I have to say Trace.. You're normally a very confident interviewer, however, these interviews at CERN portray you as a little reserved, almost shy. To me, this shows just how much this experience meant to you on a personal level. Fantastic!
Oh and, definitely do more 'on location' interviews, this was a very good series. Maybe during these types of interview, your editor could include some location footage too.
For those who are asking!! All those bottles are for celebration moments in the history of the LHC! The different experiment teams buy them for the control center as a thank you for delivering them collisions that they used to make a discovery! For more on the experiment teams check out the previous videos in the series!!
Well I only recently found this channel. The stuff you talk about is very much my thing. I've got lots of catching up to do. Definately my favourite channel by far. Bravo!
I really like Dr. Lamont's natural story telling style! He seems to not have a lot of experience in front of the camera which kind of makes him more charming :)

Hey Trace, I really liked the episodes about this project and would be very interested in seeing other projects like this one, but I think these episodes would be better if their was some more video footage shown. I get it/ don't mind if there is none in your "normal" episodes but when you have chances for some privileged original footage in buildings and/ or projects like this shown in your episodes would be very amazing.
telescopes. i know you did a series on that stuff already but bro, show us the telescopes. ones in construction or whatever you can get we need to see that stuff, especially with so many amazing new ones being built.
I wonder if the 30-or-so collisions that do happen on average when each protons bunch pair intersect affect in any way the other 200 billion protons from their combined bunches... Since I assume the energy dispersed by each proton collision is quite high (relative to their size), do they disperse some of the nearby protons around each of these collisions, or is this a negligible issue?
It is not completely impossible, but completely negligible. Particles are tiny and hard to hit. Collisions typically produce tens of particles - if 100 billion protons per beam just lead to 30 collisions, then you can imagine how often 30*30 collision products lead to a collision. To make it worse, the proton beams are aligned to collide with each other, while the collision products are not.
I'd love to see more of this format to the show. I think a visit to spaceX would be great, or something with the james webb telescope. Don't get me wrong, I prefer the original format, but theres nothing wrong in making aditions to the show
you could tour the spacex factory or the place in Europe where the blue brain project is being developed, maybe the ITER fusion reactor if it ever gets finished.
One thing that wasn't covered at all and I was really interested about: that super gigantic amount of data.... how do you store it ? Where do you store it ? How do you process it ?
Radu Murzea+ when the data first comes from the detector it goes to a permanent storage to protect it. Next they pick the most interesting data from that and send it to the next computers to be analysed. Most of the data (their is a ton of it) is still sitting in the storage banks waiting to be searched through. There may be many answers to many questions sitting in there waiting to be found.
Thanks for the videos. It was quite interesting. But I'd like to suggest, that you do more out of these visits. I don't believe the videos were taken in front of a green screen, but if that would have been the case, it wouldn't have made a big of a difference, in terms of the end result. That's a little sad... Show your viewers around next time. Keep up with the good work!
Trace how do they get the electrons off the protons and once they do that is the chamber a vacuum or does it contain something? Is it a gas or plasma they are accelerating around or is it just some wierd thing that's not really matter and is just named proton beam for now?
the magnets strip the electrons and the beam is in a vacuum. if there was anything in the tube when the beam is fired the beam would hit that and not the corresponding beam. so no detecible collision would occur.
Fast electrons knock off the electrons of hydrogen to produce single protons. Everything is in a very good vacuum (at the proton source there is some hydrogen present for obvious reasons).
How about visiting the Eagleworks lab at NASA? I want to know what's happening with the EM drive and other experimental propulsion. Also, maybe you could visit SpaceX?
Trace it would be great if you stand and explain it on some kinda board like professors do using gestures trust me it's better ! Some youtubers are actually better teachers than majority of teachers in any high school or college. I would attend your lectures daily i promise.
What? It takes time to charge up, & is full of energy which can be directed? Anyone think of the Death Star when you heard that? How much energy is released after a test? How destructive\harmful is the beam?
