What's Really Happening At CERN

Took my daughter there as a gift when she graduated from university . Now she's a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. Proud Dad

Loved the final note about how we want an Alien civilization to look at us as a scientific and curious race and not just a planet of conflict and mass destruction

For context... $17B is roughly 1 week of the US military budget. Just to give a little perspective.

I'm bald so I don't understand how small protons are.

Find someone who looks at you the way Cleo looks at the CERN collider. Your passion and awe for this stuff is infectious.

Thanks for coming to visit us at CERN! It was fantastic to show you and the team our experiment and I love how the video came out! ☺

I went there before the pandemic during the open days, when they had every part of LHC open. It was the best weekend of my life, this machine is truly an engineering masterpiece

Well done. You managed to explain everything in a very cool way without oversensationalizing it.

That size comparison of a grain of rice as a nucleus honestly blew my mind

Cleo is just out here living our nerd fantasies; working with NASA, Boston Dynamics, F1, CERN, etc. Thanks for bringing us along with you.

Well put Cleo, science needs people like you to make it more accessible. The best thing about science is that it's a shared human experience in time, and we need to accelerate that knowledge

whenever i stop feeling excited about my career or science i watch one of your videos and it's amazing how you make us feel excited just as you are and thanks for that !!!!!!!!1

RIP Peter Higgs. As a lapsed particle physicist I actually cried during the Higgs Boson announcement scene. An amazing human and I'm so glad he got to see the actual detection of his proposed/theoretical particle.

RIP Peter Ware Higgs... The giant genius of particle physics🙏🙏

Where were you all this time? I loved this video. I am a Physics student currently doing my Masters. This video literally gave me a boost in my motivation to learn more.

Deployed Worldwide Through My Deep Learning AI Research Library… Thanks Cleo.

I was immensely lucky to be able to work as part of the ATLAS collaboration and make a tiny tiny contribution. Amazing group of people from all over the worlds doing great work.

"Yep, it's a bump on a chart." This is part of why I learn so much from your videos.

Thank you for making complex topics digestible and comprehensible, you have struck a great balance for the general public.

14:07 - the headline about "a massive waste of money" comes from people who seem to think that when we spend money it gets piled up into a bonfire and burned. No, it goes back into the economies of the countries involved. It gets collected again as taxes, goes into savings accounts, gets invested and recirculated. The number also seems large but only because we're stupidly impressed by lots of zeroes. $22 billion is about the same as the annual budget of NASA, which is only about the 23rd largest US federally funded organisation. The US spends a similar amount each year on railway pensions.
