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!
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.
As a physics grad student in Chicago, this is the exact thing I do every now and then at Argonne national Lab. I'm really happy to see you showing how science is done on the everyday level
This is why I love physics: it may take an extraordinarily complicated setup, but ultimately, physicists will be able to measure the exact position of a SINGLE molecule. The cleverness of science knows no bounds.
Thank you Phil for leaving all that nonsense in the past and making more science videos. It was devastating when you deleted all your science videos, but it is good to see you talking about actual science again. Thank you.
Amazing video Brady... it's exactly the kind of thing I need to show my students what real experiments look like. You're doing invaluable work, big thanks to you and Phil and everyone involved in the sixty symbols project. I have no doubt that you are personally responsible for inspiring hundreds of young physicists to take up the cause!
That gadget just screams science. It's the most sciencey looking thing I can imagine. That buzzing noise is all the science inside, imprisoned like a genie by all that steel and glass and chrome. But Dr Moriarty knows how to make that genie give up its secrets.
I think it's very important to hear how excited this guy is, even compared to his usual videos. He is borderline manic! I bet the interviewer could easily sense this during the interview. Kids: if you the high of a lifetime, forget crack and smoke science.
Professor Moriarty, I know we had our differences, but I want you to know I felt a loss when you quit youtube. Good to know you're still on this channel.
So much high tech of which I can't even imagine where to begin to comprehend. And then a boxsign lit, stating: 'Beam on', as if it's the most important thing to look for in the whole of this set-up. Does anyone else find that extremely funny, or is it just me?
Brady, have you ever done a video covering who makes all this wonderful, bespoke experiment equipment and how they design and make it? When I see all the chambers, tubes, windows, and pipes, I get curious to know about the making of the tools.
Well, I was considering a dislike because of the hectic professor, the hectic cam moves, the hectic cuts and the hectic animations. Then I set the speed down to .75x and the video became bearable.
"If you change the energy of the incoming beam, you can tune the maxima and minima" That spoils the Bragg condition though. Are you simultaneously adjusting the angle of incidence?
Love this guy, glad he's back! this was a really cool video for someone starting college as a physics major, and I would love to see more stuff like it in the future.
Brady, if I may be so familiar, the content of these videos have been getting better and better recently, and this is just another level of awesome. Thanks so much!
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.
this is fantastic! so much of experiments has been shrouded in question marks or what not. he actually took us right through it. you guys are fantastic. when i eventually take over the world you guys will get infinite pudding.
for anyone confused by the dislikes, professor moriarty was targeted by a popular mra youtuber, so now some of said youtuber's fans are harassing him and downvoting whatever he's in regardless of what it's about. because of course they are.
This has been extremely interesting. You should do more videos where we get to see the surroundings and the explanation of actual experiments like these! (If opportunity presents itself that is). Thanks for the cool vid!
Since this experiment is about position of molecules, would Heisenberg's uncertainty principle apply? Or are molecules still macroscopic enough to be certain about both their position and speed?
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.
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)?
I think the molecule is too big, the uncertanty only affects sub atomic particles not whole molecules. But thats just a guess, I am no particle physicist
"The Syncatron is about 10 bilion times brighter then the sun. So, this is an immense engineering challange with very, VERY, clever peopole doing this work." Nuff said...
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!
Many of us PROFOUNDLY disagree about your stances on social justice Dr M. But man I JUST LOVE your science videos :D The passion and interest in doing the work and teaching us physics noobs just comes through. Please have more in the future! To disagree with a person in one area cannot and should not equal demonizing them as people.
I am amazed you guys were in the hutch with the door closed like it was no big deal! Was it because you had the reaction chamber in there, so it was pretty well shielded?
Exactly as entertaining as any 12 minutes from the Primus show I saw at Stubb's in Austin. Is Rock-n-roll domain independent? Grabbing a can of Pork Soda to think about it...
extra footage from the day... ruclips.net/video/Mfy-7Jpql7c/видео.html
follow up - what happened next... ruclips.net/video/FVe3Ga0D4N4/видео.html
Sixty Symbols So fun to listen to Professor M. He gets so excited while explaining every thing. Thanks guys for sharing so much interesting info.
Don't feed the trolls.
I'm doing a PhD down at Southampton at the moment. Curious to know whose group is doing this molecular surgery for you!
Trolls should be curbstomped, not fed.
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.
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.

3:47 The most delicate and precise scientific machinery cooled by a desk fan.
Puting a crystal into a beam, isn't that pretty much how Half-life started?
gummihu
HL3 confirmed
They're waiting for you, Phil. In the test chamberrrr...
Just don"t start a resonance cascade.
Just hand a crowbar to each scientist involved as a precaution.
So in HL3 you play as Phil Moriarty trying to escape the Diamond Light Source?
This video justifies youtube's existence
As a physics grad student in Chicago, this is the exact thing I do every now and then at Argonne national Lab. I'm really happy to see you showing how science is done on the everyday level
I helped design and manufacture the 'front end' on that very beam line, I09. Glad to see it's going strong and being put to good use.