If you were to stick your hand in the middle.....you'd be fine. Most of the protons would pass straight through, and what did hit would obliterate any atoms nearby. You'd probably have no feeling in your hand; maybe kill the nervers in a centimeter area. And your chance of cancer would go up a tick. But it wouldn't be anywhere near killing you.
There are exactly two places where it can be directed to (apart from circulating in the ring) - the beam dumps. The beam energy is roughly equivalent to what you fill into a car at a gas station. Not really a death star, although releasing everything at once should be done in a controlled way in order to avoid damage to the accelerator.
Its Just the toast they make after a Discovery or maybe with Every collision, seeying the amount of champagne bottles.. Haha. But Trace great series!!! Thanks man...
Jokes aside, it looks like the bottles are on top of cabinets on the back wall of the room, whereas the row of monitors are more in the foreground, away from the wall. Perspective.
Idk, but my a level physics teacher had done some research there on black holes and he said it costs €15 million a day to run it, that wont all be power but i'm sure this gives an idea.
They went to the movies to watch the first "back to the Future" and were inspired by it after doing a little "sipping" with those 72,000 bottles of booze.
All the remarks spent on bottles lining the shelf! Notice everyone was smiling at their desks! They didn't show everyones desk tops did they? Yup! Welcome to France. We know what the French do best! Wine and mistresses! Hadron colliders and the right amounts of hydrogen, magnetic fields and "love potion" in a bottle. Put on them beer goggles baby we're going for a "collider"!
It is if you can't get the REM sleep and right brain activity that come with natural unconscious rest as compared to black out drinking. I didn't catch the eyeball color. I usually look for yellow and bloodshot to get some perspective of how fast the liquor evaporates off the shelf and who may need dialysis soon.
Maybe prepare a bit more questions and follow-ups? Kick the knowledge level up a few notches? Ask more detailed questions? That's where you find the interesting, new, stuff.
I thought the title meant that someone did laps inside the LHC because it said "meet the man who runs the LHC" I'm not the only one who legitimately thought that am I?
it would have saved all the money all the time all our resources if we just asked artificial intelligence computer to figure it out;) and in two weeks we have our answer for every single possible outcome
To celebrate important milestones, like the first beam after a longer shutdown, the first collisions and so on. The control room is usually very crowded around those events, you need many bottles just to give everyone a small glass (or plastic cup). No one gets drunk there, don't worry.
that was a bit boring honestly , 10 minutes talking about the difficulties that can happen etc ... i mean its not bad , but it could be squeezed in less time , the rest was pretty cool
I've been quiet for this whole series but no more this too is obviously a green screen your not really there. It just seems silly to pretend otherwise.
MR. D News Plus you had not prepared for this interview, you lack of basic Physics and Chemistry( High School) is evident in how you answer yourself such as shame.

Uhh tone down the excitement a bit pls. It's a lot more readable when not every sentence ends with an exclamation mark.
Big fan Trace, keep doing you.
you're literally the only person i like on dnews because whenever you're reporting on something 9/10 its not bullshit
Well I only recently found this channel. The stuff you talk about is very much my thing. I've got lots of catching up to do. Definately my favourite channel by far. Bravo!
i like seeing trace doing the remote interviews, maybe even julian! :)
Julian needs to shave his stupid chin hairs
I have particle physicist friends. it was fascinating learning more about CERN. I much enjoyed this episode.
This series was fun! Do more! Could you talk to different space agencies, or all the various companies making spaceships?
Great interview, very interesting and informative.
Thank you D-News +!
This series of videos was great! Keep it up guys :)
they must get Hella drunk and then do science.
look at all those booze bottles!!
disiplined scientists do it the other way round.
I really like Dr. Lamont's natural story telling style! He seems to not have a lot of experience in front of the camera which kind of makes him more charming :)
Very interesting stuff! Thanks.

that part about the hairs of protons passing through each other was cool!
Would definetly like to see you visit more places!
Hey Trace, I really liked the episodes about this project and would be very interested in seeing other projects like this one, but I think these episodes would be better if their was some more video footage shown. I get it/ don't mind if there is none in your "normal" episodes but when you have chances for some privileged original footage in buildings and/ or projects like this shown in your episodes would be very amazing.
