What is the future of the world’s biggest physics experiment? And what intriguing hints of new physics are around the corner?
Harry Cliff is the Science Museum Fellow of Modern Science, which he reckons might be the only job title which begins and ends with 'science'. He spends half his time searching for signs of new physics at LHCb, one of the four big experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. For the other half, he indulges his love of talking about physics at the Science Museum, where he develop exhibitions, events and online content.
This talk was filmed in the Royal Institution on 31 October 2017.

Harry Cliff is one of those physicists who explain the most complex topics of physics in a brilliantly simple way ......just loved his presentation
Thank you Royal Institution for making this available freely. Such an engaging and informative lecture. Harry Cliff's enthusiasm is simply contagious. Explained in a simple and easy to understand manner.
Also Royal Institute please bring in people who are not comatose as audience participants. I felt for your intelligent speaker. His subtle humor was missed by this audience along with most of what this clear speaking presenter said. If he got a stipend I hope it had a rider for "combat pay", how many almost deceased people can you be forced to entertain?
@@tomaims true, maybe next time you should go and attend if you can and maybe once if it possible for me to attend one of The Royal Institution's talk I will go and attend

Probably the best lecture on particle physics I've ever seen. Great presenter and very clearly thought out description for what are the greatest mysteries of the universe - no small feat!
Five star presentation Mr. Cliff.
Harry Cliff did a fantastic job preparing and giving this lecture. You don't need any prior knowledge of the area to be able to understand it. By the end, he cautiously tells us about a new and profound discovery that will truly reveal itself in the next year or two. I CAN"T WAIT!
If a leptoquark is found, that would be very very significant, maybe even more than the Higgs. But preliminary estimates/calculations put the energies needed at way above what the LHC can now produce, and an upgrade is not planned until mid 2030's.
Agree, nice and informative lecture by a very eloquent speaker
Marc Marc It'll still take at least some decades before we can get any practical use out of it. Unless you're a superhero, then you have 1 of these things generating near-infinite energy to power your base and suits.
I like antimater idea the most. If it could be created, immagine what awsome weapon it would make. Antimater bomb would be spectacular sight to behold indeed. But if they realy discover the secrets of dark energy in the future, I think the power it could yield would be even more astonishing. Maybe enough to destroy the star itself!
B Antimater can and have been created, the issue is to store antimater.
Beautifuly elegant talk. Harry Cliff takes us from the beginnings of quantenphsyics right to the front of research today. 100 years of physics which is sadly hardly known by the general population. I hope this man will give more lectures in the future!
I also liked the lecture but you're a bit misguided if you think he covered the base of quantum physics at all. I'd suggest you read a textbook or watch some university issued talks on the subject.
@@QuasiELVIS You seem so confident in your knowledge, what is your background? Yes, I am skeptical about you.
@@alexv5581 I have a university bachelor of science degree.
People are still stuck in their Goofy religious beliefs, refusing to accept the fact of evolution and whatnot.. pathetic
@@alexv5581 I agree with Elvis ... I only have a high I.Q to rely on as I am currently studying quantum physics. ... However. I only partly agree. As the talk is about quantum physics essentially, although the lecture is not about the interaction of atoms/protons which quantum physics addresses rather more , a layman's eyeview of quantum physics.
This was a very interesting explanation of what the Standard Model is about -- such a clear explanation of fields that make particles possible and what an atom consists of.
I’ve been interested in the Quantum physics for years, but I learnt some really basic things about the Standard Model I didn’t know. His coverage of things to be investigated was also inspiring. Very well done.

More like attention decay.
As long as she did not snore, it's perfectly okay.
Thats his wife. Shes heard it all before.
15:40 is my favorite
Lol I was hoping that other people noticed this
One of the best presentations with a fabulous rhythm and content in front of a dead or disinterested audience with zero sense of humour!
Exactly what i was thinking. I thought his gags were suitably funny for at least a guffaw.
@@muldermachines Perhaps the audience reactions weren't picked up by the mic(s).
The reason; far too many topics, talked about far too long.
@@hairybear7705 Shouldn't people be able to handle a one hour long talk?
cell phones enable this generation's already notoriously short attention spans. You can bet that a large segment of the audience had their noses in their phones with thumbs all a twiddle...
Harry Cliff and David Tong do a Great Service to Physics Education.
Wish I had teachers like you both.
Thanks, Harry for your time and effort.
24:42 is when it hit me.
This universe we live in is amazing
This is by far the best single explanation of recent advances in physics I've seen.
agree!
totally agree!
