I am not a scientist and have little scientific education - but I so enjoy learning about all things physics. And Sean Carroll is one of my favorite people to listen to and learn from. I so enjoy these lectures. Thank you.

This dude is really great at explaining this. Once he got into quantum fields I was like "oh no, this is going off the rails" but he really broke everything down quite well. Subscribed!

Paul Dirac, created the name BOSON , in honor of the Indian mathematician , Satyendra Nath Bose, who with Einstein , is the creator of the Bose-Einstein Statistics, which helped to define this group of particles. A relevant piece of history .

Great teachers and great minds are a rare combination ... Sean Carroll epitomizes both.

CALTECH, got a bargain to have Sean Carroll. Much more intelligent than anyone in the running.

Dr. Carroll spoke extemporaneously for some 30 minutes, without a single hitch, nor a single stutter ! Amazing ! So glad he was never in the same class as I.

0:52 the anouncement of the Higgs Boson measurement "was a massive worldwide media sensation". Of course, if there weren't a Higgs Boson, it would not have been massive... 😄

this lecture was fantastic for us non-physicists

I have always wanted to understand this on a higher level. You did an AMAZING job of explaining this as someone who knows little to nothing about physics.Thank you!!

I feel like I have been rechristened, taking me back to my college days some 30 years ago. And I could gather much more from Sean's 30 minutes lecture than I have been able to since Higgs Boson news broke out from CERN in 2012.....

I have the tiniest grasp of the concept of particles now i have fields to confuse the hell out of me.

What a beautiful lecture Mr Sean Carrol, You should be one of the most popular professors.

Higgs Boson walks into a Catholic church: "Hey! What are you doing here?? You know you can't have Mass without me!!!"

Sean does an EXCELLENT job at explaining. Thank you so much, Sean! You ARE making a difference.

"Nature will surprise us once again." I loved that line!

Sir hats off and bow down... You have represented all the scientists and all the history past present and future of Existence ! I want to listen to your lectures always !

Thanks for this great video Wondrium! Sean is the best communicator for this kind of subjects.

Love that the discovery was announced on July 4th, awesome. Best particle physics lecture ever, sub'd

I’m just a retired country doctor what enjoy science so much. Thank you for your excellent presentation.

Dr Sean did again. this is the best episode in higgs boson. the energy radiates just like the higgs field giving the audience a sense of mass ( being important now that I know the hidden secret of the universe ) thanks again Dr Carroll and keep up with the good work. from Hker worldwide 香港聽眾

Beautiful. Thanks for explaining this so clearly.

This was great. I am interested in this and find his explanations very informative and uncomplicated.

Excellent presentation. Seems like he is speaking from memory and not just reading. Each time the camera angle changes it's like a new paragraph as he moves to a new topic point and he seamlessly follows the camera angle without disrupting the flow. Very compelling delivery of a complex topic and well put together with the background graphics too.

I was a 1987 summer student at Fermi Lab. During a lunch, Leon Lederman told me that his book about the Higgs boson was to be named the God dammed particle, because it was very difficult to find, but that his editor told him to drop the word dammed in order to sell better as a more serious book. That’s the real reason for the word God in the title!

25:55 - “It’s nice to get 10 billion dollars… BUT” made me lol 🤣🤣

One of the best teachers in the field!

Wonderful job at explaining pretty difficult subject matter, I thoroughly enjoyed it and have subscribed, thanks so much for your passion

This guy did a wonderful job of simplifying this topic.

What an eloquent scientist and a perfectly presented lecture. I must see if he has a video explaining Einstein’s relativity as I always feel there is a logical jump in every explanation I’ve seen. Nothing illogical in this lecture.

You are always so good in explaining hard concept. It's a privilege to have you in our time. Long live the great explainer.

24:53 - This is gold starting right here. Well said, Mr. Carroll

Extremely clear and concise.

