually solid, but rather a form of energy or vibration in an infinite field, could it be that actually this vibration gives electrical charge and mass to the particle, similar to how a moving magnet inside a metal tube is slowed down and creates an electrical current?
I've learned more from this video than I have from all of public school
Do all protons have the same particle composition? What does having a larger loop for the protons to travel get you? Is the extra space for the detectors, or is the extra length necessary for acceleration or is it some other factor?
pretty sure its acceleration only
the trouble is if they go this fast you´ll have a hard time accelerating them on a curved line
also you can decouple x-ray that is insanely collimated - but thats really just a by-product of accelerated charge:
synchrotron-radiation
How do you always get to these awesome places?
cannot hear large hadron collider without thinking of the telegraph article that called it he large hardon collider.
