I suspect that in his mind, it might have been the most realistic answer he could give. It could well be how long it would take the section out for if they actually had to replace one of the superconducting wires he's talking about (by the time they warm things up, replace it, cool it down, re-test, etc). I seem to recall every minor issue delayed the project by months while they were trying to run their first experiments.
It could've been. The kind of equipment they have to work with there is custom made with rediculously tight specifications. Not to mention order approvals take long when 2 managers have to agree on them, let alone the 23 member states that are involved with the project today :p

Even before tapping the video, I knew it was a lie. Regardless of whether food is _allowed_ near the tunnel or not (it definitely is not), Brian would _never_ be that reckless.
I think Lee is actually smarter. He plays a fool, but he’s incredibly smart, it’s why he’s so witty. Victoria described him as one of the smartest men on TV, but “god he hides it well”, and Stephen Fry used to get extremely frustrated because Lee was demonstrably extremely intelligent, but pretended he wasn’t, which is a pet peeve of Stephen.
why? yes, it's not an 1/8 of 27km he mentioned later, but it might have been the section he was working on. I think the 3 months were a bit far-fetched (there certainly might be cases where a certain part would take that long to replace, but if it was a lie and he wanted to fool the laymen from the other team, perhaps some 2 days, or a week max would have been safer choice)
I work at a major particle accelerator, and could tell it was a lie from a mile off. There's no way they would let anyone anywhere near the machine while it's on, let alone with food. The technical details were pretty on point, though. Naturally, he was trying to obfuscate the lie with real knowledge of the accelerator.

It’s ‘will’. But the last vowel is much shorter than the one in ‘tea’. More like the last vowel in ‘heavy’ or ‘busy’. So basically… wilty is pronounced as written.
So, in layman's terms, is it a wire? 😂...
I'm not saying it's not a brilliant wire. 😂😂
When Brian was asked "What flavor was the yoghurt", I hoped he would answer ""Charm"
"It was actually quite strange"
I was hoping, "One of those corner Müller ones."
@@statman64 Is Brian really the type to eat raw strange matter just to flex on the corporeals? Seems more a Neil thing.
He dropped yoghurt on the collider? How Dairy!
😂
Had Ron not bumped into him with the bike this never would have happened!

Brilliant funny comment .
Lol! Well done, good sir... Now, show yourself out.
To think that we could've been in the yoghurt timeline...
😂😂😂
Hilarious, but also could terrifyingly be true

Spilling quark in the Large Hadron Collider is hardly going to damage it. That is what it is for!

I dont get it, how does quark related to yogurt?

The is one of the best episodes ever, between this and accidentally buying a horse!

The buying a horse bit is not funny and so many people keep quoting it that I now am blocking everyone that quotes that stupid segment. See ya.

The 3 months really made it sound unbelievable.

@@msmyrk True. 3 months would be realistic, but he forgot that for the general public that real answer would sound unbelievable :)
Interesting! That's what I found the most convincing. The part I didn't believe is that food would be allowed anywhere in the construction zone.

Yeah we watched the same video funnily enough
I saw this one before and was sure that I rememberd the outcome correctly. Turns out I must have gotten my wires crossed!
Bloody good wires though.
For a lie, this one was so good, and entertaining❣️
I don’t know about anyone else but I was captivated when he was speaking!
If he'd be able to get yogurt inside the building, much less inside the functional part of the machine... That'd be majorly conCERNing.

3 months was too much professor...if he'd say 1 week for example I would totally believe it!
It was going so well until the part where he made himself out to be a mad scientist in an 80s sci fi movie 😂
“Science is great, but this thing needs some culture.”
Even before tapping the video, I knew it was a lie. Regardless of whether food is _allowed_ near the tunnel or not (it definitely is not), Brian would _never_ be that reckless.
That was a superb lie... I can usually tell but he is indeed a good liar
I knew it was a lie. Scientists don’t do that and David was right if it was true he’d be so damaged he wouldn’t talk about it
I so badly wanted that to be true 😂😂
For the first time, David was not the smartest man in the room 😅

I knew it was a lie when he said 4 months. If that were true, that news would have defenitely come up in some of my insta or RUclips tweets 😅
Same. I would know very well if the LHC was decomissioned by yoghurt :P
Absolute cobblers! 🤣

The "420 meters" gave it away right at the beginning. He was playing them so well they didn't even notice XD

If thats not why they kicked him out, I wonder what he really did?
Just because you find someone more interesting doesn't mean they are smarter

That still leaves the question of why Brian is doing these shows.
Because of what he did to Jodrell Bank with the cottage cheese.
Money.
Why does the question need answering?
Fun?
he probably likes it
Can’t what to see prof cox live next month.
How is Wilty being pronounced? Will-tea or while-tea?
It’s ‘will’.
But the last vowel is much shorter than the one in ‘tea’. More like the last vowel in ‘heavy’ or ‘busy’.
