Hadron Collider Scientists Discover Three Subatomic Particles Never Seen Before

With CERN starting up again & James Webb showing us it’s first images, it’s a great year for science so far!

- After reading many of the comments posted here, it’s really amazing how scientific discoveries attract the wisdom of people who have spent little time acquiring actual knowledge.

New particles!!!! Government: "Hmm... how can we weaponize this?"

6 hours to walk around it? That puts things into a good perspective.

"Whether it can destroy the earth, it hasn't done that if it did that that would be one of our top stories" 🤣

Bizarre that they never mentioned which particles they had found.

This just shows me how stupid they think we are, because this whole idea, project, experiment whatever is stupid.

It’s kind of ironic that we need something that massive to study something that small.

I kind of wish the actual mechanics had been explained. So here it is in a nutshell. The whole complex is basically several giant doughnuts made out of super powerful magnets. Tiny little bits of matter are floated in magnetic fields and then the magnetic fields are "squeezed" so that the matter moves through the donuts at ridiculously high speeds then slammed into each other, and we take a video and try to figure out what we just saw happen. Hope this helps make sense of what is a very complex and difficult task.

What they have “discovered” are tetraquarks and pentaquarks. They have discovered no additions to the standard model (which would be big news)

They had already discovered tetraquarks and pentaquarks, but this is supposed to be about how the tetraquarks and pentaquarks they discovered recently are displaying patterns of exotic hadrons not typically seen before that are of interest to scientists. The pentaquark observed recently was made up of a strange quark which has never been seen in pentaquarks before, and the tetraquarks were seen in a pair, which is also a first. To sum it all up, its helping scientists to further understand these particles so they can eventually modify or update existing models.

Excellent job by Jacob Ward! Some of the best interview questions for LHC scientists i've ever seen.

Isn't this the place that has a statue of Shiva .

I like this reporter, he has a good voice & seems to ask good questions.

It would be nice to learn about these particles versus just saying we’ve discovered them

Plot twist: We were created from another universe doing the same thing.

This is utterly cool - and in the same week as the images from deep space from the James Webb!

It really reminds of the TV show Fringe when reality changes, people meet their doppelgangers and the observers take over the world

This makes me wonder if things just go infinitely smaller as space goes out.

"That would've been our first story." 😂
