    It's weird that you would be able to lock yourself in this room. Seems like a safety issue, or a possible way to create Dr. Manhattan.

    • @Mezmorizorz
      @Mezmorizorz 7 лет назад +1

      It works both ways. You can lock yourself in on accident, but you also can't accidentally go in when in the experiment is live, and the latter is much more likely to happen.

    Doing my Master's thesis in X-Ray crystallography - I work at the SLS, which is a particle accelerator a lot like this.
    This kind of science is very interdisciplinary - I am from a Biological background, but this kind of research has applications from Physics over Materials Engineering to Chemistry and structural Biology. Great stuff, lots of fun. If anyone is in life sciences and has some understanding of computing, this is the field to get into!

    @StreuB1 7 лет назад +10

    They do this same type of research at the APS (Advanced Photon Source) at Argonne National Laboratory here in Illinois. I have privately toured the APS along with being inside the synchrotron, the electron gun, linac and the hutches as well as on top of the beamline where the RF waveguides are that accelerate the electron beam. Its so amazing what is being done with high energy photon sources.

  • @NickRoman
    @NickRoman 6 лет назад

    Thank you. It's great to see some of the actual work once in a while that physicists engage in. Looks pretty cool. I think that is what I wanted to do at one time. This is so deep though, it's hard to understand what one would even do with that result. And, it's amazing to think of all the work that goes into finding the answer to this one question, one of infinite such questions. I think it would take more like a few weeks at least to really get a feel for the work they do rather than 12 minutes.

      @AlexKnauth 7 лет назад +2

      Since they'll probably be measuring it statistically, they'll be measuring the probability distribution, to see whether it's most likely to be in the center or most likely to be somewhere else because of interaction with the surface.

    Shouldn't the uncertainty of the momentum be off the charts if you triangulate the water molecule inside such a tiny space?

    • @taitywaity1836
      @taitywaity1836 7 лет назад

      i dont think they really care about the momentum, just about where the water molecule is

    • @voom6996
      @voom6996 7 лет назад

      Yeah, but that would mean the momentum could be any value so there is no chance for the water molecule still being around the same position they measured it at first, it would jiggle all around so to speak, wouldnt it? Is the information you get from the triangulation still usefull then (for determining an average position or something)?

    • @taitywaity1836
      @taitywaity1836 7 лет назад +2

      I'm guessing that just because there is a high uncertainty in momentum, that doesn't mean there has to be a large momentum

    Please, more videos like this, Brady! I can certainly appreciate why it's often important to explain what science does in simple terms that everybody can understand, but I feel that sometimes it can let the public forget what it takes to come up with new theories (which makes them that much easier to ignore) and technologies (or be taken for granted). Now and then, it's also important to give a glimpse into the nitty gritty of it too :) I bet there are ton of kids this will inspire: look at all this scifi stuff actual scientists get to do!