The price of the collider in Geneva was a bargain in comparison to the rescue of the banking Industrie 15 years later

The most stunning thing I discovered about particle physics is that the majority of the mass in protons and neutrons comes from the energy exchanged between the eight massless gluons holding the component quarks together.

Excellent analysis and great presentation…….looking for more ahead…

Kudos to Sean Carroll! Enunciation is EVERYTHING! I have a 1995 B.S. in Physics, but the Higgs Boson escaped me (17 years before it was "discovered") . I really benefit from Sean Carroll's subtle little pauses that help me process the information before he moves on to the next part of the sentence. It sounds minor, but it is not!

Sean, you are very good at informing and educating many of us. That is a tremendous skill and doesn't come easy. Thank you for your time, consideration and sharing the passion you evidently have for Science. I/we appreciate all your hard work.

Just found this channel looking for information about charm mesons. You’re an amazing teacher. Thanks for sharing your life’s work with the World.

Great video. Learned a lot here. Thanks for sharing.

Cool. Thank you. I think I even understood that. It sent my mind spinning. I am writing a book and let’s just say, a problem within the pages may just have been solved.

This is beyond Good Tube 🤓

Awesome video and great lecture. During the presentation, Sean Carroll mentions that there are more of these lectures about particle physics (at 22:10 he says lectures 8 and 9 will be about the LHC). I wonder where one could watch the remaining lectures? I haven't found them on the Wondrium UKposts channel.

Thx for sharing this great free content

Excellent Dr. Carroll, I truly enjoy your explanations of the universal curiosity. I do not think anyone is too old to be curious or become an explorer of new worlds even if nuclear. Thank you.

Superb presentation, this is what education should be. Sean Carroll is an outstanding teacher.

Boson is named after an Indian scientist named Satyendra Nath Bose who was a forgotten hero. Einstein was impressed by his work but he never got any credit. No mention of his name in this video also. Place of birth does matter.

That is so cool! Professor Higgs developed his theory in the mid-to-late 60s and it took until 2012 for him to prove it. I would have loved to be standing in the room when that happened. One thing about the Higgs boson is that it is the particle that allowed mass to form.

Brilliant presentation. Thank you.

Sean...lol....all particles are God’s particles, this one was just the last one you guys found...lol. Love learning physics! It ties everything together!

I think the Higgs field will explain a lot about Dark Energy and Dark Matter and that we dont know a lot about "other" field interactions. As Sean said we can explain a lot about what we can see - this is really only a very small part.

Excellent presentation!

Great video thank you I watched it until the end it's really intriguing and interresting

Sean is such an absolutely wonderful lecturer. Thankyou Sean!

Thank you! So easy to understand your explanation! ✨

Awesome presentation as always

Wonderful job. And thanks to u sir for making it easy for us.

Thanks for sharing this information in depth with us/ me. I was reading / working on awakening with quantum physics, cause n effect n time, where I found about it. And your elaborate and lucid description helped me to understand it in much better way. Specifically, field.. has given me a new point to rebuild my study. 🙏

Very good presentation. Sean Carroll is simply excellent lecturer. Thanks for this explanation.

Hats off to You . We are grateful to you for making the video available in Hindi subtitles.I love this channel a lot.please michio kaku's rubbish that he made the term nirvana of buddhism redundant in science Entered, exposed. Please!!! I love you so much when you add Hindi subtitles to your videos. again a lot Congratulations 💓🌹🤝👌👍 I am from India

I now know that as much as science interests and amazes me especially astrophysics...astronomy...I will never fully grasp it, if I still mostly struggle even listening to Sean...still enjoyable..thanks for trying Sean Carrol...does anyone know anything that someone, who struggles like myself, could watch and maybe find easier to understand.

"CERN The End" Stephen Darby You're Not Always Fighting A Person But The Spirit Behind The Person. Nothing Is Hidden In The Spiritually Realm. Some Of You Are Opening Doors That You Shouldn't.

