nuclear research or cern in switzerland. it s also home to the famous l h c particle accelerator the cloud experiment is also based here. in. the am so here we are in an experimental hall at the at cern. under these concrete blocks magnets conducted protons into the cloud chamber. scientists simulate the composition and conditions of different atmosphere and observe how they react to ionizing particles. not what you see about silver cylinder though it s actually the thermal housing that surrounds the cloud chip the chamber itself is three metre chamber is inside of that it s
a full size seats for quadruplets. it s a phenomenal discovery. if cosmic rays are important for the formation of clouds then they are also important for the development of life on earth. clowns play a crucial role in the long term evolution of the planet s climate. this is a direct connection between cosmic rays and the conditions that can prettiest life . investigating that now in cloud we don t have all the answers we have seen that it does humble the certain circumstances by no means ready we re not finished. that s why we re doing the experiment we still have many questions to answer. it s not yet possible to say how vital cosmic radiation is focus. formation but there s another climate phenomenon that s clearly related to cosmic rays it is
work against this is what was provoking the. of charge from. respect because it s. a reasonable explanation if the radioactive elements were the problem oh you d have to do is conduct experiments and isolated conditions. in one thousand eleven german physicist who are of the earth climbed the eiffel tower carrying an advanced electro scope to test this theory. but the device discharged faster than before. so isolation was evidently not the solution. but if it led to the discharge it didn t come from us. in nine hundred twelve austrian physicist vic to head carried out a daring experiment. what he did was to put a lot of scope in the. world gap i mean it was quite
original position but they ought to have remained disconnected from each other because of their electrical repulsion. the scientists were stunned to find that the plates began to discharge for no discernible reason regardless of how the experiment was carried out in the end they always returned to their original position. in a. very big you know for our brand of their last stand the nineteenth century twenty century scientists realize that nature. has. some of these elements release charged particles that could explain the repetitious charge of the plates perhaps some stuff in the atmosphere and if warranted was meeting predicted to be just. actually charge
reasonable explanation if the radioactive elements were the problem oh you d have to do is conduct experiments on the isolated conditions. in one thousand in levon german physicists climbed the eiffel tower carrying an advanced electro scope to test this theory. but the device discharged faster than before so isolation was evidently not the solution. but if it led to the discharge it didn t come from earth. in nine hundred twelve austrian physicist dick to head scary doubt it during experiment. and what it did was to put a letter spoke in a balloon well i mean it was quite a feat because he went back to something like five thousand meters. for
