Presuming you could store those antiprotons, and presuming 0% loss over time, you would need about 28 billion years for that machine to produce a single gram.

2:29 If I didn’t already know the name, I swear I would have heard “How a strange physicist, called The Rock.”

I thought I lost my ability to concentrate for more than 15 minutes on a single video. Here I am an hour later, feeling educated and entertained. You have my gratitude, Veritasium!

It is hard to imagine that this level of script, editing and animation quality is available to watch free.

"Scientists don't want you to know this!"
As demonstrated at 44:26, scientists will let you literally walk into their billion dollar science experiment setup if you look interested. There is nothing they want more than for you to know what they are working on.

All I know is that Steins;Gate has taught me that CERN is working on time travel and keeps a monopoly on the technology through force. Good anime, I'll have to try the visual novel.

"A nice, slow 16,200,000 km/h." The sandals my mom threw at me when I was a child must be faster than this

I love that, at the end of the day. We are still doing science by dropping things.

“CERN has a magic box that genuinely just melts every cell in your body” interesting

Did not expect to get a top comment on a Veritasium vid in my life

Stealing an Antimatter from CERN to make an Antimatter bomb is indeed conCERNing

I'm always worried in Italian restaurants about what could happen should the antipasti come into contact with pasta. Presumably they have seperate kitchens.

0:39 I always imagined an antimatter factory would be in some top secret underground bunker, not have a giant blue sign 😅