Very informative! This is an amazing discovery, now we know that the quantum mechanics have always been present since ancient times. Names will always change. According to cultural and political changes. Meaning may change but the essence of true intellect is there. Scientists are never satisfied even while sometimes having solid theories, until they have concrete evidence.... I was shook at $9B. Makes me think of our priorities. Even if technology gets better is it really worth all these resources? Curiosity killed the cat. That’s the saying isn’t it? As curious as we are we also have intelligence to know our limits and discern progress vs consequences. I’m sure there are far more sustainable ways to implement these advancements. But i guess in the end I have to admit we will always follow our desire for knowledge. Even if sometimes I wish compassion came first, I guess knowledge helps understanding between humans as we can finally grasp things as a whole. As understanding comes together peace can be closer to our reality.

A terrific video, very to the point as a warm up on the subject that seemed to be nearly forgotten.

You are amazing. Thank you!

What a lecture ! He looks so handsome too.His intellect and personality overshadow every other modern personality.

Thanks for sharing, interesting and exciting!!

In the begining we wanted to know "How" these fields work, now we need to know "Why"...

This was a very good lecture thank you.

Mathematics has String Theory Instruments, and Physics has LHC Tympani on which play the Cosmological Music of Spheres.

The older idea of Aether seems to reflect this higgs/boson field. Something that Einstein once considered as part of his theory of relativity.

Higgs Boson is my next door neighbor. He recently finally gave up on women and went bi in his mid 50's!

I'm not sure I've ever been told I should be surprised, and agreed so thoroughly

I am so glad someone finally gave proper credit to Democritus. Everyone else tries to say "Democritus was wrong" when it was really the chemists who got it wrong. Thanks for that. Also, the particle physicists are also wrong. There's something deeper. "Particles are fluctuations in a field" is wrong. (But we won't get into that here.)

I'm blessed to have discovered this man, Sean Carroll.... and this channel Wondrium recently. I'll be watching many of the videos. I spent the last 12 years of my career as a prototype machinist working on a different "9+billion dollar" project..... The James Webb Space Telescope.... projected launch date 10/31/2021. Just as the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, the JWST will also satisfy man's curiosity in so many ways.... but perhaps more importantly, it will give us even greater pictures than the Hubble and the many amazing earth based telescopes..... and in doing so it will bring us to our knees in worship of the God that created this universe. Psalm 19: 1 The heaven's declare the glory of God.... Acts 17: 28 In Him we live, and move, and have our being.

Fine Tuned for sure. 😎👽🥳

Freaking fascinating. Best explanation I’ve found yet.

Democritus is clearly (2:47) one of the early incarnations of Merle Haggard.

"Fundamental building blocks of nature" a great name to give a tarrot card or a Pokemon character . And then we can " build back better"

Amazing to be able to hear the exact process that took place directly from Peter Higgs. What a video!

Father of Particle Physics is not Democritus but Kanad (6th- 4th century BCE), an Indian, philosopher.

fancy graphics but still feels like it's a rip from a VHS training video from 1990.

My friend still has his lucky rubber. I'm 50. There's some math to make ya laugh

That was amazing. Thanks

I had very little understanding of the fundamentals of particle physics, classification of different particles and how they function and was looking for better insights into this mind boggling topic and I am glad I found this video and trust me now I can sleep in peace at night. Splendid work Sean, superb!! If you can also please make a video on "quantum entanglement" I will be very thankful to you as that's one thing which still tends to give me sleepless nights. 😊

Stay safe bro! This man is one of the great minds of the 20th century!

OK so the Higgs is unexplained as to where it comes from. So it gives matter it’s mass and that is what pulls time and distance “down” into quantifiable measurable amounts. Time is pulled down from everything being instantaneous and slows it down so physical things can take place. Likewise, distance that is infinite was pulled down into being measurable and limited amounts “where” life can take place. So we now have limited time and distance where the chemistry, electromagnetism and quantum mechanics can be ordered into being three dimensional living organisms. Do you want to discover where all of this power, order and written instruction is coming from? I can tell you that it is not from a physical source.

