- Because we hear two presentations from the two experiments, Atlas and CMS, on their update on a search for a certain particle. - Atlas is very pleased to present here today a big result on the standard model searches. - I'm kind of nervous for some reason.
thing to do. Because in addition to all of those things, it was the right thing to do. Atlas rockets had been the scarier, riskier choice for launching the first Americans to earth orbit too, because the things were exceedingly temperamentaland had a troubling tendency to explode on the way up.
feasibility with shooting and scheduled sit around with my camera guys and we have a few beers and we say we're in the Atlas and nowhere do we want to go that we've never been that would be awesome uh maybe I'll have a random barroomconversation as happened with Nashville that's talking to Dean Fertita from Queens of the Stone Age and he said you I live in Nashville it's a really kind
our job as humans is to seek out that wonder and to revel in it and we want Atlas obscura to be your guide thank youand I think we have time for a couple questions if anybody has them
and we have seen over these last seven years is that quite a few places that we started in Atlas obscura ended up with a little closed or out of business or disappeared kind of we actually had to insert a tagon the site so you could identify places is no longer extant these places disappear not because they are over
Software company. Obviously much smaller than Google. Atlassian. Has some offices in San Francisco along with Sydney. They do something really cool. Once a quarter, they say to their software developers, "You can work on anything you want for the next 24 hours."
T.COLIN CAMPBELL: Well, that was one of the purposes for getting involved in China, because the Chinese government had had at that time, they had produced, in fact, an atlas of cancer mortality for about a dozen different cancers around the country in about 2,500 counties. So what the Chinese had realized in the 1970s was that these different diseases were very high in some places and low in other places.
whirlwind quick tour of some of my favorite places that have been uploaded to Atlas obscura over the years and which now appear in this big thick book so let's see here so this is one of the first places that anybody added to Atlas
Many of them were in this room or on the video link waiting to see and to listen to the results. The Atlas colleagues working towards the same goal, the Large Hadron Collider's providing the most powerful and intense proton beans, the generations of experimental particle physicists search for the Higgs boson, the theoretical physicists whose work led to the prediction of this particle
So this is a concept that sometimes gets referred to as the horizon, we refer to as the interval. And Atlas had an interesting structure, where it had two kinds of memory.
were the size of 2third of this room they were building the atlas rockets that could shoot things into space within the home nothing much changed in the years I was growing up if you were
So this is a real view. In atlases , their vision is distorted. So the best few from the satellite is actually over Africa.
Since the Higgs field is zero, the weak force particles don't feel mass, and therefore, they can travel at the speed of light, just like the You could take the ATLAS detector, and you could put four of them on a soccer or a football field, and it would fill the field up with just enough room on the
And this is everything that you can possibly see in this map. It's like an atlas with everything. And now, once you have that map, now you can choose what route you want to take.
This may well be his blood brother. They moved through the Atlas Mountains, and moved right across towards Lisbon.
get out there and have a ball while we're doing it. My name is Atlas .
So it's not great to be indispensable. You're not Atlas . The world is not sitting on your shoulders. I think what happens is that-- maybe you didn't have a ton of confidence as a kid or you didn't feel like your parents appreciated you--
I got a big Atlas that we had true story I went to the back of the atlas and I
masculine singular noun and so you'd expect it to be Atlas obscurus or maybe it's the Atlas of obscure things in which case it would be ad less obscure or room so what the hell is Atlas obscura you know we've been at this for seven years
And the is on the next slide, which is the combined result of the 2011 and the 2012. I was actually at Atlas at the same time, so it brings back a lot of memories.
Even "Cloud Atlas ." Even crazy, everything is happening at different times.
I could do an atlas .
This is the same atlas that I showed you before.
People have an atlas .
Itís www dot atlas dash marpatagonico dot org.
look at the Knot Atlas kind of similar. String Theory Wiki. And there's actually similar stories. I should say actually when I say they failed, I'm just talking about in terms
a road atlas , so-- but a good, old magnifying glass will work and you can see the oldest building in Los Angeles, is the Villa Adobe, and you can see it on this. You can see, basically, the plaza
So what is the Atlas of Global Conservation? Well, it's basically song lines for planet earth just in Western scientific language. I guess that's the best way to put it.
What the Atlas has is a series of maps; maps that you have never seen before because the data has never been put in one place before.
Let's talk about some other cool places -- cool places that might yield some lessons for this equally cool place. Let's talk about this company, yes. This company -- Atlassian. Atlassian -- Australian company. Software company. Obviously much smaller than Google.
And so Dr. Chen and I, with our new colleagues, and some others too, especially Sir Richard Peto from the University of Oxford and the director of that atlas , but in any case, we got together and start talking, why don't we go to China and just sort of survey appropriately a lot of different sites, sites that were low and with disease rates, high in other disease rates?
where we're using this Opportunity Atlas data to ask what types of programs, what's going on in neighborhoods in your city where we're seeing much better outcomes?
Compare them to any star atlas , where we have the positions of the stars.
look at the "Star Wars Atlas ," cross-check with Wookieepedia, and see if these things will work.
I met Colin back at Atlas software which was the company that Google acquired to
waiting to be explored every year we hold an annual celebration of wonder and curiosity called obscura day where fans of Atlas obscura travel out and have sort of we send expeditions to places like California City and on one of the first obscure days we had 400 people
no more comfortable crossing the bridge yeah Sothis obscura seems to be an atlas of the present but I'm looking here at church of st. Simeon the skylight in Syria which is just outside of Aleppo which probably doesn't stand anymore and you were talking about the gates of Hell
So this is a concept that sometimes gets referred to as the horizon, we refer to as the interval. This is the picture of the Atlas computer, which was a computer which was built at Manchester University in the 1960s.
So this is a concept that sometimes gets referred to as the horizon, we refer to as the interval. But a mathematician who was working on Atlas named Maurice Wilkes realized that there was a better way to solve this problem.
And there we have the Atlas robot.
So all the Tumor Cancer Genome Atlas that's publicly available is now searchable in the cBioPortal.
And again from the map and the atlas , you can see, it almost got it.
I like sitting around reading atlas 's, and dictionaries, and encyclopedias.
Joshua is co-founder of Atlas Obscura an online guide to the world's wonders and curiosities and is also co-founder of the design competition, Sukkah City.
So the biggest problem with doing the Atlas was guess what? It was getting that data, right?
-- on this part of the Atlas .
Since the Higgs field is zero, the weak force particles don't feel mass, and therefore, they can travel at the speed of light, just like the - Small. ATLAS experiment is 150 feet long, 80 feet across. It weighs only 7,000 tons.
Look at what Stripe are trying to do with Atlas .
OK. So with "Atlas Underground," you seem to be kind of pushing the boundaries of what music can be
And I had that option of looking on an atlas of trying to find Burhanpur, which is the only name that I remembered