Love you guys keep up the awesome work
thank you
Hey, thanks for bringing Phil back. He's my favorite professor in these videos.
Mine too!
11:31 Phil doing some fine rapping
Daan87423 LOL
Didn't notice that haha. Someone needs to dub that over a beat :D
This is why I love physics: it may take an extraordinarily complicated setup, but ultimately, physicists will be able to measure the exact position of a SINGLE molecule. The cleverness of science knows no bounds.
How many coffees did Phil have prior to shooting the video?
Anyways, it's fascinating science. Looking forwards to the follow-up!
He doesn't mind the odd coffee! ;)
Great video so far, love this channel :D
+AstroFocus nice channel
??
Sixty Sybols with Moriarty is always a pleasure to watch.
The person who built this entire synchrotron is the one who has to be applauded👏👏👏
Great video, extremely interesting. Professor Moriarty is the best! A video on the molecular surgery he mentioned would be amazing! Thanks
I couldn't agree more. That would be fascinating to see how that actually works.
Thank you Phil for leaving all that nonsense in the past and making more science videos. It was devastating when you deleted all your science videos, but it is good to see you talking about actual science again. Thank you.
This is the best sixty symbols video yet! Can't wait to find out what they find. Freaking amazing
Amazing video Brady... it's exactly the kind of thing I need to show my students what real experiments look like. You're doing invaluable work, big thanks to you and Phil and everyone involved in the sixty symbols project. I have no doubt that you are personally responsible for inspiring hundreds of young physicists to take up the cause!
This is truly mind-blowing. What humans and science can achieve is incredible.
Its been while since Sixty Symbols came out with a video with Phil Moriarty. Rock on!
That gadget just screams science. It's the most sciencey looking thing I can imagine. That buzzing noise is all the science inside, imprisoned like a genie by all that steel and glass and chrome. But Dr Moriarty knows how to make that genie give up its secrets.

Professor Moriarty, I know we had our differences, but I want you to know I felt a loss when you quit youtube. Good to know you're still on this channel.
And on top of how awesome this video is anyway, he's wearing a Primus shirt.
Loving the enthusiasm and complexity. Great video.
cheers for watching
3:46 multimillion dollar experimental set up, kept from overheating by a $15 desk fan. You go, tiny desk fan. You're the true hero.
You are wearing a Primus shirt. That's why I love scientists. Crazy!!
Glad to see Philip Moriarty coming back!
One of the best episodes yet. Among the more technical/experimental, but loved it.
Seein Prof. Moriarty in a Primus shirt makes my day.
It's dr. Moriarty, one of my favourites!
So much high tech of which I can't even imagine where to begin to comprehend. And then a boxsign lit, stating: 'Beam on', as if it's the most important thing to look for in the whole of this set-up. Does anyone else find that extremely funny, or is it just me?
Brady, have you ever done a video covering who makes all this wonderful, bespoke experiment equipment and how they design and make it? When I see all the chambers, tubes, windows, and pipes, I get curious to know about the making of the tools.
Glad to see you are doing something useful Phil.
"Yellow everybody this is Purge" t-shirt spotted at 11:11. This is one hardcore dota 2 fan right there :D
I really don't get the dislikes. This video was supercool!
People dislike Phil. Apparently his students.
Some people don't like Phil because he stood up to a juvenile crowd.
Nice manipulation of the truth.
Well, I was considering a dislike because of the hectic professor, the hectic cam moves, the hectic cuts and the hectic animations. Then I set the speed down to .75x and the video became bearable.
J Zepher what did he do?
Very cool. I love learning about particle physics, especially when highly engineered machines are involved.
Damn, I really missed getting new videos with Phil Moriarty!
"If you change the energy of the incoming beam, you can tune the maxima and minima"
That spoils the Bragg condition though. Are you simultaneously adjusting the angle of incidence?
Finally Phil! i wish he appeared in all videos.
I had to take a long pause after the "molecular surgery" diagram. It's just amazing what we can do at that scale.
Yay, Prof. Moriarty is back!!! Glad to see you back. Also great video, I'm a young physics major so this is right up my alley.
Love this guy, glad he's back! this was a really cool video for someone starting college as a physics major, and I would love to see more stuff like it in the future.
Yay Phillip! Great to have you back ^.^
Brady, if I may be so familiar, the content of these videos have been getting better and better recently, and this is just another level of awesome. Thanks so much!

I am doing work experience there in three weeks!
Tell Phil he's an idiot
Easy there fatboy.
Professor Moriarty explains really well!
What an inspiration!
for anyone confused by the dislikes, professor moriarty was targeted by a popular mra youtuber, so now some of said youtuber's fans are harassing him and downvoting whatever he's in regardless of what it's about. because of course they are.
Im currently interning at Advanced Photon Source which is very similar to this facility. Thanks for sharing.
