    I love the musical instrument analogy that was used. because it happens, and for no apparent reason.

My friends called it proof of magic, I called it the interconnectedness of all things. Much like the "Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul". My understanding is that this is why you can know how a friend is feeling, even when they are miles away. It's not magic, it's just fact that most of us don't understand yet!

  • @axel3264
    @axel3264 4 года назад +38

    I see a lot of comments wondering about why we use the elevators instead of stairs in-case of emergencies. Reason is that the experiments are 100m underground, and climbing the stairs up for 100m is demanding even for a fit person. Therefore the lifts (and lift entrances) are positively pressurized and powered by a separated power system with multiple backups to ensure function and safety even in the most extreme emergencies. Also the lifts are specially made for CERN and ensured to function even under strong magnetic fields that are present when the detectors are "switched on".

    Quantum field theory makes particle-wave duality feel so intuitive. I hope there will come a day where high school STEM teachers stop drawing little orbiting balls. I think for a lot of children QFT is actually easier to understand (the concept, not the math). Quantum mechanics sounds very scary, but I think the elegance of it makes it easier to understand than all these outdated analogies, even for young children.

      Quantum field theory is quantum mechanics. You still will have to explain probability and measurement in QFT which are the big leaps one has to wrap ones head around in QM. Also I think saying "a particle is a wave function" vs "a particle is a field" are nearly equivalent to someone who hasn't been exposed to either.

The "planetarium model" of an atom made me so confused about chemistry and molecular bonds as a teenager, until a physics teacher said: "check out this stuff about probability clouds". Of course it's not about completely understanding QM, but I think we could teach kids more intuitive models if we base the analogies on QFT instead of orbiting billiard balls.

      I don't know much about family names, genealogy and such, but I have definitely noticed that our name is *WAY* more common in the UK than elsewhere. What little I've read, I will share: The sirname "sizer" appears to have originated with either tradesman who "sized" land (i.e., surveyors) or tradesmen who "sized" cloth. The latter is more intriguing to me, since (at least) three generations of my family worked in the same textile mill (including my brother and myself). Also, our clan traces its ancestry back to a John Sizer who immigrated from England in the 1700s, married an Irish woman and fought in the American Revolution.

    Yes, it's nice how the wave/particle dualism translates mathematically. You get a glimpse of why a particle can be interpreted as a point in spacetime and as field or wave stretching into infinity when you learn about the Dirac delta function and the Fourier transform. It's a lot of steps into further details to get to field excitations representing particles.

    What makes a lot of sense to me is that the Large hadron collider ring has a phenomenally large magnet system that runs independently of the particle beam. The impact these magnets possess is phenomenal. Theyre responsible for the generation of additional magnetosphere geometry which has only become visible in the last decade or so since the LHC has run. Beam dump operations cause magmalayer disturbances here on the planet as well as evoke coronal mass ejections on the Sun. You can dance around observational science all you want and try and explain how physicist use these particles which honestly aren't even necessary to make this machine do what it's designed to do which is protect this planet during the pole shift and crossing.