I agree. Except he doesn't address the title of the video. He spends the first 45 minutes of this video talking about history and explaining the Higgs Boson but not what they're doing now. After all, the title of the video is "What's next for the LHC?". You don't find out until the very end of the video. It's a shame, but it's clickbait.
Naaaah.....ummmm... I've coughed-up more sustainable arguments.
@@dmc2554
Yeah, sure you have...🙄
😂😂😂
That's what I love about science, whenever you think "Heureka! We got it!" it turns out: "Well, but there is more, much more to discover and to understand."
eXtremeDR I think we will never understand. It will be layer. Then another layer. And so on. Infinity. Welcome to the universe.
Yes, I agree with you, but I like the idea that they admit they are never going to get it completely right. As they find out more, they try to adjust their theories. And they are theories, not fact, and always say so, unlike those who insist their way is right, perfect and cannot be altered or improved on, like religion, or the political dogma of an intolerant tyrant.
But I do wonder if they ever admit that it might be better to start from scratch, rather than pile more on top an already top heavy theory.
@Hari Veturi I agree, but that is more of an excuse rather than good science. But I completely sympathise with whoever tries to untangle the huge vat of spaghetti that is the end result of what started out as a neat packet of pasta. This is a simile, or metaphor, not sure which!
As an aside, why is there an H and more than one T in spagetti? What law decided that is the correct way to spell it ? Lol.
The simplicity of explanation made this complex topic understood, thanks Harry Cliff. Searching for more topics from your end.
I'm here because of the recent results from the Fermilab's muon g-2 experiment which is another strong evidence that we miss something from the standard model as Harry Cliff hinted at the end of this video.
Harry is fantastic in explaining complex things, good job. Really like his style, fast and rich of content and in a constant flow, and 0% bullshit.
thanks harry for that fantastic updated talk about mighty LHC. I have my fingers crossed for next big breaking.
We should have been wiped out ...according to the theory !! What!!!
95% of what makes the world is unknown !!!! What??!!
Dark matter, dark energy.... !!! Interesting!!!!
You b-e-l-i-e-v-e all that guff?
Why?
Best lecture I’ve ever seen on particle physics .... big up
I loved Harry's little jokes-- they made me chuckle, because he enjoyed them so much.
This guy is on fire. What an entertaining speaker.
I have to agree👍🤙🎙This guy is a Cosmological heavy weight👍🐋.Who to me has a very detailed understanding of his field of specialty! Partical physics. And is willing to expound upon it with a type of 💫🕵📌📌points accuracy. For those of us who are really trying to absorb and understand!👏👍
Keep up the good 👷 work Harry 👏👍🤞 it is Human beings like yourself ! That are propel-omg3 the Human species Ahead?🤞👏👍👀Some of us are 👀 and 👂you!
36:45 This guy gets such an amazing spark in his eyes when he talks about this stuff and no one seems to react in the room. If I was there, I'd get up and give him a hug.
Physics is so awesome it makes me cry. 😪
Aditya Singhal omg same!
Haha it makes me wanna make out with him!

BEGONE
More Harry Cliff in the future please. Best explanation so far...
This guy was so interesting to listen to. I really wanted to know these latest concepts of particle physics and he explained it very simply and clearly for me. One thing I liked was the dates of knowledge. I had no idea we new about antimatter so long ago.
Best presentation on particle physics, had heard so far
There's something very clear, concise yet informative about this lecture. I particularly like the breakdown of the current understanding of the different particles etc. I note some decention in the comments of others. People should remember that this is free to view in the comfort of your own home! Many thanks RI.
One of the best and informative presentations I have ever seen. I congratulate Mr Harry Cliff for preparing and presenting this subject without a sip of water, and simplifying this extremely complicated subject so even I was able to partially comprehend the issue.
I appreciated the absence of condescension in the presence us little people!!
The exciting takeaway is the quality of this man's intellect. To have achieved such a high and depth of knowledge, with such clarity and modesty is so stimulating and inspiring. His casual dress is a bonus.
absolutely an excellent presentation, the people there were obviously in a different dimension, any attempt at humor was definitely lost on them. they either are pretending to already know this material or were forced to attend. I would have loved to have him speak at my class as he explained serious physics with outstanding clarity. Impressive young man, starts with the very basic and builds to todays latest discoveries and mysteries. I loved it!!!!
A difficult topic explained with such a clarity is really great . Harry Cliff is a genius
Boson is the name given after Indian scientist satyanendra bose
@@ranvir4641 Nobody asked
@@morganmitchell4017 Ok brother,Just fact.