Thanks! And of course, visit many other places! South pole: bucket list it.
Trace you should go and make a series in ISS.
Pure rock stars! CERN is rock star central!
That blew my mind. The sheer complexity of it all is amazing.
I would love to see if you visit other places and conduct the interview on site.
telescopes. i know you did a series on that stuff already but bro, show us the telescopes. ones in construction or whatever you can get we need to see that stuff, especially with so many amazing new ones being built.
I agree
Search for Deep sky videos on youtube. Thank me later
Yeah I agree he needs to talk more about the ones being built right now and future ones.
How about to visit LIGO (or its sister projects)? It is also an interesting place to visit. Probably the most precise “machine” in this world…
The operations group leader was a really laid back and down to earth guy
Do a series on gravity waves detection and interview
some people who work at Ligo.
I wonder if the 30-or-so collisions that do happen on average when each protons bunch pair intersect affect in any way the other 200 billion protons from their combined bunches...

Drinking game: take a shot every time Trace nods his head....you will be in a coma by the end of the video
I can't get enough of the ESA's VLA and associated equipment.
Awesome! I looove this freakin' Channel guys! That collider is a marvel of engineering.

Magnets cannot strip off electrons from atoms. At least not in conditions that would be relevant here.
mfb
Thank you. I always assumed the magnetic force relieved electrons in this process.
Thanks for the correction.
Is Tasaki Bose a relation to the Dr. Bose from the Bose-Einstein Condensate?
How about visiting the Eagleworks lab at NASA? I want to know what's happening with the EM drive and other experimental propulsion. Also, maybe you could visit SpaceX?
Trace it would be great if you stand and explain it on some kinda board like professors do using gestures trust me it's better ! Some youtubers are actually better teachers than majority of teachers in any high school or college. I would attend your lectures daily i promise.
God I love this channel so much
I like outside visits. It's has a bit of a Mister Rogers' Neighborhood feel to it.
Is it like throwing ceramic plates together?
What? It takes time to charge up, & is full of energy which can be directed? Anyone think of the Death Star when you heard that? How much energy is released after a test? How destructive\harmful is the beam?

I love you so much DNews Plus. More videos pleaseeee.
They make a video every week day. What more do you want
Didn't expect the guy running the LHC to sound like a WWE wrestler
*If the people at CERN are so smart, why do they store their alcoholic beverages directly over a bank of monitors? Hmmmmm*
Gotta keep em in arms reach
It's all "Top Shelf" alcohol. Nothing but the best for CERN.
No they are storing hydrogen in the bottles! remember?
.
.
.
.
.
Oh I'm just kidding.
Its Just the toast they make after a Discovery or maybe with Every collision, seeying the amount of champagne bottles.. Haha. But Trace great series!!! Thanks man...
Jokes aside, it looks like the bottles are on top of cabinets on the back wall of the room, whereas the row of monitors are more in the foreground, away from the wall. Perspective.
I would suggest visiting the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab.
How much power does the thing use?
Idk, but my a level physics teacher had done some research there on black holes and he said it costs €15 million a day to run it, that wont all be power but i'm sure this gives an idea.
what about going to the Arecibo Radio Telescope ? :P
What about visiting Wendelstein 7-X?
It would be cool to see something like this but in the European Southern Observatory in Chile.
If this was MySpace i would tag myself I those bottles of champagne in the back
definitely keep visiting places like this. gravity waves are in your future.
This was awesome ! Go visit a nuclear reactor or better yet, a nuclear submarine. And please do a series on Chernobyl. Keep up the good work !
workin there for 26 years ? wtf wow thats amazing
it reminds me of two small galaxies merging together but on a smaller scale
Anyone else notice how many bottles were on the shelf behind them?
Yeah you should visit other experiments its cool and gives more information.
Can I ask a question?
Why are they using windows xp to build a time machine?
Because old is gold and new ones are spybots under the name of operating system!
Obviously they don't want any of their data to be sent to Mircosoft
why not?
