Quantum Fishing for the Higgs Boson
Hank talks to some VIPs from CERN about the question on everyone’s mind: does the Higgs Boson particle exist? And describes how CERN is going about finding the answer. Hank interviewed Sergio Bertolucci on October 11, 2011 and Rolf Heuer on October 25, 2011. In the time since then, CERN researchers have gotten some tantalizing clues, but the Higgs boson has yet to be found.

If at all possible, can someone briefly explain how the discovery of the higgs boson would help prove there are parallel universes. Brian Greene talks about how the LHC are smashing? particles and how if they can prove missing energy, this may prove that those energy jumped to another dimension. That’s interesting, but everytime I click on a higgs boson vid or article, nobody is talking about parallel worlds. Is string theory just hitching a ride on this experiment that has a different objective?
@shagster1970 dumass,? they just proved in fact that it DOES exist. know your facts before dissing theism.
0:50 … Did did he just make a My Little Pony reference?? Scishow just got 20% cooler.
Absence of proof does? not mean proof of absence.
@MrsMikeabbo I only know that they say they will know thus year,? either way. How they can know that definitively I am not sure, but its what they say.
@r77xxl The finding of the Higgs Boson doesnt prove god you wanker. I’d say the exact opposite – as? science provides a model that can make predictions – where as theists make up stories to scare the young and elderly.
u? suck
@shagster1970 I love the pseudo-intellectual douchebag drivel of the Internet Atheist activist. Maybe science can hypothesize why you have? no friends Mr. shagster1970. Hahaha Look at your username dude! You know little about theists and probably less about science.
Got? gravitons..?
@shagster1970 that is partly true, because from what I know as a former Christian, it went wrong when the Bible was translated, and the priests and pastors misinterpret it even more.? If you are currently atheist, tell me this: were you influenced to be atheist because of people around you or because religion has failed you?
Does anyone else think Rolf Heur does a REALLY? good Arnold Schwarzenegger impression?
I love how this just shows how far we are from knowing everything, there is still so much to discover!?
I? actually met Rolf Heuer in an MUN conference at CERN a few weeks ago
lol i want the academic journal article to have? “Derp” in the title. actually if you put that on all the papers that expain past errors it might be easier to learn the right things.
@EdwardMarshall1982 I am a scientist – Bachelor of Applied Science degree – Microbiology / Biochemistry major. What do I know about theists? -? that history is littered with your religions.
@r77xxl Religion has failed the masses that believe in it for one. My primary reason is that there is no need? to believe in stories until they can be proven. I watch tv for that.
@EdwardMarshall1982 One day u may think for yourself – in the? meantime Santa and the Easter Bunny are waiting for you. LOL
@shagster1970 Biochemistry? Did you ever learn what part of the pineal gland produces DMT? Or what role or function it plays? in the body or how it could be applied to survival? If God isn’t real why are we hard wired to have religious experiences? Why would our brain produce a hallucinagen when we would need proof to believe anything anyway?
@shagster1970 Hahaha. Go fuck yourself. You can’t have scientific proof for a supernatural being. You have? a bachelors and don’t know the definition of science. Go watch Tv more it really helps your logic.
@sniperslayer95 Everyone watching this (majorly) are nerds, geeks, dorks and the lot so i love this idea? but in reality apart from malfunctions of the machines themselves and blowing up; the most damage i believe you would truly suffer from is radiation poisoning.
Gravitons also haven’t? been observed. Just sayin.
changed perspective on physics or? religon?
Just saying
know what hasnt been found yet…? the? big bang…
his mouth is not moving to the words if you look very carefully.?
17 miles?did I here him? right???
