Great information, it does help a bit. You explain how/why the light is generated, but what is the significance of the different sizes? Is it because it allows you to see the reaction of the particle collision and in a sense the nickel sized ball of light is exhaust coming from a tail pipe - visible evidence of a scientific reaction?
Without going too far into the weeds. The light you refer too is the beam particles as they travel around the ring. The size is determined by the amount of power (loose term) applied or allowed to the beam. The more power, the smaller the light. None of these are an actual particle collision, they reflect a build up of power and mass to the point that the beam breaks down, becomes unstable and creates its own event.
So you can't come to much of a hypothesis as to what they may or may not have been discovered based on the light. Instead it serves as an indicator for how much power they are using on the specific test?
Well, in a way, I suppose you can think of it as such. The light is really more than an indicator of power. While the machine was built to crash particles together, as an unexpected result of almost tripling the power, they discovered that they can rip apart particles without collision. This is all new stuff. The theoretical physicists are all over the board as to what they are doing. Some believe that they are in fact opening a portal to another dimension, others believe that they can warp space and time. What they do know is that they can and have harvest dark matter ( or in Star Trek terms, anti matter) this is the most explosive substance known to exist. What they are trying to do at this time is stabilize these events as to determine what they are doing, rather than guess.
I predict that they are able to discover things that lead to great advancements in space travel. The whole project certainly is fascinating.
7 minutes after you posted that, I was frantically pushing on your video with no results. Now I return and realize the number in the corner is hours:minutes, and it's changed, so I guess I've been seeing the video after all. Why is it so gray, like I'm looking through smoke.
Who are the top quarks? How would you rate the quarks on this board? I would hazard a guess that the top quark is Denny. He is clearly the big cheese and so there is no quark here more topmost. Of the board's God particles, Magnifier may be the most peculiarly particulate...but I'll give it to DaLincoln, since this is his thread. http://www.science20.com/a_quantum_...ms_physics_result_at_13_tev_top_quarks-156890
pretty easy to find. It is on their web site. I will try to find it for you tomorrow. Kind of fried at the moment.
Here's a new article. All it shows is that this subject needs a longer article than this to be understood. http://www.npr.org/sections/13.7/20...antum-physics-and-the-need-for-a-new-paradigm
Here's a good elementary article for all you numbskulls who don't understand everything like I do. http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkai...tlefront-beta-exposes-the-games-biggest-flaw/
dude < if you write script, I am more impressed than with these physicist. You would know what you are doing and they have no idea