Superb presentation by Harry Cliff. He gives us clear explanations of various theories and takes us on a methodical step by step journey into the understanding of Quantum Physics - how it started and where are we today with our knowledge. Harry presents the unanswered questions and the unknown mysteries simultaneously. Thank you Harry.
His humor' is unique... Piloting over most of the audience's heads with joke/humor....graduate physics humor... the audience was happy anyway, bliss.
Fabulous presenter. I love it when really smart people can explain really complicated laws so non-physicists like me can grasp them, but also acknowledge the limits of our understanding so I can trust them.
Harry Cliff does such an amazing job of explaining incredibly difficult physics, so thankful for his lecture.
Absolutely brilliant lecture. The breakdown and explanation provided here makes one of the most complex subjects ever studied, palatable & surprisingly understandable. I have & will continue to follow along with the progression of your teams work and I greatly appreciate the time you all put into the monumentally important work ur conducting.
Love these RI presentations! They are really enriching. I’m addicted!
Such a great lecture. Superbly well explained (for a layman like me), really interesting, lively and most important of all: understandable! without dumbing it down.
Wow, this was mind-blowing! I almost understood everything, I hope. I am very far from physics :) Thank you for explaining it the way I could understand. Harry is fantastic, hope to hear more of his lectures!
FANTASTIC LECTURE! Pretty complex and difficult concepts explained in a smooth and elegant way! Yay!
Best ever scientific lecture for a complicated topic. Well done ladies and gentlemen
I am amazed how fast you talk and how well I hear you despite my being hard of hearing and English being my second language.
Elocution my dear Claudio, elocution.
Finally a you tube video about LHC that is not about opening portals to hell and demons
History
Yeah, also they haven't got any useful results... Like allways
and yet you couldn't be more wrong! lmao (just kidding)
The same ones that wanted to create a wormhole. On a small scale. Yet had no clue how it would behave? Not sure I would want to create small wormhole in a lab...Just to see what would happen. One reason most Physicist said hell no..
It’s not is it? Already loaded my bloody shotgun...
Amazing presentation. Just loved it. Give lots of information in an amazingly organized way with lots of humor. Learned lots of new staff about LHC. Thanks for uploading this video.
Fairly easy for a layperson like me to uderstand, but fantastically fascinating, absorbing, and mind blowing! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
A brilliant and understandable explanation of particle physics and how the LHC is being used to increase our understanding of why there is anything at all!
Great lecture. Whenever I see these talks at The Royal Institute I am always amazed that Micheal Faraday gave his lectures at the very same desk in this room. This lecture and others really brings the realization that regarding the space we are living in; we are basically running blind. We are only seeing the most minute portion of what might actually be here in this space.
Really, you're _always_ amazed? When do you think you'll finally conquer your incredulity? :-/ 200 years isn't a very long time when you're talking about buildings. My mother's house was built before Faraday gave that lecture.
A really enjoyable lecture.
Good content explained very clearly.
Hmm. What do with call you, Keylanos? Science denier? Reality denier?
You can't win. The Standard Model is one of the crowning achievements of modern science. Pitting any theory you prefer against it would be like bringing a plastic spoon to a gun fight.
gespilk - Came back to edit my answer (which was wrong) after watching the Q&A (link in the description). Harry says that the mass of the Higgs boson also comes from the Higgs field. No doubt the longer answer was beyond the scope of his lecture!
I have a new hero. Harry Cliff. I learned a great deal from this lecture. Very interesting.
He is a good lecturer and can move along even with a dead audience.
When I started this video I didn't think I'd finish it, but it was so fascinating that...well, here I am at the end.
You have the ability to reach out to us not so gifted in particle physics and wanting to hear more. I was mesmerized by your talk, totally engrossed by it, devoured a whole bowl of chips without realizing it as I listened to you. Normally I would have fallen asleep half way though this kind of presentation, you have a gift for speaking and keeping connected to the listener. Well done and thank you, enjoyed every moment. Even learned a thing or two lol.
Great lecture! Explained things so well even I could follow along. lol. Hope you give more talks like this as I learned quite a bit from it and would love to learn more. Thank you.
After carefuly watching the video from start to finish about 3 time I conclude with a fairly high degree of accuracy that he was speaking in English.
At a machine-gun rate of delivery.
Do you have statistical proof for that 🤔
You guys are hilarious
@@manpjal to within 5 sigma, of course.
These lectures are a gift to the educated members of society. Totally ignored by the other 99 percent of
the planet.
