So we aren't stardust, we're Higgs poop.
-
I never asked those questions as a kid. I was more concerned with finding brown cows so I could see where chocolate milk came from.
-
Big love out to Physics Girl!! May you heal fully and be back doing what you love inspiring us.
-
The Cern logo is literally 666, and they have a statue of Shiva the Destroyer.
-
Looks like they were very conCERNed about security.
-
The wonder and excitement in Dianna's voice over science is contagious.
-
Very cool. Congrats Dianna 👏. And that comes from CERN's former video producer. I spent two decades producing exactly this kind of clips, which are still on the CERN YT site, but none of them is as cool and clear as this. Hope it motivates kids to join the quest, which is really fascinating.

Great job!Thank you so much for making this video. I subscribed a long time ago and your videos have gone from pretty cool to very interesting to high quality and on par with Mythbusters and I think the next level for you is documentary quality. Congratulations on your success on YouTube and thank you for creating and sharing the content with us. Stay cool and nerdy.

Thinking about the Severed Body Parts Kit, makes me wonder how many times did it to take to occur that they made a Kit for it?
-
In case of emergency, do not use stairs, use elevator.
-
I think particle physics was fascinating and fun. Still do. It was my favorite subset in physics back in at school days. I use to visit BNL(Brookhaven National Laboratory) in Upton,ny and volunteered there once. Only 2 mile long. Like a mini CERN 🙂
-
I wonder what they are really searching for?
-
The more you learn, the greater what you don't know gets.
-
Jeez one can only imagine the amount of engineering it took to build that monstrosity. I’m in awe.
-
Miss Physics Girl, You explain this so well! Soooo much better than the rest of the videos "out there." But I've come to expect that from you, because you do it time and time again. You are my "goto" when I want to get an understanding of fundamentals of physics. Thank you!
-
The earth map is a perfect quantum field analogy! You can determine which "particle" should be located where. If you visit that place, you are most likely to find that said particle.
-
I love that you gave Dr. Delannoy the floor and just let him speak about his topic. There are so many Youtubers out there that will interview people but interrupt them, and other impolite things. Like, we just want to hear the expert talk!
-
Dianna: "No one's in the beam path when it's on." Anatoli Bugorski: "Hold my synchrotron!"
-
So fascinating... And beautifully presented & produced- Thanks!
-
Awesome, love this video. It puts together the parts of existance in ways that make it seem more clear than I have understood it before.
