The Higgs Boson and the Fate of the Universe - Joseph Lykken (SETITalks)

Boring,

Did people start motion in the universe ? Is it all man made ? Reference the Higgs boson muon experiment at LHC in Cern. ..the Higgs muon may decay faster than the speed of light ? If so could Human Beings have started motion in the universe by generating a particle that allegedly went faster than the speed of light..with a 10 Billion Dollar man made machine ..creating a particle that goes .back into time ..15 billion + years ago when there was no motion - just motionless static gravity fields ..and that particle started motion, gravitational instability and matter in the universe ?

Thank you.

what a shithouse intro..

SPOILER ALERT:
1. The Higgs Boson doesn't give mass, the Higgs field does.
2. Most mass is coming from other energy sources. In fact, mass is equal to energy, so a box with pure energy would weigh something without any Higgs already.
3. The Higgs field is - unlike other fields - non-zero anywhere, so it will contribute a little to every fermion particle's overall mass.
4. Physicists are freaking out over it because it sort of completes the Standard Model of Physics.
5. It's not the god particle.
6. I go to bed now.

Anyone else wonder about the Higgs field? For instance, the measure value of the Higgs boson mass being just the right value to keep the universe in an unstable state of collapse? I wonder if we're all zipping along at the speed of light extremely close to a denser state of the Higgs field which gives the universe its mass and then it away again in the blink of an eye?
Think of this denser Higgs field almost as a gigantic processor that is calculating entropy and Spacetime and then quantum tunnelling all of that information into speed of light states with each state being collapsed over and over again (and quite possibly all of the probable states too) we wouldn't notice these states as they would happen at the speed of light.Also basically, in some sense it seems we are close to an edge of some sort that either could collapse at any minute or collapses state by state? It's especially interesting to me when I think of the arrow of time, entropy and relativity in these terms!? Oh yeah not to forget a few quantum mechanic experiments ive heard about.

Maybe someone can please point me toward an answer or theory that I'm looking for because in my mind it seems fairly obvious that the Universe could in principle work like this (given enough energy for the computations) < in defence to the enormous amounts of energy needed to be able to collapse matter and then return mass faster than speed of light, you just have to remember how ridiculously big the universe is - never mind the energy/force from the singularity

Anyone pumped out the numbers on what will kill everything first? Higgs field or expansion?

The Higgs Boson and the Fate of the Universe?

I'm confused, why are we messing with the building block of this dimension?

....I feel like a bunch of toddlers are playing with a box of matches and black powder.....

so many questions to ask but as willy wonka said ""
but seriously

apologies im not a mathematician so i will put question rather as i see it

how does the finding of the higs boson affect the other physics theories
and what do the physicists predict as what may be next?

Thank you SETI institute for the videos.

great video, great content, just amazing what can we do as humans. Thank you all the scientists around the world for changing the world :)

I can imagine the frustration of not knowing more or not knowing at all, especially if you are in the field of science. It seems all we know are questions that can only lead to more questions and bigger mysteries. That is so beyond genius and very funny too. The invisible fields alone are the funniest to me, filling what we call space with spirit web stuff no one talks about. We barely hear about vortices and we are at the stage where we need to convince ourselves of a find in order to meet expectation. The invisible science ALONE I will have to assume will be impossible to deal with BECAUSE it is on the level of spirit and dimensions. And they won't be having that. lol

..so that dude who received the coffee cup was pretty clear on his position.

Where do they get all this Funding for these projects unreal ??

i want to kiss higgs hands

I follow all the steps taking by CERN for years now and I wonder what is the real reason to spend so much money from so many countries in a project that has all the ingredients of scientists that have gone mad and are getting more and more out of control! Why is CERN protected and a state on it's own? Does mankind not realize that playing with the elements can result in disaster! With the plans of CERN in the coming monthes as they go for more gravity-power than earth itself and temperatures rising higher than our SUN WE risk to loose everything we know. Mass and anti-mass (dark matter) are too dangerous to play with! CERN should first investigate if they are already the cause of the stress on earth-core and shields that are visible in earthquakes, extreme storms, earthslidings and sinkholes. And worst CERN and all it's projects may have already caused blackholes in our planet! Science is a good thing but scientists have to realize where the border lies between worth testing and better not to test at all!         In case You Tube will delete this very important message to Mankind you will be able to find this message in no time back via Google on other communication-fora. THIS MESSAGE SHOULD BE READ BY EVERYBODY. In the coming 2 monthes our faith lies in the hand of just a handfull of people at CERN that think to be GODS and as our Universe started out of nothing it can disappear as it never existed. CERN do not mess with the Higgs (GOD's) particle and other elements of our universe.

loved this presentation. thankyou! 

Nice talk...except for the " the americans thos and the americans that..." geez.i wish those Kind of people would get over a national type thinking. ..

Odd that he said that was the birth place of what we call cloud computing. My understanding is that cloud computing came from the distributed net project back in the late 90s, with such projects as Seti@home and a few others like it.

The scientific community is one of the most closed minded groups there is. 

This lecture was very well written even a cretin such as myself could understand 

So.. The reason we have mass and existence is because we are moving through the Higgs field.
If we could isolate an object from the Higgs field, then we should  be able to use a light beam to transport it at light speed. 

I got the joke about "Wow!" and I am not a scientist.:-)

Wow Satyendra Nath Bose gets no credit in this lecture! It is a minor point, since Bose ONLY had the particle named after him and it is in the title Higgs Boson, but who cares about that Indian guy. 

Very interesting stuff.. But the part about Americans running things was completely wrong. The 3 people in the photograph are all Europeans. Maria Spiropulu is of Greek nationality, Anders Ryd is Swedish and Jim Virdee is British, as Joseph stated.

very good lecture

Excellent talk - New aspects but all together the best and straight forward explanation I've ever seen on the Higgs Boson and its implications. Beautiful. Thanks to Seti and Lykken for this rare and magic travel into the beauty of science.

Thank you...I don't understand all the depth of the search but i feel that's very fondamental about our apprehension of the universe's laws...In few years we'll be familiar with that...;)

Great talk. i'm going out on a limb here. if a low energy state Higgs field equals great fireballs expanding at the speed of light. then are these fireballs the same fireballs that we call the Big Bang? or, is there a relationship between the state of the Higgs field permeating or not perfectly permeating space/time and the creation of universes. or do we still hold to the theory that requires a universe where there was no space/time prior to the Big Bang and it was all folded in on itself.

you should have shown a photo of Francois Englert and even Robert Brout first and foremost...

excellent!