I understood it all up to just after “ Thanks Martin for the kind introduction “ lol
This was the VERY best video on this topic (s) that I have ever seen. Great job Mr. Cliff!
Thank you for providing such awesome content. I really enjoyed the lecture.
great presentation! he explained a few different things I've been wanting to better understand for a while now.
I like the basic run down on how the LHC produces the media and experiment.
Excellent Lecture. Highly informative. Riveting. TY for posting.
Tip: If you want to express gratitude take the time to write out "thank you" in full.
Excellent, fascinating and highly accessible lecture. Dr. Cliff is to be commended for giving a truly excellent lecture.
Harry Cliff matches Brian Greene in his skill at explaining science with the added feature of presenting more words per second and the ability to share the excitement of his work with great visuals and gems of humor.
As a physicist, this was the most intetesting and harminious presentation I have ever seen. I cannot understand why the lady at the background was falling asleep.
She might’ve had a long day

What a mind boggling topic presented in a charming way by a equally charming intellectual. The general public couldn't get enough of it. Many Thanks from HK
"When you hear the word Dark in physics what that really means is we don't know what we're talking about" ...this guy is totally awesome!
True: Dark Energy, Dark Mass = We don't know + We don't know.
They dealing with demonic stuff
This lecture has been truly enlightening as much it can be to a non physicist. This shall be my reference henceforth whenever i doubts, queries or need clarification. Thank you Dr Harry Cliff.
Totally engaging and clear throughout. Brilliant lecturing style. Thanks
Hi everyone, we just got English closed captions for this video, hope this makes it even easier to enjoy!
Yap, very entertaining.thanks.
maybe they can't figure out how to fit gravity into the equation because gravity doesn't exist
The Royal Institution 7
so super symmetry describes Matter as a proton, Antimatter as an electron and Dark Matter as a neutron.
Thank you very much for the CC.
If my lectures on basic school were as entertaining as this.. maybe I would have been scientist too.. Lovely.
If you needed to be entertained in order to become a physicist, you likely did not have the requisite interest in the subject. That especially holds true for the idea floating around in the 90's that we needed more young people going into science, so we ought to go round to schools, performing science experiments that created loud and impressive explosions to get young people interested in science, without asking whether if that's what it took to grab the attention of students, did they really have the mindset necessary to be a scientist. (Science is rarely, if ever, exciting in the student sense.)
Me too, perhaps a life wasted. Almost 80, so a little late but I have been trying to come to grips with it for several years. Still beyond me but absolutely fascinating.
Exactly what I was thinking..
Maby if your teacher had 20 hours time to prepare 5 minutes speech, it would have been that interesting ;)
If the entertainment value of lectures is your driving force in many years of university then you would never make it through.
What a tough crowd. Incredible presentation, thank you!
Bunch of particles explaining particles to other particles
@ Sonu Sharma
yes - this is quite the same thing as when over 100 different 'atoms' were reduced to protons, neutrons, and electrons they consist of (3 particles, not 100++)
He's basically saying, "So, we are we, and we have being like this since we were born"
We are the universe learning about itself.
@@the1tigglet
So, this is what we are, after all.
My atoms are telling me the truth
For the first time I see a lecture that is recent enough that the results aren't here yet, that's really exciting!
I was looking for deeper explanation of modern physics for so long. Thank you for making this!
"Modern physics" left true physics over a 100 years ago.
This was a spectacular presentation - the best I've seen about particle physics
"In fact particles aren't really what matters at all."
I'm the only one who finds that funny? XD
hahaah pun!
@@MrAaronvee Thanks cpt. Obvious XD
@@MrAaronvee exactly my thoughts... everything is vibrating energy fields which is one of the arguments for the holographic universe model... wanna laugh? play an explanation of THAT!
@@MrAaronvee Interesting, I have always been interested in the Quantum Mechanics model, I'd love it if you could point me to some Primary Research or even a speech on it that will give me more than a rudimentary and, frankly embarrassingly small amount of knowledge that I currently possess.
@@solstinger_epiphany6655 Unintended pun:/ hes not that funny,lol
It's a continual source of frustration to me how there's no facility for showing on video what these people are highlighting with their laser pointers, I always feel that i'm missing out on an important point. can we have a bit of effort with the editing perhaps, a graphic maybe? Surely I'm not the only one!
Thank you for your honest feedback. We'll see if there is more that we can do during editing. Hope you enjoyed the talk otherwise.
