It is premature to discuss since LHC will be around for a long time. Any discovery will help to shape any future collider. | ||

I am listening to the conference and it seems they have almost confirmed a theory.. but what is the real world benefit of this? I want my dark matter car :D | ||

A technical response instead of a metaphor. No metaphors were given in the end. | ||

Gravity is not included in the Standard Model. The Standard Model is incomplete. | ||

Any discovery will help to shape any future collider. Following up on this: There are already plans for a new particle accelerator, it's going to be a linear one (rather than circular). It will most likely collide electrons and positrons. It's still in the earliest of design stages. An electron-positron collider is much more useful for precisely measuring particle properties. The LHC collides protons, but it's only a single quark in each proton that actually interacts. The distribution of energy among the quarks is unknown, which means that you don't know the actual energy of the interaction. Electrons and positrons are elementary particles, so when you collide them, you know precisely how much energy is available in the interaction and this value can be tuned accurately. Proton-proton colliders are brute force machines to find new things, electron-positron colliders are precision instruments to study known particles in more detail. | ||

I've been at the lab all night long doing this but I have to get the car home now. | ||

I want my dark matter car :D This question is probably the most asked and has been asked a million times....... To bring science forward, in all subjects this must be done (experimentation with the LHC), simply! That is the most simple way to answer. And this has been done for the last 100 years, only know it is more known and hyped than before. Particle accelerators has been created many many times in different shapes and forms. | ||

I've been at the lab all night long doing this but I have to get the car home now. I can do it. Starting at the next question. Q: Was the choice to present results in CERN instead of at the Melbourne conference to show the sponsor countries their investment was valuable? A: It's normal for labs to present results at their own institute before they present at conferences. It's also a courtesy towards the funding agencies as well as the staff. People / organizations that have invested (money, people) have a right to hear results at this place. | ||

To bring science forward, in all subjects this must be done (experimentation with the LHC), simply! The real world implications aren't really that much right now. Think about it like this: Someone come up with the idea that the big squishy thing in your head was responsible for "you". What implications does that have in real life? Not a whole hell of a lot, but as you learn more and more about it you begin seeing ways to use your data. The first stage of learning is simply finding new data. The next stage is learning more about how that data works with everything else. The last stage is finding a way to do something we couldn't do yet with the help of the new found information. | ||

A: Need to balance between fundamental and applied science. Without fundamental science you lose the basis for applied science. Metaphor: If you have a sack of corn, do you eat it (applied science) or plant it (fundamental science)? If you do one to the exclusion of the other, you will starve. If you balance the two, you get good results. Q: How about emerging countries / less developed countries? A: 100 nationalities working at CERN, 20 member states, 45 countries with collaboration, also emerging countries. Outreach program with education, helps combat poverty. Closing of the Q&A. Rebroadcast with "highlights" from the 2 seminar presentations. | ||

Theoretical Scientists figure put how the world works using mathmatical models Practical scientists test those theorys sometimes those theorys are right sometimes wrong sometimes right but slightly different Then Engineers take this knowledge and translate it to the real world vis inventions etc Also theoretical scientists take the results of practical scientists and update their theorys. Right now were at the practical science part if there is any real world applications they will take time to filter through. But in general what this is, isnt a new hyper car or death ray. Its the POSSIBLE confirmation of a theory. Right now the standard model explains about 4% of the universe. This expiriment could/can/will/might show that the 4% we know is correct. If we know this 4% is correct it shows that we're on the right track to figuring out the 5th %. Possibly that 5th % has real world ramifications. Possibly just the detail they were getting out of the LHC the increases in sensitivity and precision could be used in real world applications. In general dont look to the scientists for the deathrays or darkmatter cars. Look to them to find out if its possible then look to engineers to make it possible. | ||

Where do you get that 4% number though? | ||

Ahh, good point. I'd forgotten about that number. | ||

We can make pretty accurate estimates of the amount of "visible" matter in the universe. We can also look at the motion of galaxies and determine masses using theories of gravitation. There is a huge discrepancy between the two. There is a lot of mass (energy) that we can't see. | ||
