why this stuff costs 2700 trillion per gram
Bookmarked 331 weeks ago physics girl is on patreon https:wwwpatreoncomphysicsgirl theres a factory in europe that makes antimatter its the rarest most expensive and potentially the most dangerous material on earth scientists dont know why this material is so rare anti-atoms took 72 years after we discovered antimatter to make whythanks to cern elise wursten loc bommersbach and sarah charleyhttp:physicsgirlorg http:twittercomthephysicsgirlhttp:facebookcomthephysicsgirlhttp:instagramcomthephysicsgirlcreatorhost: dianna cowern editor: levi butner research amp writing: dianna amp imogen ashfordsources:current estimate of antimatter courtesy of elise : stefan ulmer made a back-of-the-envelope calculation based on energy and power consumption the explanation goes as follows: 1 cern produces 3e7 antiprotons per ad cycle or about 1e15 per year2 this is about 1e15167e-27kg = 167 nanogram per year3 1 gram of antiprotons has an energy e=mc2 of 9e13 |

bbc horizon 2012 the hunt for higgs 720p
Bookmarked 725 weeks ago horizon goes behind the scenes at cern to follow one of the most epic and expensive scientific quests of all time: the search for the higgs particle believed to give mass to everything in our universehowever the hunt for higgs is part of a much grander search for how the universe works it promises to help answer questions like why we exist and is a vital part of a grand unified theory of nature at the heart of the pursuit of the elusive particle is the same feature that makes snowflakes beautiful and human faces attractive: the simple and enchanting idea of symmetry |

inside story - is the search over for higgs boson
Bookmarked 715 weeks ago for decades scientists have searched for an elusive particle something that would help explain how the universe began and how it carries onthe main development is that scientists working at the cern facility in switzerland say they have now discovered evidence of this new subatomic particle which is sometimes called the 039god particle039it took scientists more than 15 years to build a massive detector underground which captures images of what happens when protons collidethey have found proof of the existence of what looks like the higgs boson: a crucial particle which helps explain how the universe came to be -- and therefore the stars planets and human life |

cern 039higgs boson039 announcement: we have observed a new particle
Bookmarked 716 weeks ago in the video dated july 4 2012 joe incandela a spokesman for cern announces that scientists quothave observed a new particlequotquotwe have quite strong evidence that there039s something there its properties are still going to take us a little bit of timequotbut we can see that it decays to two photons for example which tells us it039s a boson it039s a particle with integer spin and we know its mass is roughly 100 times the mass of the proton and this is very significant this is the most massive such particle that exists if we confirm all of this which i think we willquot mr incandela the cms spokesperson saysquotand this is very very significant it039s something that may in the end be one of the biggest observations of any new new phenomena in our field in the last 30 or 40 years going way back to the discovery of quarks for examplequot he addsthe origin of mass has been fiercely debated for decadescredit to the uk telegraph for the amazing video |

the largest black holes in the universe
Bookmarked 719 weeks ago watch commercial free on the spacerip app available on the apple and google play stores how big can they get what039s the largest so far detected where does an 18 billion solar mass black hole hidewe039ve never seen them directly yet we know they are there lurking within dense star clusters or wandering the dust lanes of the galaxy where they prey on stars or swallow planets wholeour milky way may harbor millions of these black holes the ultra dense remnants of dead starsbut now in the universe far beyond our galaxy there039s evidence of something even more ominous a breed of black holes that have reached incomprehensible size and destructive powerit has taken a new era in astronomy to find them high-tech instruments in space tuned to sense high-energy forms of light -- x-rays and gamma rays -- that are invisible to our eyes new precision telescopes equipped with technologies that allow them to cancel out the blurring effects of the atmosphereand see to the far reaches of the universepeering into distant galaxies astronomers are now finding evidence that space and time can be shattered by eruptions so vast they boggle the mindwe are just beginning to understand the impact these outbursts have had on the universe around usthat understanding recently took a leap forward a team operating at the subaru observatory atop hawaii039s mauna kea volcano looked out to one of the deepest reaches of the universe and captured a beam of light that had taken nearly 13 billion years to reach usit was a messenger from a time not long after the universe was born they focused on an object known as a quasar short for quotquasi-stellar radio sourcequotit offered a stunning surprisea tiny region in its center is so bright that astronomers believe it039s light is coming from a single object at least a billion times the mass of our sun inside this brilliant beacon space suddenly turns dark as it039s literally swallowed by a giant black hole as strange as they may seem even huge black holes like these are thought to be products of the familiar universe of stars and gravity they get their start in rare types of large stars at least ten times the mass of our sun these giants burn hot and fast and die youngthe star is a cosmic pressure-cooker in its core the crush of gravity produces such intense heat that atoms are stripped and rearranged lighter elements like hydrogen and helium fuse together to form heavier ones like calcium oxygen silicon and finally iron when enough iron accumulates in the core of the star it begins to collapse under its own weight that can send a shock wave racing outward literally blowing the star apart:a supernova at the moment the star dies if enough matter falls into its core it collapses to a point forming a black holeintense gravitational forces surround that point with a dark sphere the event horizon beyond which nothing not even light can escape that039s how an average-size black hole formswhat about a monster the size of the subaru quasarrecent discoveries about the rapid rise of these giant black holes have led theorists to rethink their view of cosmic history |