And please, please - if the lecturer refers to the slide - please, point the camera to the presentation, so that we can follow the explanations with the picture in front of us. Because normally, if the lecturer points towards the slide and talks about it, standing 90° next to it in order to directly show parts on the slide, you would look up there. And if the camera doesn't point there, then it is a bit frustrating.
In the Q&A to this video there was even a part (13:11) where you could see the lecturer with the laserpointer in the hand gesturing towards the presentation - that was not shown. That's really not optimal at all. Really, even afterwards you couldn't see the slide - probably the responsible person thought that everyone should still have the slide in memory. But the lecturer extra went back to that foil to show everyone - except us - on that slide his point. Really, you should improve that, that's really destructive to the lecture as a whole.
it probaby didnt matter because you can still see where his hand is pointing
It's called 'Obscuring the facts' which is as he keeps repeating, "They don't Know"..
go write apple, to make laser pointers that show up on camera.
do expect they will steal your idea if they think they can abuse it to milk people
This show was absolutely excellent. More like this please!
Im a 61 yr old female who has decided to study cern. A humanities back ground, suddenly I'm a science girl. Instead of heading to class I get the best lecturers, like this one. You are reaching and teaching this non traditional student and doing an amazing job! Having the education is helping with the math.
And yes, I am doing the math, why not? I'm having a good time. Thank you for the world class education. Thank you very much!
What a well delivered an presented presentation of a very complex topic that's normaly tedious to get your head around .. well done 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I'll have to come back to the continued explanation by this young man. I must first digest what I learned so far. I do feel obligated to do this because so many of these discoveries/understandings came to be when I was born. Later.
Great explanation. Thanks for uploading such useful content.
Extraordinarily well done! Explained extremely well!
As well as can be done by using words instead of number data. Good job.
Thanks! this is the best lecture of the year. it keeps me up dated!
wonderful presentation. I could actually understand. great explanations. thanks for this.
Excellent Speaker, an update on the Large Hadron Collider's newest discoveries since the Higgs is welcome news indeed.
That lady in the background is sleeping. SMH
Yes I 2 noticed n that too for The entire duration of the lecture
Maybe she just had a very long week and was very tired.
Regardless if she was tired, asleep, or "listening" with her eyes closed; rather rude/ disrespectful to be front and center doing so. Sit in the back and let someone whom is attentive have the seat instead.
At least I wasnt the only one to notice that... Maybe she was just checking her tweets, in her lap. Pfffff....
I wonder, wether she was dragged there by her husband. Or she is the one with the key to the room, and has to be there for every single talk. Or she heard 99% of the story before, (like many of the viewers here), but isn’t as enthusiastic about hearing it again and again. There’s lots of possibilities.
FANTASTIC piece of lecturing. Great knowledge , great flow to explain a very complex phononena in simple words. MORE from.him please!!!
Great talk Physicist Harry Cliff about LHC development ..!!
Harry Cliff Reminds Me Of Carl Sagan - My Working Class Brain Was Enthralled From Beginning To End. I Came Away Wanting To Lean MORE !
Carl Sagan was unequalled. His voice was hypnotic. My mother who had a little knowledge of English was completed charmed by his voice.
Great masterclass for science amateurs. Thank you for sharing.
It amazed me the part where the electron is massless and then accretes its mass by interacting with the field... It reminds me of rocky planets orbiting the Sun and acheiving their mass while rotating around the cloud that surrounds the star.
Excellent presentation with clear explanation of complicated topic. Henry is great teacher.
Great lecture for novice like me .... better understanding into the particle world ....many thanks for posting it
Clear and concise. Great lecture Harry!
Can’t hit the like button enough times!!!.. what an amazing presentation!
Educational, intriguing… inspiring! 🤩
This is one of the better public lectures on the channel. This guy is actually capable of coherent speech and communication.
As someone interested in Simulation Theory, stuff like this just makes it even more interesting.
Excellent presentation. Very accessible. Great job.
As usual RI does a super job on a difficult subject. Harry is excellent. His English is spot on. I just really love RI channel.
The ads are not over bearing the content is world classy! RI is No Ka Oi! Thanks because in Hawaii there is no other way to get updated on the progress on the standard model.
Outstanding video. Harry Cliff is a superb lecturer and teacher.
Very educational, I'm amazed at the great explanation on such an extremely difficult subject to grasp. If any one could find something fundamentally new and rework the standard model, my money is on Physicist Cliff,
Most excellent lecture. Made me sunderstand a few more sthings and their srelations!
A hugely enjoyable and informative lecture, thank you so very much
7 star explanation by Mr Harry Cliff. He simply excelled himself!!