They went to the movies to watch the first "back to the Future" and were inspired by it after doing a little "sipping" with those 72,000 bottles of booze.
All the remarks spent on bottles lining the shelf! Notice everyone was smiling at their desks! They didn't show everyones desk tops did they? Yup! Welcome to France. We know what the French do best! Wine and mistresses! Hadron colliders and the right amounts of hydrogen, magnetic fields and "love potion" in a bottle. Put on them beer goggles baby we're going for a "collider"!
what's bunch??
More field trips!!!
Trace is so cute when he's lost.😍
They talking about a deathstar?
I really like this guy at cern :)
all that drink makes me think this must be really stressfull
It is if you can't get the REM sleep and right brain activity that come with natural unconscious rest as compared to black out drinking. I didn't catch the eyeball color. I usually look for yellow and bloodshot to get some perspective of how fast the liquor evaporates off the shelf and who may need dialysis soon.
this episode came so fast lol
Visit mars, I've heard they have 2 LHC's
Maybe prepare a bit more questions and follow-ups? Kick the knowledge level up a few notches? Ask more detailed questions? That's where you find the interesting, new, stuff.
I like how theres a booze collection in the back
admit it you thought the title Said hardon collider
You are literally the only one who thought that
I thought the title meant that someone did laps inside the LHC because it said "meet the man who runs the LHC"
I'm not the only one who legitimately thought that am I?
well this is awkward
it would have saved all the money all the time all our resources if we just asked artificial intelligence computer to figure it out;) and in two weeks we have our answer for every single possible outcome
Why is there alcohol in the background 😂
Because alcohol rules!
It's not regulated by the FAA.
DNews should visit the gravity way detector.
How they hell do they see the explosion
Raid Messiah+ think of it as a lot of cameras focused on various parts of the collision
A lot of liquor bottles in the back ground.
FORTH! this is my dream
fourth* unless you're coming forth to correct the typo 🙄
fourth*
Are We Not Men? Your comment wasn't shown when I replied, the later date on the comment was because I left it open for a while before finishing it.
Uh, *cough cough*, I think youll fin its actually, 4fff.
Name I don't know man, I don't buy it.
so....? wormholes?
the flash?
are those champagnes bottles in background , if yes why ?
To celebrate important milestones, like the first beam after a longer shutdown, the first collisions and so on. The control room is usually very crowded around those events, you need many bottles just to give everyone a small glass (or plastic cup). No one gets drunk there, don't worry.
+mfb Cool tradition ......, it shows even scientists are normal people with feelings and all :-P
And Bill Clinton never inhaled!
Ya it would be my absolute dream to work there fucking best job in the world.
that was a bit boring honestly , 10 minutes talking about the difficulties that can happen etc ... i mean its not bad , but it could be squeezed in less time , the rest was pretty cool
they built a time machine !
Yes. They use windows xp to build a time machine.
+Broken Monarch didn't they do that in Terminator Genisys
Trace didn't seem prepared for the interview. Not as informative as it could have been.
Go to FermiLab please..
Visit LIGO
kinda universal =DD
Large hard-on collider.
look! there is *NO* mac, hahaha..
mac are toys
I thought it was hydron. Man I'm stupid :(
R.I.P, weasel
aLIGO would be cool
I've been quiet for this whole series but no more this too is obviously a green screen your not really there. It just seems silly to pretend otherwise.
Where would be the point of a green screen? Mike Lamont is working at CERN, CERN is the logical point to make the interview.
Go to the space station.
Nelson Mandela Died in Jail in The 80's !!!
I don't really want to meat the guy, no.
it was the joke
A terrible one
hey this the god's lab!
MR. D News Plus you had not prepared for this interview, you lack of basic Physics and Chemistry( High School) is evident in how you answer yourself such as shame.
What? There's a *GUY* on the top? Why, that's misogyny! That's patriarchy!
Ferminlabs!
Can you blow up the world?
Go to ITER
wasn't he ... more brown before?
Switzerland will do that to you. ;)
go to DARPA