A great explanation for our great explanations.

This seems interesting and appreciate your science videos and hope you don't mind me following, and I appreciate UKposts for providing a platform. The science is great and it's an honor to view. Thank you

Thank you for the very informative yet comprehensive explanation

Where is the Nova documentary on this??

Nice video !

Very helpful. Thanks.

Wasn't the original name "the goddamned particle" because the astronomers couldn't actually find it at first?

turns out the aether theory was right, after all. should be a lot of red faces in the phyicists heavenly commons room.

Excellent presentation sir 👏

Wow, beautifully explained,

Excellent presentation. Thank you Shaun Carrol. Despite Shaun's undoubted intellectual talents, his vast knowledge of physics and astounding presentational skills, I have to disagree with him on one point. We DO NOT (yet), have a complete theory of the fundamental building blocks as Shaun has stated. We do not yet understand gravity and still, have not found the supposed "Graviton". We are still "stuck" at ALMOST understanding that gravity is the curvature of time, but are confused that this varying time rate also affects the "size" of space (space curvature). We are unsure which is fundamental, Space or Time and have made no progress in resolving this issue. I will give you the answer. TIME IS FUNDAMENTAL, and space is simply emergent from the process of time. To me, this seems quite obvious. In Special Relativity, as your clock slows with increasing speed, then the space (ahead of you) contracts. All this means is that as your clock slows down, it takes YOU, less time to cross any distance, until, at the speed of light, your clock has stopped altogether and it now takes you no time at all to get anywhere you like. Space has become meaningless to you. It has ceased to exist when your time has ceased to pass. Your motion has caused time to slow down, but the slowing of your time has caused space to "shrink". You have been moving through a "Time Rate Field" which slows your time down in accordance with Lorentz. Only motion through a sine wave can do this. The time rate field is a wavelike field of energy, an oscillating field of energy, which appears blue shifted to you as you move faster through the field. The field is the field of TIME !, and so the static field (of time), is proceeding faster than you and so YOUR field is running SLOWER as a result of your motion. You have literally red shifted, in that your progress into the future proceeds with a lower frequency. Yes, that's right, we all move into the future (the next state of existence) in a wavelike manner, faster then slower, then faster then,.........well you can see what I mean. This HAS to be the case when we consider how light is emitted in waves from any light source. What else would cause that, other than the oscillating frequency of all events? If you put a clock in completely empty space (yes I know), the damn thing will tick, not because you just put it there, but because time was already passing there before you put the clock in it. The time rate field is an oscillating field of energy that exists throughout the cosmos, and it has a non zero value everywhere. 'Sound familiar? Yes, that's right. the Higgs field IS the time rate field. The gravitational field is simply the variation in frequency of the field with position, or, the "curvature of time" caused by some of its energy being used by the particles in the larges masses within it. Everything takes its energy from the field, all particles, all matter and all motion too. All events, all change. All energy comes from the time rate field which is why the field red shifts (loses energy) in the presence of other sources of energy. The Higgs Boson is the particle from this field, but it is not the graviton. Gravity is caused by the changing frequency of the field with position in it and there is no particle associated with changing frequency, but only from the field itself. There is no such particle as the "Graviton", it is a figment of our imaginations and we will never find it. I'll leave it there, but there is much more to this idea than can be presented here in a comment. You can read my book "The Binary Universe" - A Theory of Time, and "No", I don't care about selling books, at least, I do want to sell just the one book, to the physicist who takes this idea seriously and who decides to test it. I am not a physicist, but an Engineer. I have a different certificate than a physicist and I take my hat off to these very clever, hard working and knowledgeable professionals. I hope this "Grease Monkey" has sparked some degree of curiosity in the mind of at least one of you.

The God particle is within everything. Sometimes the things you looking for are in plain sight. You are in the universe and the universe is in you. Simples! 🌻🌻

Well show. Good information.

Exquisitely explained. Congratulations
