A lot of what we know about the early Universe comes from experiments done in giant particle colliders.

我们对早期宇宙的很多了解都来自于巨型粒子对撞机所做的实验。

How do the Large Hadron Collider experiments work?

大型强子对撞机实验是如何进行的？

But wait, what exactly does a particle collider do.

等等，粒子对撞机到底是做什么的？

It can sift through piles of data such as those produced by particle colliders or robotic telescopes, looking for patterns.

它可以筛选大量的数据，比如粒子对撞机或机器人望远镜产生的数据，寻找固定模式。

They say, not for a… not for our particle collider, sir.

他们说，不是为了… … 不是为了我们的粒子对撞机，先生。

He's taking us on a tour of Norman, the company's plasma collider.

他要带我们参观公司的等离子对撞机 Norman。

So Neil is arranging the sample of Rubidium against the metallic back plate in the small metallic collider.

因此，Neil 正在将铷样品放在小型金属对撞机的金属背板上。

The higher energy we can give our colliders, the faster we can whack particles together, and the earlier phase of the Universe we can investigate.

我们的对撞机能提供的能量越高，粒子碰撞的速度就越快，我们就能对宇宙的早期阶段进行研究。

The leptoquark itself would be too heavy for the collider to produce, says Dr Isidori.

Isidori 博士说，轻夸克本身太重，对撞机无法产生。

At that time, we were working at the European Organization for Nuclear Research at the world's largest particle collider, which collides protons, by the way.

当时我们在欧洲核能研究所工作，那里有世界上最大型的粒子对撞器。

What would it be like if we both try… if you helped make it into a particle collider?

如果我们都尝试… … 如果你帮助把它变成粒子对撞机，那会是什么样子？

So you're not like worrying about a collider, boiling a huge pot of water for like 15 minutes.

所以你不必担心对撞机，将一大锅水煮沸 15 分钟。

So they invented telescopes to peer into the depths of space, and particle colliders to smash matter into its constituent parts.

因此， 他们发明了望远镜来观测太空深处，并发明了粒子对撞机来将物质粉碎成其组成部分。

By the way, did I tell you? Leslie pulled some strings and got me on the research trip to Geneva to check out the CERN Super collider.

对了，我告诉过你没有，由于莱斯莉暗箱操作，我能去日内瓦的欧洲物理研究所参观超级超导对撞机了。

Down on Earth we are told that in 2020 the world's most powerful particle collider the Large Hadron Collider will get some big updates.

在地球上，我们被告知，到 2020 年，世界上最强大的粒子对撞机大型强子对撞机将进行一些重大更新。

You might think that we have to use traditional particle physics approaches, like colliders, where we smash particles together and see what comes out.

你可能认为我们必须使用传统的粒子物理方法，比如对撞机，我们将粒子粉碎在一起，看看会产生什么。

But in all previous versions the force-carrying particle was so heavy that no particle collider was or is powerful enough to create it.

但是在所有以前的版本中，承载力的粒子都非常重，以至于没有粒子对撞机足够强大来创建它。

You—in 15 years when we turn on this collider, we're going to discover what this particle is, we'll measure how heavy it is.

你——15年后，当我们打开这个对撞机时，我们将发现这个粒子是什么，我们将测量它有多重。

The kit they have to conduct their search with is a yet-more-powerful version of the collider that found the Higgs boson a decade ago.

他们用来进行搜索的工具包是十年前发现希格斯玻色子的对撞机的更强大版本。

And the new, super-heavy elements that are made using particle colliders -- the ones that have atomic numbers over 110 -- all decay in a matter of milliseconds.

而使用粒子对撞机制造的新型超重元素— —原子序数超过 110 的元素— — 都会在几毫秒内衰变。