You lost me at surgery on a bucky ball. That is next level genius, great vid.
he's so passionate about this he keeps talking and has to grasp for air
More videos like this please.
We'll try!
Sixty Symbols No thanks. Rather not see Moriarty's face ever again. The dude is a dangerous lunatic.
Dalroc I disagree with him politically, but I love him in these videos. It's not like he's pushing an agenda on this channel. Get over it.
After minute 7 this dude got so excited that I could barely make out what the hell he was talking about.
that method of molecular deposition is exactly what I did for my BSc dissertation!
"Grab yourself a can of pork soda
And you'll be feeling just fiine"
Love your PRIMUS shirt! (I'll admit, i have the exact same one :)
I'm a simple man. I see a Primus tshirt, I upvote.
3:45 is that an ordinary house fan cooling your very expansive machine? >.>
Hooray, the not-so-evil Professor Moriarty is back \o/
This has been extremely interesting. You should do more videos where we get to see the surroundings and the explanation of actual experiments like these! (If opportunity presents itself that is).
Thanks for the cool vid!
I would very much like to know what is the difference between this device and a Free-Electron Laser
I don't quite understand the "Why?" of this experiment, but I'm excited :D
I would like to see a video about how they got that water molecule in there.
When you say "very, very, very close to the speed of light", how close are we talking?
I like the $20 fan on top of all that expensive equipment at 3:47
Since this experiment is about position of molecules, would Heisenberg's uncertainty principle apply? Or are molecules still macroscopic enough to be certain about both their position and speed?
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.
ok, now i need you to make a video about Molecular Surgery. i had no clue we are able to do this. gogo brady.
3:46 Love the high tech cooling solution you've got there.
What an absolutely fascinating video!
How is the watermolecule so big compared to the C60-molecule?
i think it isn't represented chemically accurate in the animation. it's just to explain the idea of the experiment.
Question. How do you know how many electrons are running around if the electron has never been observed in science?
Of course there's a £20 oscillating fan pointed at the giant science apparatus. Walmart/Asda: you can't quite pull off Big Science without us!™
nice fan placement on vacuum chamber, add that extra coolant factor
Scientists: "we have this cage-shaped molecule, what can we do with it?"
Other scientists: "let's imprison other molecules inside it!"
3:28 Holy hell man. Some people are sitting down and designing these big complex systems for experiments.
Shouldn't the uncertainty of the momentum be off the charts if you triangulate the water molecule inside such a tiny space?
i dont think they really care about the momentum, just about where the water molecule is
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)?
I'm guessing that just because there is a high uncertainty in momentum, that doesn't mean there has to be a large momentum
I think the molecule is too big, the uncertanty only affects sub atomic particles not whole molecules. But thats just a guess, I am no particle physicist
I haven't seen a Primus T-shirt in a loooong time.
there's a reason for that.
Thumbs up for Primus
Glad to see Phil is back! I thought we'd never see him again after he deleted his channel.
Andrew anon why'd he do that?
Myles Bishop Nasty people hated him for his politics.
Myles Bishop His family was threatened by free speech loving "sceptics" who couldn't stand that he had a different opinion to them
Ollie Barnes he's proof you can't keep a good man down.
Did they actually physically attack him? I understood it was a tidal wave of shitheads talking smack online. Bad enough I suppose.

I MISSED PHIL.
This guy has calculated the EXACT dimensions of Wynona's big brown beaver.
I have almost no idea what's being said, but it sure is interesting. I actually do want to see how this experiment goes.
Many of us PROFOUNDLY disagree about your stances on social justice Dr M.
But man I JUST LOVE your science videos :D The passion and interest in doing the work and teaching us physics noobs just comes through. Please have more in the future!
To disagree with a person in one area cannot and should not equal demonizing them as people.
^ Here you go, someone who doesn't want to engage in a civil, well-mannered discussion and immediately resorts to name-calling.
How can anyone disagree with justice? That seems vile.
Culwin That's a textbook strawman you made there.
+culwin
because social justice = lynch mob justice and group justice
+Daniel Chong have Dr. Moriarty's detractors offered up reasoned, coherent opinions? I have yet to hear any.
This is my fav professor
I am amazed you guys were in the hutch with the door closed like it was no big deal! Was it because you had the reaction chamber in there, so it was pretty well shielded?
Missed Professor Moriarty
Prof Phil rockin' them Primus shirt
\m/
Exactly as entertaining as any 12 minutes from the Primus show I saw at Stubb's in Austin.
Is Rock-n-roll domain independent? Grabbing a can of Pork Soda to think about it...
This dude always has the best band shirts
wow that was absolutely amazing!
How can you have Diamond Lights without Glenn Hoddle and Chris Waddle?
Did not think I could love this guy more, then I see his Primus shirt.
doesnt the h2o molecule just has 18 electrons? so when it emits electrons, the experiment would be over really quickly, right?
18? i think you are thinking abouts its mass. it has 10 electrons.
one of my favourite sixty symbols video ever:)
the description has "thanks" spelled wrong
